Ohio Code § 5810.13

§ 5810.13.

(A) Instead of furnishing a copy of the trust instrument to a person other than a beneficiary,

the trustee may furnish to the person a certification of trust containing all of the

following information: (1) A statement that the trust exists and the date the trust instrument was executed; (2) The identity of the settlor; (3) The identity and address of the currently acting trustee; (4) The powers of the trustee; (5) The revocability or irrevocability of the trust and the identity of any person holding

a power to revoke the trust; (6) The authority of cotrustees to sign or otherwise authenticate and whether all or

less than all are required in order to exercise powers of the trustee. (B) Any trustee may sign or otherwise authenticate a certification of trust. (C) A certification of trust shall state that the trust has not been revoked, modified,

or amended in any manner that would cause the representations contained in the certification

of trust to be incorrect. (D) A certification of trust is not required to contain the dispositive terms of a trust. (E) A certification of trust may establish the identity of the trustee and any succession

of trustees under division (B) or (C) of section 5810.14 of the Revised Code . (F) A recipient of a certification of trust may require the trustee to furnish copies

of those excerpts from the original trust instrument and later amendments that designate

the trustee and confer upon the trustee the power to act in the pending transaction. (G) A person who acts in reliance upon a certification of trust without knowledge that

the representations contained in the certification are incorrect is not liable to

any person for so acting and may assume without inquiry the existence of the facts

contained in the certification.  Knowledge of the terms of the trust may not be inferred solely from the fact that

a copy of all or part of the trust instrument is held by the person relying upon the

certification. (H) A person who in good faith enters into a transaction in reliance upon a certification

of trust may enforce the transaction against the trust property as if the representations

contained in the certification were correct. (I) This section does not affect the use or validity of a memorandum of trust under section 5301.255 of the Revised Code . (J) This section does not limit the right of a person to obtain a copy of the trust instrument

in a judicial proceeding concerning the trust.
