Regardless of the date of the person's death and any limitation on the time for admitting a will for probate, any will when duly proven, whether of a resident or nonresident decedent, may be admitted to probate for the limited purpose of establishing a muniment of title to real estate and personal property, without the necessity of granting letters testamentary or otherwise proceeding with administration.
