Ancillary Probate of Out-of-State Decedent
Probate of an estate in a state other than where the decedent lived.
Estate attorney + local counsel in each ancillary state. The work gets pulled when decedent owned minerals in a state they didn't live in.
Ancillary filings are the #1 missed source of fractional interests. They're where landmen find owners no one else has.
Workflow
- Original probate opens in the decedent's home state
- Ancillary action opens in each state where the decedent owned property
- Will is admitted in each; deeds or muniment orders record in each
Also called: ancillary probate · out of state probate · foreign will · ancillary administration
