§ 2111.38.

The resident guardian of a nonresident ward shall give bond and be bound and controlled

by all the statutes of this state as though the resident guardian were a guardian

of a ward resident in this state, and shall have all of the authority of a guardian

of a resident ward including the authority to lease or sell real property belonging

to the ward. Unless removed by the probate court, a resident guardian of a nonresident minor shall

hold that appointment until the minor dies or arrives at the age of majority, whether

or not the minor is over fourteen years of age at the time of appointment.  A resident guardian of any other nonresident ward shall hold that appointment until

the death of the ward or until the court is satisfied that the necessity for the guardianship

no longer exists. All moneys due to the nonresident ward while the resident guardianship continues shall

be paid over to the ward's foreign guardian so far as necessary or proper for the

ward's support and maintenance.  If the ward dies, the moneys shall be paid to the ward's ancillary administrator

or other legal representative, provided that the court that appointed the resident

guardian has satisfactory proof, as provided by section 2111.39 of the Revised Code , of the authority of the foreign guardian, administrator, or other legal representative

to receive the moneys or properties of the nonresident ward, that the security given

by the foreign guardian, administrator, or other legal representative is sufficient

to protect the ward's interest or estate, and that the court considers it best for

the ward or the ward's estate.
