VENUE FOR FIRST AND SUBSEQUENT ESTATE PROCEEDINGS -- LOCATION
OF PROPERTY. (a) Venue for the first informal or formal testacy or appointment
proceedings after a decedent's death is:
(1) in the county where the decedent had his domicile at the time of his
death; or
(2) if the decedent was not domiciled in this state, in any county where
property of the decedent was located at the time of his death.
(b) Venue for all subsequent proceedings within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the court is in the place where the initial proceedings
occurred, unless the initial proceeding has been transferred as provided in
section 15-1-303 of this code or subsection (c) of this section.
(c) If the first proceeding was informal, on application of an interested
person and after notice to the proponent in the first proceeding, the court,
upon finding that venue is elsewhere, may transfer the proceeding and the file
to the other court.
(d) For the purpose of aiding determinations concerning location of
assets which may be relevant in cases involving non-domiciliaries, a debt,
other than one evidenced by investment or commercial paper or other instrument
in favor of a non-domiciliary, is located where the debtor resides or, if the
debtor is a person other than an individual, at the place where it has its
principal office. Commercial paper, investment paper and other instruments are
located where the instrument is. An interest in property held in trust is
located where the trustee may be sued.
