Does the estate need to be opened in the state where the person died?

Not where the person physically died, but in the state in which the decedent was domiciled at his/her death. Example: Decedent was domiciled in New Jersey but died at his summer residence in Florida. The original probate should be in New Jersey. If that residence has to be sold by a duly appointed executor in Florida, ancillary probate is issued. This entails getting a certified or authenticated copy of the will that was probated in New Jersey and offering it for probate in Florida with a request that the New Jersey executor be appointed executor in Florida in order to selll the Florida property.
