I am planning to file a new will to Ohio probate court to keep the date updated. Can I do that because I already filed one before. I am doing this to keep the will's date current? Does it need to be notarized to make it valid?

In Ohio, wills do not need to be notarized, if fact notarizing it would serve no purpose. In Ohio, wills need to be signed at the end and attested to by two adults in the presence the maker. You can file has many wills as you wish with the probate court but there is no need to file a new will simply to have a recent date. Certainly, if circumstances have changed and you changed beneficiaries or wish to specify that certain assets go to certain people, file a new will but there is no need to file an identical will with a new date.
