(A)  Sections 2105.31 to 2105.39 of the Revised Code do not impair any act done in any proceeding, or any right that accrued, before May 16, 2002. If a right is acquired, extinguished, or barred upon the expiration of a prescribed period of time that has commenced to run prior to May 16, 2002, under any provision of the Revised Code, the provision of the applicable section of the Revised Code applies with respect to that right. 

(B)  Any rule of construction or presumption that is provided in sections 2105.31 to 2105.39 of the Revised Code applies to any governing instrument that is executed, or any multiple-party account that is opened, prior to May 16, 2002, unless there is a clear indication of a contrary intent in the governing instrument or multiple-party account. 

(C)  If any provision of sections 2105.31 to 2105.39 of the Revised Code or the application of those sections to any persons or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of sections 2105.31 to 2105.39 of the Revised Code that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
