Ohio Court Construes Treaty On Foreign Administrators
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that foreign consuls do not hold exclusive rights to act as administrators for estates of deceased Italian subjects in Ohio. The decision affected five cases including Nicolo Certi, Italian vice-consul for northern Ohio, who argued he should oversee estates under a U S Italian treaty. The ruling aligns with probate authority remaining with appointed administrators rather than consular figures.
