2111.17 Suits by guardians.

A guardian may sue in his own name, describing himself as guardian of the ward for whom he sues. When his guardianship ceases, actions or proceedings then pending shall not abate, if the right survives. His successor as guardian, the executor or administrator of the ward, or the ward himself, if the guardianship has terminated other than by the ward’s death, shall be made party to the suit or other proceeding as the case requires, in the same manner as executor or administrator is made a party to a similar suit or proceeding where the plaintiff dies during its pendency.
