Description
Ohio Guardianship Forms Version 7 (OGF7) prepares the Supreme Court of Ohio standard guardianship forms, keeps them current with form revisions, and gets them out of the office and into the court with as few keystrokes and as few small errors as possible.
For probate attorneys, guardianship practitioners, and law-office staff, Version 7 is a practical upgrade built around the work you actually do: preparing accurate Ohio guardianship forms efficiently, keeping current with form revisions, and reducing small errors that slow down a filing.
New in Version 7
Three forms added:
- Form 17.10 – Service of Notice Information for Adult Guardianships. New from the Supreme Court effective October 1, 2025.
- Form 28.0 – Motion by Guardian for Real Estate Sale by Consent.
- Form 28.1 – Consent to Power to Sell Real Estate (Guardianship).
Current with the latest Supreme Court revisions:
- Form 17.1 – Statement of Expert Evaluation, as revised October 1, 2025.
- Form 17.8 – Court Investigator’s Report on Proposed Guardianship, as revised October 1, 2025.
- Form 27.7 – Annual Guardianship Plan (Person), as amended May 1, 2021.
New ribbon menu. Commonly used commands are now on a ribbon at the top of the window instead of buried in menus.
Visible character limits on multi-line fields. Guardianship forms have a lot of narrative fields, and every one of them has a finite amount of space on the printed page. OGF7 shows you the limit and a live character counter as you type, and warns you when you reach it — so you find out before you print, not after the filing comes back.
Imports your Version 6 files. Pending guardianships entered in Version 6 open directly in Version 7. No re-keying.
Features

Updates are free for the life of the product, which for our applications has historically run four to six years. The product’s life ends when a major new version is released, that is, a change to the version number to the left of the decimal. During that time there are no monthly or annual subscription fees, no separate update charges, no technical-support charges, and no hidden fees.
