1. All assets of estates being administered in this state are subject to all claims,
allowances, and charges existing or established against the personal representative
wherever appointed.
2. If the estate, either in this state or as a whole, is insufficient to cover all family
exemptions and allowances determined by the law of the decedent's domicile, prior
charges, and claims, after satisfaction of the exemptions, allowances, and charges,
each claimant whose claim has been allowed either in this state or elsewhere in
administrations of which the personal representative is aware, is entitled to receive
payment of an equal proportion of the claimant's claim. If a preference or security in
regard to a claim is allowed in another jurisdiction but not in this state, the creditor so
benefited is to receive dividends from local assets only upon the balance of the
creditor's claim after deducting the amount of the benefit.
3. In case the family exemptions and allowances, prior charges, and claims of the entire
estate exceed the total value of the portions of the estate being administered
separately, and this state is not the state of the decedent's last domicile, the claims
allowed in this state shall be paid their proportion if local assets are adequate for the
purpose, and the balance of local assets shall be transferred to the domiciliary
personal representative. If local assets are not sufficient to pay all claims allowed in
this state the amount to which they are entitled, local assets shall be marshalled so
that each claim allowed in this state is paid its proportion as far as possible, after
taking into account all dividends on claims allowed in this state from assets in other
jurisdictions.
