(1) In the absence of administration in this state upon the estate of a nonresident, the Department of Revenue, at the request of a personal representative duly appointed <br>and qualified in the state of the decedent's domicile, or of a grantee under a <br>conveyance made during the grantor's lifetime, and upon satisfactory evidence <br>furnished by the personal representative or grantee, or otherwise, may determine <br>whether or not any property of the decedent within this state is subject to the <br>provisions of this chapter.
