Ancillary Administration or Probate: Since each state governs the transfer of real property within it's borders, an additional administration or probate proceeding is necessary to dispose of property owned by a decedent in a state other than the decedent's domicile. The proceedings in non domicile state are Ancillary Probate (where there is a Will) or an Ancillary Administration (when there is no Will). See S.C.P.A. § 1604, S.C.P.A § 1607, Tax Law § 971-a.
