§ 2113.48.
When a person who has entered into a written contract for the sale and conveyance
of an interest in real property dies before its completion, the executor or administrator
of the decedent's estate, if not required to otherwise dispose of the contract, may,
with the consent of the purchaser, obtain authority to complete the contract by filing
an application for that authority in the probate court of the county in which the
executor or administrator was appointed. Notice of the time of hearing on the application shall be given to the surviving
spouse and heirs, if the decedent died intestate, and to the surviving spouse and
devisees or legatees having an interest in the contract, if the decedent died testate. If the court is satisfied that it would be for the best interests of the estate,
it may authorize the executor or administrator to complete the contract and to execute
and deliver to the purchaser the instruments that are required to make the order of
the court effective.
