It discusses key ancillary estate proceedings, including probate of a foreign will and interstate estate administration for nonresident decedents. It also examines the critical distinction in how Kentucky law governs the disposition of real property versus personal property, the process for handling creditor claims, and the administration and settlement of the ancillary estate to ensure the proper transfer of assets.
