53-6-124. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Conveyance of property by foreign executor or administrator; filing and recordation of copies of letters; notice; bond; distribution of proceeds


Any executor or administrator who resides in any other state of the United States is authorized to sell and convey any property of his testator or intestate, lying or being in this state, under the same rules, laws, and regulations as are prescribed for the sale and conveyance of real estate by executors and administrators who are residents of this state; provided, however, that the foreign executor or administrator shall file and have recorded in the office of the judge of the probate court, at the time of making his application for sale, a properly authenticated certified copy of his letters testamentary or of administration. The foreign executor or administrator shall give the notice required by law of a resident executor or administrator to creditors; file, with the judge of the probate court, bond with good and sufficient security, in double the value of the property to be sold, conditioned to pay any creditor in this state; and distribute the proceeds of the sale to any resident heirs or legatees who have an interest, according to law.
