Ancillary administrator refers to which of the following?

• A. Ancillary executor
• B. Ancillary administrator
• C. General administrator
• D. Successor fiduciary

Answer: (B)

Ancillary administration means a secondary probate proceeding to handle assets that lie outside the main jurisdiction of the estate. The person appointed for this job is the ancillary administrator. Their authority is limited to those out-of-state (or otherwise separate) assets and they work under the supervision of the primary fiduciary who handles the rest of the estate. This setup keeps assets located in different jurisdictions coordinated and avoids conflicting probate actions.
