2113.16 Powers of special administrator to cease.

Upon granting of letters testamentary or of administration, the power of a special administrator appointed under section 2113.15 of the Revised Code shall cease and he forthwith must deliver to the executor or administrator all the chattels and moneys of the deceased in his hands. The executor or administrator may be admitted to prosecute any suit begun by the special administrator, as an administrator de bonis non is authorized to prosecute a suit commenced by a former executor or administrator.

If such special administrator neglects or refuses to deliver over the property and estate to the executor or administrator, the probate court may compel him to do so by citation and attachment. The executor or administrator also may proceed, by civil action, to recover the value of the assets from such special administrator and his sureties.
