The Ohio legal services web site has good advice and all the basic rules listed. I searched "Ohio Collection Rules" and it was 4th or 5th in the list
Collections can't take personal property not specifically awarded to them in a law suit.
A bill collector can't just take any property.
But if you loose a lawsuit they can take everything of value if it is specified in the judgement, including the coat off your back and your special edition Jordan's.
Property exempt from lawsuit judgment is the same that is allowed in bankruptcy. Unfortunately, Ohio law gives the consumer very poor protection from judgment creditors. Basics: Homestead exemption $5,000. Private disability benefits, $600 (monthly) Personal property not to exceed a combined total of $2000. "Wild Card" any property not to exceed the amount of $400. Federal non bankruptcy exemptions are applicable (such as Social Security, pension benefits, etc.
Ohio is changing how they assess and collect their personal property taxes, residents need to stay updated. Here the state's website that describes personal property taxation: http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/personal_property/index.stm
Social Security benefits are exempt from Ohio state income taxes.
In Ohio, a surviving spouse may have rights to a family allowance, exempt property, and a share of the deceased spouse's estate if there were children from a previous relationship. Depending on the circumstances, the surviving spouse may also have rights to social security benefits or life insurance proceeds.
In general, yes. Without a will, the intestacy laws of Ohio will kick in. Given that he has children, the default is that the descendants will inherit the estate, including the personal property. Consult an attorney in Ohio for the details and procedures that must be followed to distribute the estate.
Yes, not only may they, they likely will. When personal property is found in a repossessed vehicle, provided it is not illegal substances or firearms, the repossessing company must take an inventory of all property. They are required to store it pursuant to the individual laws of every state, Ohio is no exception, and they may charge staroage fee for that property. It is unlikely that they will release it to you until that amount is paid, and they may not release to anyone but the registered owner of the vehicle.
In Ohio, the landlord must provide notice to the tenant in writing stating that the property will be disposed of if not claimed within 30 days of the notice being sent. If the tenant does not respond or claim the property within the specified timeframe, the landlord can dispose of the items.
