If the personal representative of the estate of a nonresident is a corporation duly authorized, qualified, and acting as a personal representative in the jurisdiction of the domicile of the decedent, the corporation has the same powers and duties concerning notices and the filing of returns required by this act and may bring and defend actions as authorized or permitted by this act to the same extent as an individual personal representative. However, nothing in this act shall be taken or construed as authorizing a corporation not authorized to do business in this state to qualify or act as a personal representative, an administrator, or in any other fiduciary capacity, if otherwise prohibited by the laws of this state, except to the extent expressly provided in this act.
