Title 29. Probate
Article 2. Miscellaneous Provisions
Chapter 1. Jurisdiction in Probate Matters and Probate of Foreign Wills
29-2-1-7. Domiciliary foreign personal representative; limitation of powers by local personal representative
Sec. 7. The powers of a domiciliary foreign personal representative under section 2 or 6 of this chapter shall be exercised only if there is no administration or application therefor pending in this state. An application or petition for local administration of the estate terminates the power of the foreign personal representative to act under section 6 of this chapter, but the local court may allow the foreign personal representative to exercise limited powers to preserve the estate. No person who, before receiving actual notice of a pending local administration, has changed his position in reliance upon the powers of a foreign personal representative shall be prejudiced by reason of the application or petition for, or grant of, local administration. The local personal representative is subject to all duties and obligations which have accrued by virtue of the exercise of the powers by the foreign personal representative and may be substituted for him in any action or proceedings in the state.
