Surviving Spouse Inheritance Rights under Ohio Law
For more than three decades, Jeffrey Feyko has worked as an administrative hearing officer, solicitor, and attorney in Fairfield County, Ohio. Jeffrey Feyko concentrates his practice in estate law, probate, and will execution.
Individuals can choose to disinherit certain family members by leaving the person out of their will. However, Ohio law has special rules in place to prevent this from happening to surviving spouses. If the testator explicitly leaves the spouse out of their will or leaves a smaller portion than expected, the spouse has the right to take legal action against the will. Generally, spouses are entitled to half of their spouse's estate. The only exception is if the testator has two or more children or direct descendants like grandchildren. However, the spouse is still entitled to at least a third of the remaining estate.
Spouses can also remain in the primary residence a year after their spouse’s passing. In many cases, the spouse also has the right to inherit the home and up to two automobiles, under certain conditions. Surviving spouses can also receive a support allowance, which is capped at $40,000. Spouses who want to contest the will must file with the probate court within a specific time frame - otherwise, these rights are no longer valid.

Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 11, 2014—Today the Equal Rights Center (ERC)—a national non-profit civil rights organization—released a new toolkit to help veterans with disabilities advocate for accessible housing.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of veterans return home to new challenges and barriers due to physical and mental disabilities resulting from their service to and for our country,” said Melvina Ford, executive director of the ERC. “Under the federal Fair Housing Act, these veterans are entitled to accessible housing and beyond that our gratitude and respect.”
According to government sources, 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for service-related disabilities, more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War.
The lack of available accessible housing for these veterans with disabilities contributes to higher rates of unemployment and homelessness. Approximately 12 percent of the homeless population is made up of veterans, which in real numbers amounts to almost 50,000 homeless veterans on our streets.
“Our veterans—particularly those who return home with service-related disabilities—deserve equal treatment and opportunity in all aspects of their new lives,” said James Schenck, president and CEO of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PenFed). “It is imperative that we ensure that veterans with disabilities have the resources and education to be effective advocates for themselves and their families.”
The Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit highlights the rights to accessible housing afforded to veterans with disabilities under Title XIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This toolkit provides: an overview of the rights provided by the federal FHA, information on accessible design requirements of multifamily development, how to request a reasonable modification or accommodation from property owners or managers and answers to frequently asked questions.
SOI_Toolkit
The document provides information about source of income discrimination in housing and resources for addressing it.

Resources are provided for learning more about source of income protections and addressing discrimination.
NARPM Presentation- Landlord/Tenant
The document provides an overview and summary of various fair housing and landlord-tenant laws. It discusses the main federal and state acts that prohibit housing discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866, Fair Housing Act of 1968, Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, and Florida Fair Housing Act. It covers protected classes, exemptions, advertising restrictions, reasonable accommodations and modifications requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the complaint filing process.

While VAWA self-petitioners are eligible for some benefits, housing access remains unclear due to lack of HUD guidance. The document also discusses verification procedures and PHA reporting obligations regarding immigration status.
