§ 112. Wills made out of state
(a) A last will and testament executed outside this State in the mode prescribed by the
law, either of the place where executed or of the testator’s domicile, shall be deemed
to be legally executed and shall be of the same force and effect as if executed in
the mode prescribed by the laws of this State, provided that the last will and testament
is in writing and subscribed by the testator.
(b) When a will is allowed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the Probate Division
of the Superior Court shall grant letters testamentary or letters of administration
with the will annexed, and the letters shall extend to all the estate of the testator
in this State. After the payment of enforceable debts and expenses of administration,
the estate shall be disposed of according to the will so far as the will may operate
upon it, and the residue shall be disposed of as is provided in case of estates in
this State belonging to persons who are residents of another state or country. (Amended 2017, No. 195 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
