§ 2117.13.
If a devisee, legatee, heir, creditor, or other interested party files in the probate
court a written requisition on the executor or administrator to reject a claim presented
for allowance against the estate the executor or administrator represents, whether
the claim has been allowed or not, but which claim has not been paid in full, and
enters into a sufficient bond running to the executor or administrator, the amount,
terms, and surety of which are to be approved by the probate judge, the claim shall
be rejected by the executor or administrator. The notice of rejection shall inform the claimant of the filing of the requisition
and of the name of the party filing the same. The condition of the bond shall be to pay all costs and expenses of contesting the
claim, including any reasonable fee that the court allows to the attorney for the
executor or administrator, in case the claim finally is allowed in whole, and if the
claim is allowed only in part, to pay that part of the expenses that the court may
determine, including any reasonable fee that the court may allow to the attorney for
the executor or administrator.
