Proceedings commenced in more than one county.
(1) If proceedings seeking the
appointment of a personal representative of the same estate or proceedings to
probate a will of the same decedent are commenced in more than one county, they
shall be stayed except in the county where first commenced until final
determination there of venue. A proceeding is considered commenced by the

of the estate, it may in its discretion order such transfer.
(2) When the
court enters an order transferring the proceeding to another county, the clerk
of the court shall notify the court for the other county of the order, and the
court for the other county has exclusive jurisdiction of the proceeding to the
same extent and with like effect as though the proceeding were in the court on
original jurisdiction. [1969 c.591 §82; 2017 c.252 §12]
