Ohio Code § 2129.08

§ 2129.08.

(A) After an authenticated copy of the will of a nonresident decedent has been allowed

and admitted to record as provided in this chapter, and after there has been filed

in the probate court a complete exemplification of the record of the grant of the

domiciliary letters of appointment and of any other records of the court of domiciliary

administration that the court requires, the court shall appoint as the ancillary administrator

the person named in the will, or nominated in accordance with any power of nomination

conferred in the will, as general executor of the decedent's estate or as executor

of the portion of the decedent's estate located in this state, provided that the person

makes application and qualifies under division (B)(2) of section 2109.21 of the Revised Code and in all other respects as required by law.  If the testator in the will naming or providing for the nomination of that executor

orders or requests that bond not be given by that executor, bond shall not be required

unless, for sufficient reason, the court requires it. (B) If a nonresident decedent died intestate, or failed to designate in the nonresident

decedent's will any person qualified to act as ancillary administrator or to confer

in the will a power to nominate a person as an executor as described in division (A)

of this section, or if the will of a nonresident decedent conferred that power but

no person qualified to act as ancillary administrator was nominated, the court shall

appoint in that capacity a suitable person who is a resident of the county including,

but not limited to, a creditor of the estate. (C) An ancillary administrator, acting as to the estate of a testate decedent that is

located in this state, may sell and convey the real and personal property by virtue

of the will as executors or administrators with the will annexed may do. (D) No person shall be appointed as an ancillary administrator of the estate of a nonresident

presumed decedent that is located in this state, except after Chapter 2121. of the

Revised Code, relative to the appointment of an ancillary administrator, has been

complied with.
