§ 2101.37.
When the probate judge of any county is absent, or is unable to attend court, or the
volume of work in the judge's office necessitates it, the judge may call upon a judge
of the court of common pleas having jurisdiction in that county to act in the probate
judge's place or in conjunction with the probate judge, or the probate judge may call
upon the chief justice of the supreme court, who shall designate a judge of the court
of common pleas or a probate judge to act in the place of the absent or incapacitated
probate judge or in conjunction with the absent or incapacitated probate judge. If the probate judge of any county dies or resigns during the judge's term of office,
a judge of the court of common pleas of that county shall act in the place of the
probate judge until a successor is appointed and qualified. When a judge of the court of common pleas or a probate judge so designated resides
outside the county in which the designated judge is called upon to act, the designated
judge shall receive the compensation that is provided for judges of the court of common
pleas designated by the chief justice to hold court outside their respective counties. The record of the cases shall be made and preserved in the proper records of the
probate court by the deputy clerk of the probate court.
