More details to this question:
My brother in law passed in march. His step son and I lives in his home when he passed away. We think he had 2 wills but his ex wife of 35 yrs. ago said found his will from 1989. I dont know what he had when he changed that will after he married my sister who has also passed away. We are suspicious about the will they claim to have found. He changed things in the newer will. But we cant locate his attorney's name. They are trying to sell the house while we are still living in it. Have not gotten an eviction notice of any kind. She says shes coming in the house on the 9th to sell what's in the house. What can we do?

Move. Unless you have a written lease, you are a guest. No eviction notice is required.
In some states, probate attorneys have a listserv or a Facebook group. You can ask an Ohio probate attorney to post a notice that s/he is looking for the Will of (the deceased's name).
In some states, the local probate court will accept the Will for safekeeping. You can ask the probate court in the county in which he died whether they do this and, if so, whether they have his Will.
