14-4206. Power of representatives in
transition
The power of a domiciliary foreign personal representative under section 14-4201 or
section 14-4205 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 14-4205, 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.
