Syllabus

Judgment reversed. A probate court's finding of incompetency does not conclusively establish that the incompetent individual was of unsound mind for purposes of R.C. 2305.16. Viewing the summary judgment evidence in a light most favorable to the non-moving party, there were genuine issues of material fact regarding whether the injured party had continually been of unsound mind since the claims accrued. Therefore, because R.C. 2305.16 potentially tolled the applicable statutes of limitations and repose, the trial court erred by granting appellees' motions for summary judgment.
