I believe the statute refers to publishing in the jurisdiction where you reside- you reside where you reside, not necessarily where you own land. </p>

My concern is: how many probates does it take to cut off creditor’s claims, just because the assets may be in different jurisdictions? Seems to me that one probate, with proper compliance with Notice to creditors should be sufficient to cut off claims of general unsecured creditors from anywhere. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May be I am being too logical about this.</span></p>
