§ 1715.05. Disposition of unused real estate.
When the title to real estate is vested in trustees for the use of churches or congregations of churches, and owing to its peculiar situation or to the nature of the trust or conditions upon which it is held, such real estate for twenty years has not been claimed by or appropriated to the use of churches or congregations as originally contemplated and such trustees are in doubt as to what disposition to make of it, or when any public church site and meetinghouse has been abandoned by the public as a place of worship and the trustees invested with the title to such property have sold it and are in doubt as to what disposition to make of the proceeds, such trustees may file a petition in the court of common pleas of the county where the property is situated, setting forth all the facts in the case and asking such court's direction as to the proper disposition of such property or proceeds.
