§ 29-2-1-7 — Domiciliary foreign personal representative; limitation of powers by local personal representative

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.
