## Opinion text

Douglas, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part. I concur in the judgment of the majority to grant the writ but respectfully dissent from the majority’s decision to deny attorney fees. In depositing funds to cover the costs of this proceeding, relators have complied with R.C. 733.59 and should be awarded their reasonable attorney fees.
