Section 1111.23 | Requirements for oaths, affidavits and signatures.

 

(A)(1) Whenever an executor, administrator, guardian, or conservator of estates, assignee, receiver, depositary, safekeeping agent, or trustee is required to take and subscribe an oath or to make an affidavit, a trust company acting in that capacity may satisfy the requirement through the oath or affidavit of any authorized officer.

(2) A trust company that takes and subscribes an oath or makes an affidavit is liable for its failure to perform any of the duties required by law to be performed by an individual acting in like capacity, and is subject to the same penalties for the failure as would be applicable to an individual.
