1890, ch. 472, sec. 112 A.

125. Where a non-resident of this State has died, upon
whose personal estate no letters testamentary or of administra-
tion have been issued by any orphans' court or register of
wills of this State, but upon which estate such letters have
been issued by a court of probate or other proper authority in
some other State, territory or foreign country, it shall be suffi-
cient in any case in chancery in this State now pending or
hereafter to be instituted, in which said decedent or his execu-
tor or administrator was or would be a proper party defendant,
to make such foreign executor or administrator a party defend-
ant thereto, and the making of such foreign executor or
administrator a party defendant to such case shall give the
court the same jurisdiction over the personal estate of such
decedent as if an executor or administrator of such decedent
to whom letters testamentary or of administration had been
granted by an orphans' court or register of wills of this State
had been made such party defendant, and said foreign executor
or administrator may in any such case, if a non-resident of
this State, be proceeded against as provided for in cases of
other non-residents, or if within this State, by service of
summons upon him, or said foreign executor or administrator
may voluntarily appear to the action, or otherwise become or
be made a party defendant as in cases of other parties defend-
ant; provided, however, that if letters testamentary or of
administration of the estate of such decedent shall after the
making of such foreign executor or administrator a party
defendant be granted upon the estate of such decedent by
Any orphans' court or register of wills of this State, the execu-
tor or administrator so appointed may intervene in such chan-
cery case, if the same be still pending, and shall thereupon be
substituted as a party defendant in place of said foreign
executor or administrator, and shall thereafter represent the
personal estate of said decedent.
