Ohio court rules $350,000 farm sale proceeds go to heirs named in woman's will, not deed beneficiaries

An Ohio appeals court ruled that $350,000 from the sale of a 62-acre farm must go to the heirs named in the seller’s will, rather than beneficiaries listed on the deed. The woman died one day after the sale agreement took effect, prompting a dispute over the proceeds. The ruling was issued on October 5, 2026.
