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.
