§ 15-13-206 — Power of representatives in transition

The power of a
domiciliary foreign personal representative under section 15-13-201 or 15-13-205
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
15-13-205, 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 this state.
