Ohio Code § 5811.03

§ 5811.03.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code, all

of the following apply: (1) Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code apply to all trusts created before, on,

or after their effective date. (2) Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code apply to all judicial proceedings concerning

trusts commenced on or after their effective date. (3) Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code apply to judicial proceedings concerning

trusts commenced before the effective date of those chapters unless the court finds

that application of a particular provision of those chapters would substantially interfere

with the effective conduct of the judicial proceedings or prejudice the rights of

the parties, in which case the particular provision does not apply, and the superseded

law applies. (4) Any rule of construction or presumption provided in Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the

Revised Code applies to trust instruments executed before the effective date of those

chapters unless there is a clear indication of a contrary intent in the terms of the

trust. (5) Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code do not affect an act done before the

effective date of those chapters. (B) If a right is acquired, extinguished, or barred upon the expiration of a prescribed

period that has commenced to run under any other statute before the effective date

of Chapters 5801. to 5811. of the Revised Code, that statute continues to apply to

the right even if it has been repealed or superseded.
