§ 2109.03.

At the time of the appointment of a fiduciary, the fiduciary shall file in the probate

court the name of the attorney, if any, who will represent the fiduciary in matters

relating to the trust.  After the name of an attorney has been filed, notices sent to that fiduciary in

the fiduciary's official capacity shall also be sent by the court to that attorney

who may sign waiver of service of any or all of the notices upon the attorney.  If the fiduciary is absent from the state, the attorney shall be the agent of the

fiduciary upon whom summonses, citations, and notices may be served.  Any summons, citation, or notice may be served upon the fiduciary by delivering

duplicate copies of the summons, citation, or notice to the attorney designated by

the fiduciary.  No probate judge shall permit any person to practice law in the probate court for

in any estate, matter, action, or proceeding.
