Ohio Revised Code Title XXI. Courts Probate Juvenile § 2113.40

(A) At any time after the appointment of an executor or administrator, the probate court, if satisfied that it would be for the best interests of the estate, may authorize the executor or administrator to sell at public or private sale, at a fixed price or for the best price obtainable, and for cash or on the terms that the court may determine, any part or all of the personal property belonging to the estate, except the following:

(B) In case of a sale before expiration of the time within which the surviving spouse may elect to take at the appraised value, not less than ten days' notice of the sale shall be given to the surviving spouse, unless the surviving spouse consents to the sale or waives notice of the sale. The notice shall not be required as to perishable property.

(C) The court may permit the itemized list of personal property being sold to be incorporated in documents and records relating to the sale, by reference to other documents and records that have been filed in the court, provided that a court order shall not be required to permit the public sale of personal property.
