Authenticated copies of wills, executed and proved according to the laws of any state or territory of the United States, relative to property in this state, may be admitted to record in the probate court of a county where a part of such property is situated. Such authenticated copies, so recorded, shall be as valid as wills made in this state.

When such a will, or authenticated copy, is admitted to record, a copy thereof, with the copy of the order to record it annexed thereto, certified by the probate judge under the seal of his court, may be filed and recorded in the office of the probate judge of any other county where a part of such property is situated, and it shall be as effectual as the authenticated copy of such will would be if approved and admitted to record by the court.
