Surrogate's Court Procedure Act (SCP) CHAPTER 59-A, ARTICLE 25
§ 2505. Transmission of wills of non-domiciliaries and domiciliaries of

another county before probate

Whenever it appears that an instrument purporting to be a will is on
file or is in safekeeping and no proceeding for the probate thereof is
pending and that the maker of such instrument at the time of his death
was domiciled elsewhere, either within or without the state, the court,
upon such notice as it may think proper, may cause the instrument to be
sent to any court or officer of this state or other jurisdiction of
decedent's domicile entitled under the laws thereof to receive it or to
any person in this or any other jurisdiction interested in the probate
of the instrument. The instrument may also be sent to any court or
officer in this state or other jurisdiction in which the maker left real
or personal property. Delivery is to be made in such manner and upon
such terms as the court deems proper for the preservation of the
instrument and for the protection of parties interested in the estate of
the maker thereof.
