Ohio Code 2127.07 – Real property subject to sale
Any interest in real property, whether legal or equitable, that the deceased had a right to sell or dispose of at the time of the deceased’s death, or of which the ward was seized at the time the action was brought, including coal, iron ore, limestone, fireclay, or other mineral upon or under the real property, or the right to mine them, may be sold by an executor, administrator, or guardian under sections 2127.01 to 2127.43 of the Revised Code. This section does not give an executor or administrator with the will annexed authority to sell real property for the payment of legacies, other than as charged by the testator or by operation of law. This section does not give a guardian authority to sell an equitable estate in real property placed by deed of trust, beyond the power of the ward to sell, convey, or assign.
Terms Used In Ohio Code 2127.07
- Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
