§ 2111.21.
The guardian of a ward who has or is claimed to have a right of dower, or a contingent
right to it, in real property of which the spouse of the ward was or is seized as
an estate of inheritance, if the dower has not been assigned, may sell, compromise,
or adjust the dower or may release the contingent right of dower in the event the
spouse of the ward desires to mortgage the property upon the terms that the guardian
considers for the interest of the ward and upon the terms that the probate court of
the county in which the guardian was appointed approves, or if the guardian was appointed
to a foreign state, upon the terms that the probate court of the county in which the
real property is situated approves. After the approval, the guardian may execute and deliver all the necessary deeds,
mortgages, releases, and agreements for the sale, compromise, assignment, or mortgage
of the dower or contingent right to dower. As a basis for computing the value of an inchoate dower right in any sale, compromise,
or adjustment pursuant to this section, the value of the real property may be considered
to be the sale price or, if there is no sale, the appraised value. The sale, compromise, adjustment, or mortgage may be made upon application and entry
in the pending proceedings.
