Section 4-301
A foreign personal representative submits personally to the jurisdiction of the courts of the commonwealth by (1) filing authenticated copies of his appointment as provided in section 4-204, (2) receiving payment of money or taking delivery of personal property under section 4-201, or (3) doing any act as a personal representative in the commonwealth which would have given the commonwealth jurisdiction over the foreign personal representative as an individual. Jurisdiction under (2) is limited to the money or value of personal property collected.
A foreign guardian or conservator shall submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the commonwealth by acting under clauses (2) and (3) of the preceding paragraph.
Comment
The words "Courts of the commonwealth" are sufficient under federal legislation to include a federal court having jurisdiction in the commonwealth.
A foreign personal representative appointed at the decedent's domicile has priority for appointment in any local administration proceeding. See Section 3-203(g). Once appointed, a local personal representative remains subject to the jurisdiction of the appointing court under Section 3-602.
