within the jurisdiction of the court and such beneficiary is a

non-domiciliary infant, incompetent, conservatee or decedent, payment

or delivery thereof may be directed by the court to the fiduciary,

committee or conservator, by whatever title such foreign fiduciary may

be designated, of the property or estate of the non-domiciliary infant,

incompetent, conservatee or decedent, upon proof satisfactory to the

court that the foreign fiduciary is entitled to receive such money or

known creditors within this state.
