FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVES - JUDGMENTS AND PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES
30.1-25-01. (4-301) Jurisdiction by act of foreign personal representative.
A foreign personal representative submits personally to the jurisdiction of the courts of this
state in any proceeding relating to the estate by:
1. Filing authenticated copies of the foreign personal representative's appointment as
provided in section 30.1-24-05;
2. Receiving payment of money or taking delivery of personal property under section
30.1-24-02; or
3. Doing any act as a personal representative in this state which would have given the
state jurisdiction over the foreign personal representative as an individual.
Jurisdiction under subsection 2 is limited to the money or value of personal property collected.
30.1-25-02. (4-302) Jurisdiction by act of decedent.
In addition to jurisdiction conferred by section 30.1-25-01, a foreign personal representative
is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state to the same extent that the decedent was
subject to jurisdiction immediately prior to death.
30.1-25-03. (4-303) Service on foreign personal representative.
1. Service of process may be made upon the foreign personal representative by certified
mail, addressed to the foreign personal representative's last reasonably ascertainable
address, requesting a return receipt signed by the addressee only. Notice by ordinary
first-class mail is sufficient if certified mail service to the addressee is unavailable.
Service may be made upon a foreign personal representative in the manner in which
service could have been made under other laws of this state on either the foreign
personal representative or the decedent immediately prior to death.
2. If service is made upon a foreign personal representative as provided in subsection 1,
the foreign personal representative shall be allowed at least thirty days within which to
appear or respond.
30.1-25-04. (4-401) Effect of adjudication for or against personal representative.
An adjudication rendered in any jurisdiction in favor of or against any personal
representative of the estate is as binding on the local personal representative as if the local
personal representative were a party to the adjudication.
