When the taxing official of this state and the taxing official of one or more other states each claims that the state of the official respectively was the domicile of the decedent for the purpose of death taxes, at any time prior to the commencement within this state of suit or action for determination of the decedent’s domicile for death tax purposes, or within 60 days thereafter, the executor or the taxing official of any such state may elect to invoke the provisions of ORS 118.855 to 118.880. Such executor or taxing official shall send a notice of such election by registered or certified mail, receipt requested, to the taxing official of each such state and to each executor, ancillary administrator, and interested person. Within 40 days after the receipt of such notice of election the executor may reject such election by sending a notice of rejection by registered or certified mail, receipt requested, to all persons to whom the notice of election is required to be sent. When an election has been rejected by the executor no further proceedings shall be had under ORS 118.855 to 118.880. If such election is not rejected within the 40-day period, the dispute in respect of the domicile of the decedent for death tax purposes shall be settled solely as provided in ORS 118.865 to 118.880 and no other or additional proceedings to determine or redetermine the domicile of the decedent for death tax purposes shall thereafter be instituted in any court of this state or otherwise.
