If the order of sale set forth in section 2127.29 of the Revised Code includes real property in which the ward or the estate has an equitable interest only, the court may make an order for the appraisement and sale of that equitable estate free from dower, for the indemnity of the estate against any claim for purchase money, and for payment of the value of the dower in money, as the court considers equitable, having regard for the rights of all parties in interest.

Terms Used In Ohio Code 2127.30

  • Dower: A widow
  • 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
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
