Ohio Code § 2106.05. Reproduced from the official Ohio Revised Code, with a citation summary, verification link, and related provisions.
§ 2106.05.
If a surviving spouse elects to take under the will, the surviving spouse shall be
barred of all right to an intestate share of the property passing under the will and
shall take under the will alone, unless it plainly appears from the will that the
provision for the surviving spouse was intended to be in addition to an intestate
share. An election to take under the will does not bar the right of the surviving spouse
to an intestate share of that portion of the estate as to which the decedent dies
intestate. Unless the will expressly otherwise directs, an election to take under the will
does not bar the right of the surviving spouse to remain in the mansion house, and
does not bar the right of the surviving spouse to receive the allowance for the support
provided by section 2106.13 of the Revised Code .
