524.3-409 FORMAL TESTACY PROCEEDINGS; ORDER; FOREIGN WILL.
After the time required for any notice has expired, upon proof of notice, and after any
hearing that may be necessary, if the court finds that the testator is dead, venue is proper and that
the proceeding was commenced within the limitation prescribed by section 524.3-108, it shall
determine the decedent's domicile at death, and decedent's heirs and state of testacy. Any will
found to be valid and unrevoked shall be formally probated. Termination of any previous informal
appointment of a personal representative, which may be appropriate in view of the relief requested
and findings, is governed by section 524.3-612. A will from a place which does not provide for
probate of a will after death, may be proved for probate in this state by a duly authenticated
certificate of its legal custodian that the copy introduced is a true copy and that the will has
become effective under the law of the other place.
