§ 1606. Proof of will by probate in non-domiciliary jurisdiction

In the case of original probate of the will of a non-domiciliary

testator an authenticated copy of the will and of its probate or

establishment in the jurisdiction in which the will was executed shall

be sufficient proof of its contents and of compliance with the law of

the place of execution, if no objection is made thereto. If objection

to the probate of such a will is filed this section shall not relieve

proponent from offering competent proof of the contents and legal

sufficiency of the will except that the original will need not be

produced unless directed by a court.
