Title 53, Chapter 5, Section 41
( 53-5-41)
An ancillary personal representative shall be subject to the laws of
this state governing the administration of estates generally, except
that by order of the probate court granted after notice to the
persons known to have an interest in or claim against the estate in
this state as an unsatisfied heir, beneficiary, or creditor residing
in this state, the personal representative may be directed to: (1) Pay only those debts determined by the probate court to
constitute administrative expenses or other debts incurred by the
personal representative and debts payable to creditors residing or
situated in this state; (2) Make distribution to any heirs or beneficiaries residing or
situated in this state to the extent that the probate court
determines to be practicable and not to the detriment of a
testamentary scheme; and (3) If the provisions of paragraph (1) or (2) of this Code section
or both paragraphs apply to the estate, distribute all property
remaining in the hands of the ancillary personal representative to
the personal representative qualified in the domiciliary
jurisdiction rather than to the distributees of the estate. |
