§ 2115.03.

If an executor or administrator neglects or refuses to return an inventory as provided

by section 2115.02 of the Revised Code , the probate court shall issue an order requiring the executor or administrator,

at an early day specified in the order, to return an inventory.  After personal service of the order by a person authorized to make the service,

if the executor or administrator, by the day appointed, does not return the inventory

or fails to obtain further time from the court to return it, or if the order cannot

be served personally by reason of the executor or administrator absconding or concealing

self, the court may remove the executor or administrator and new letters shall be

granted.  The letters shall supersede all former letters testamentary or of administration,

deprive the former executor or administrator of all power, authority, or control over

the estate of the deceased, and entitle the person appointed to take, demand, and

receive the effects of the deceased wherever they are found. In every case of the revocation of letters under this section, the bond given by the

former executor or administrator shall be prosecuted and a recovery had on the bond

to the full extent of any injury sustained by the estate of the deceased by the former

executor's or administrator's acts or omissions, and to the full value of all the

property of the deceased received and not administered by the former executor or administrator.
