thousand dollars ($400,000.00), which estate is being duly
probated and settled in another state, the Wyoming district
judge may enter an order for the sale of the property located in
this state provided:
(i) The petitioner files with the district judge in
the proper county a petition under oath showing the facts in the

appointment of executor or administrator, notice to creditors
showing that the time for filing claims has expired, and
inventory of the Wyoming estate;
(ii) The petitioner files a certified copy of an
order authorizing sale or other disposition of Wyoming property
issued by the court having jurisdiction over the estate being
probated in another state;
(iii) The district judge gives notice by publication
for three (3) weeks of the intention of the petitioner to have
the property located in this state subject to sale or other
disposition; and
(iv) If on the day set for hearing the petition no
objection is made, the judge shall make an order admitting the
certified copies of the proceedings in the estate and the order
authorizing sale or other disposition of Wyoming property to
record in his court and they shall be considered and treated
from that time as original proceedings in his court and shall be
