In re Estate of Troutman

- 2026 Ohio 855
Syllabus
The probate court erred in vacating a 2003 judgment determining heirship under its inherent authority where the judgment was potentially voidable, not void. Appellant-heir's claim that the probate court lacked jurisdiction to determine the heirs of a non-resident decedent was not ripe for review. Heir's claim that the probate court had improperly attempted to divest a deceased heir's vested rights was moot. Judgment reversed.
