2006 New York Code - Original Probate

 
  § 1605.  Original probate
    1.    A  will of a non-domiciliary which upon probate may operate upon
  any property in this state and is deemed by the laws of  this  state  to
  have been validly executed for probate in this state, may be admitted to
  probate  in the same manner as any other will may be admitted to probate
  under this act, except as herein otherwise prescribed.
    2.  A will which has been admitted to probate or  established  in  the
  testator's domicile shall not thereafter be admitted to original probate
  in this state except
    (a)    in  a  case where the court is satisfied that ancillary probate
  would  be  unduly  expensive,  inconvenient  or  impossible  under   the
  circumstances,
    (b)    where  the  testator has directed in such will that it shall be
  offered for probate in this state or
    (c)   where the  laws  of  testator's  domicile  discriminate  against
  domiciliaries of New York either as a beneficiary or a fiduciary.
    3.    A  will  which by judgment or decree of a competent court in the
  testator's domicile has been denied probate or establishment  shall  not
  be  admitted to probate in this state except where the denial of probate
  or establishment is solely for a cause which is not ground for rejection
  of a will of a domiciliary testator.
