My husband passed in April. I’m getting requests from credit card companies addressed to “Estate of…”. The house was in his name and I am the successor. No other assets or money—lived month to month. Am I responsible for his debt and can they come after the house? It’s 3–5 cards, maybe $10k total.

Hello. I’m a homeowner in Ohio renting out rooms where I live. One tenant (month-to-month) plans to move out on August 31, 2025. Early morning June 28, 2025 around 2:50 a.m., the tenant opened my private bedroom door while I was asleep, without permission. This violated my privacy, safety, and peaceful enjoyment. I can share the lease (general obligations on respect/peaceful enjoyment; no explicit bedroom boundary). Questions: Is this a material breach or a violation of Ohio Rev. Code §5321.05(A)? Can I issue a 3-day notice to vacate? What steps if they don’t comply? Goal: act lawfully while protecting my home.

My sister and I would like me to inherit my parents’ house, and she will inherit any liquid assets they have. My parents do not want to change their will. If my sister files a disclaimer of interest for the house and I file one for the liquid assets, will the house pass solely to me and the liquid assets solely to my sister?
