Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 2117.28, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2117.28.
Debts not due may, and on demand of the creditor shall, if assets are available therefor,
be paid by the executor or administrator according to the class to which they belong. If the debt does not bear interest before maturity, it shall be discounted at the
legal rate of interest; otherwise the stipulated rate of interest shall be paid to
time of payment. If a creditor whose claim is not due refuses to accept payment as provided in this
section, the executor or administrator shall set aside assets to satisfy such claim. The sufficiency of such assets and the manner and place of holding and preserving
the same shall be first approved by the probate judge after notice to the creditor,
and if such assets thereafter become insufficient to pay such claim in full because
of depreciation or loss without fault of the executor or administrator, neither the
executor nor administrator nor the remaining assets of the estate shall be liable
to such creditor by reason thereof. After setting aside such assets, the executor or administrator may proceed to make
payment and distribution of the remaining assets of the estate and to settle the same
without recourse by such creditor to the assets so distributed.
