A. A fiduciary or any other person required to pay the tax due who is domiciled or residing in a jurisdiction other than Louisiana, has a right of action for the proportionate amount (1) of the federal estate tax, (2) of an estate tax payable to another state, or (3) of a death duty due by the estate of a person deceased to another state, against any person interested in the estate domiciled or residing in Louisiana or who owns property in Louisiana subject to attachment or execution. This action shall be brought as an ordinary proceeding in the domicile of the defendant or, if not domiciled or residing in Louisiana, in the court of the parish where the property of the defendant is situated.
