trustee is not required in order for the trustee to receive distribution from a local estate or to hold,
invest in, manage, or acquire property located in this state, or maintain litigation if the state of the
principal place of business of the foreign corporate trustee provides substantially similar
provisions applicable to trustees from this state.
(4) Local qualification by a foreign trustee other than a corporation is not required in
order for the trustee to receive distribution from a local estate or to hold, invest in, manage, or
