§ 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.
