81. All deeds of conveyance heretofore or hereafter duly exe-
cuted, acknowledged and recorded according to law, among the
land records in any county in this State, by executors of
the last will and testament, executed with the formalities required
for the passing of real estate by the laws of this State, and proved
according to law, of any non-resident testator, conveying lands lying in
said county, shall he as valid and effectual in law and equity as if made
by executors under last will and testament, duly executed, proved and
recorded in the office of the register of wills in this State, for lands,
lying therein, and whose sales of real estate under the authority of said
will were duly made and reported to and ratified by an orphans' court
in this State; provided, that an authenticated copy of the said last will
and testament shall have been filed and recorded in the office of the
register of wills of the county where the lands lie; and provided further,
that full authority was given by the said last will and testament to the
executors to sell and convey the said real estate.

The executor of a non-resident testator is not required to report sales of

land to the orphans' court of the county where the land is located. Smith v.

Montgomery, 75 Md. 139 (explaining Norment v. Brydon, 44 Md. 112).

The essentials of the jurisdiction of the orphans' court over the sale of

land under this section owned by a non-resident testator, set out, and held

not to have been complied with, Norment v. Brydon, 44 Md. 115. And see

Smith v. Montgomery, 75 Md. 139.

This section held to have no application to the question of the validity

in Maryland of a will executed in a foreign country according to the laws of

that country. Lindsay v. Wilson, 103 Md. 268.
See art 93, sections 290 and 354.
