A civil action is a type of a legal proceeding that is commenced by the filing of a complaint with the court. The form of the complaint and all subsequent pleadings in any civil action must conform to the requirements of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure.
The types of civil actions which are filed in the Probate Court include actions to determine the validity of wills, actions to construe wills or trusts, actions which seek a declaratory judgment, and actions which seek the court's approval for the sale, mortgage, or lease of lands.
The Probate Court also has the exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine complaints filed pursuant to Section 2109.50 of the Revised Code against any person suspected of having concealed, embezzled, or conveyed away or of being or having been in possession of any moneys, chattels, or choses in action of such estate.
