Instead of the sureties required on a  guardian's bond by section2109.04of the Revised Code, a guardian  of the person and estate or of the estate only of any ward may  execute to the ward a mortgage upon unencumbered real property.  The guardian first shall furnish to the probate court a title  guarantee or a mortgagee's title insurance policy for the benefit  of the guardianship, with respect to the real property, and it  shall be shown to the court's satisfaction that, exclusive of  improvements on the real property, the real property is of a value  sufficient to secure the bond. The mortgage shall be recorded in  the county in which the property is situated and filed with the  court.
