2109.48 Amount of loan.

OHIO STATUTES AND CODES

If on the final hearing of a fiduciary’s petition to borrow money and mortgage real estate belonging to the trust it appears to be for the best interests of the trust that the prayer of the petition be granted, the probate court shall fix the amount necessary to be borrowed, direct what lands shall be encumbered by mortgage to secure such amount, and issue an order to such fiduciary directing him to ascertain and report to the court the rate of interest and the length of time for which he can borrow such amount.

If such report and the terms proposed are satisfactory to the court, they may be accepted and confirmed and the fiduciary ordered, as fiduciary, to execute a note for such amount and a mortgage on the lands so designated, which shall be a valid lien thereon. The fiduciary in no way shall be personally liable for the payment of any part of the sum borrowed, but such mortgaged lands alone shall be bound therefor. Such court shall direct the distribution of the fund and the fiduciary shall report to the court, for its approval, the execution of such notes and mortgage and his distribution of the fund.
