§ 2113.16.

Upon granting of letters testamentary or of administration, the power of a special

administrator appointed under section 2113.15 of the Revised Code shall terminate and the special administrator shall transfer to the executor or administrator

all the assets of the deceased in the possession or under the control of the special

administrator.  The special administrator shall file an account of the special administration within

thirty days of the appointment of the executor or administrator.  The account shall be in conformance with section 2109.30 of the Revised Code .  The executor or administrator may be admitted to prosecute any suit begun by the

special administrator, as an administrator de bonis non is authorized to prosecute

a suit commenced by a former executor or administrator. If the special administrator neglects or refuses to transfer the assets and estate

to the executor or administrator, the probate court may compel the transfer by citation

and attachment.  The executor or administrator also may proceed, by civil action, to recover the

value of the assets from the special administrator and the special administrator's

sureties.
