Ohio § 2127.40
Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 2127.40, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2127.40.
When an action is brought by an executor or administrator to sell real property to
pay debts, the real property subject to sale shall include all rights and interests
in real property transferred by the decedent in the decedent's lifetime with intent
to defraud the decedent's creditors, except that real property fraudulently transferred
cannot be taken from any person who purchased them for a valuable consideration, in
good faith, and without knowledge of the fraud. No claim to that real property shall be made unless within four years next after
the decease of the grantor. If real property fraudulently transferred is to be included in that action, the executor
or administrator, either before or at the same time, may commence a civil action in
the court of common pleas in the county in which the real property is situated to
recover possession of it, or, in the action for its sale, the executor or administrator
may allege the fraud and have the fraudulent transfer avoided. But when the real property is included in the complaint before the recovery of possession
by the executor or administrator, the action shall be brought in the court of common
pleas in the county in which the real property is situated.
