(A) A specific devisee or legatee has the right to the remaining specifically devised

or bequeathed property, and the following: (1) Any balance on the purchase price, together with any security interest owing from

a purchaser to the testator at death by reason of sale of the property; (2) Any amount of condemnation award unpaid at death for the taking of the property; (3) Any proceeds unpaid at death on fire or casualty insurance on the property; (4) Property owned by the testator at death as a result of foreclosure, or obtained in

lieu of foreclosure, of the security for a specifically devised or bequeathed obligation. (B) If specifically devised or bequeathed property is sold by a guardian, by an agent

acting within the authority of a power of attorney, or by an agent acting within the

authority of a durable power of attorney, or if a condemnation award or insurance

proceeds are paid to a guardian, to an agent acting within the authority of a power

of attorney, or to an agent acting within the authority of a durable power of attorney

as a result of condemnation, fire, or casualty to the property, the specific devisee

or legatee has the right to a general pecuniary devise or bequest equal to the net

proceeds of sale, the condemnation award, or the insurance proceeds, and that devise

or bequest shall be treated as property subject to section 2107.54 of the Revised Code .  This section does not apply if subsequent to the sale, condemnation, fire, or casualty,

it is adjudicated that the disability of the testator has ceased and the testator

survives the adjudication by one year.  The right of the specific devisee or legatee is reduced by any right acquired under

division (A) of this section.
