The naming of a person as executor in a will shall not operate as a discharge or bequest of a just claim that the testator had against that executor. The claim shall be included among the assets of the deceased in the inventory required by section 2115.02 of the Revised Code. The executor shall be liable for it as for so much money in the possession or under the control of the executor at the time that debt or demand becomes due and shall apply and distribute it as part of the personal property of the deceased.
