524.3-815 ADMINISTRATION IN MORE THAN ONE STATE; DUTY OF PERSONAL
REPRESENTATIVE.
(a) All assets of estates being administered in this state are subject to all claims, allowances
and charges existing or established against the personal representative wherever appointed.
(b) If the estate either in this state or as a whole is insufficient to cover all family exemptions
and allowances determined by the law of the decedent's domicile, prior charges and claims, after
satisfaction of the exemptions, allowances and charges, each claimant whose claim has been
allowed either in this state or elsewhere in administrations of which the personal representative
is aware, is entitled to receive payment of an equal proportion of the claim. If a preference or
security in regard to a claim is allowed in another jurisdiction but not in this state, the creditor
so benefited is to receive dividends from local assets only upon the balance of the claim after
deducting the amount of the benefit.
(c) In case the family exemptions and allowances, prior charges and claims of the entire
estate exceed the total value of the portions of the estate being administered separately and this
state is not the state of the decedent's last domicile, the claims allowed in this state shall be paid
their proportion if local assets are adequate for the purpose, and the balance of local assets shall
be transferred to the domiciliary personal representative. If local assets are not sufficient to pay all
claims allowed in this state the amount to which they are entitled, local assets shall be marshalled
so that each claim allowed in this state is paid its proportion as far as possible, after taking into
account all dividends on claims allowed in this state from assets in other jurisdictions.
