Black's Law Dictionary
When a decedent leaves property in a foreign state, (a state other than that of his domicile.) administration may be granted in such foreign state for the purpose of collecting the assets and paying the debts there, and bringing the residue into the general administration. This is called "ancillary" (auxiliary, subordinate) administration.
