Section 2113.81 | Holding money and property in trust for safe keeping for nonresidents of United States.
If it appears that a legatee or a distributee, or a beneficiary of a trust not residing within the United States or its territories will not have the benefit, use, or control of the money or other property due the legatee or distributee from the estate or due the beneficiary from the trust, because of circumstances prevailing at the place of residence of the legatee or distributee, or the beneficiary of the trust, the probate court may direct that the money be paid into the county treasury to be held in trust or the probate court may direct that the money or other property be delivered to a trustee. The trustee shall have the same powers and duties provided in section 2119.03 of the Revised Code for that legatee, distributee, beneficiary of the trust, or the persons who may thereafter be entitled to the money or other property. The money or other property held in trust by the county treasurer or trustee shall be paid out by order of the probate judge in accordance with section 2113.82 of the Revised Code.
The county treasury shall not be liable for interest on the money held in trust.
