Probate records created after 1852 are held by the Adams County, Ohio Probate Court. From 1797 or the creation of the county, probate records were held by the Court of Common Pleas. Most counties transferred all records to the Probate Court, but in some circumstances, Court of Common Pleas records should be searched for records prior to 1852. Most records are housed at the County Courthouse. See Ohio Wills and Estates to 1850: An Index for more complete information about the location of county probate records. See the wiki page Ohio Probate Records for more information about using probate records.
