§ 5301.16.
When the purchaser of land from the state dies before a deed is made, and the lands
pass to another by descent or devise, and the title still remains in him, or when
the person to whom the lands have so passed has conveyed them or his interest therein
to another person, by deed of general warranty or quitclaim, upon the proof of such
facts being made to him and the attorney general, the governor shall execute the deed
directly to the person entitled to the lands, although such person derives his title
through one or more successive conveyances from the person to whom the lands passed
by descent or devise.
