§560:4-206  Power of representatives
in transition.  The power of a domiciliary foreign personal representative
under section 560:4-201 or 560:4-205 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 560:4-205, 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 the person's 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 that person in any action or
proceedings in this State. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
