Ala. Code § 43-8-175
When the testator was not, at the time of his or her death, an inhabitant of this state, but was an inhabitant of some other state or territory of the United States of America, or of some other territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, and his or her will has been duly proved in any other state of the United States of America, or in any territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, it may be admitted to probate in the proper court of this state in the manner following: If the will has been admitted to probate out of the state of Alabama, but within another state of the United States of America, or within any territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, such will, or copy of the same, and the probate thereof must be certified and authenticated as provided in 28 U.S.C.A., §1738. Upon the presentation to the probate judge of any such will, already admitted to probate out of the state of Alabama, but in another state of the United States of America, or in any territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, authenticated as herein provided for, he shall, without notice or further proceedings, enter a decree admitting said will to probate, and shall record the same, together with a certificate of probate, in a record kept for that purpose. If the will has been admitted to probate elsewhere than in some other state of the United States of America, or some territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, if such will purports or undertakes to dispose of, or if it has the effect of disposing of, any land or real estate situated within the state of Alabama, such will, in order to be valid to that end, shall be probated in all respects, including notice to the next of kin of the testator or testatrix, as wills are required to be probated in the courts of the state of Alabama, upon original proceedings to probate wills in this state, and shall be subject to be contested and controverted in the same manner as wills are subject to be contested and controverted when offered or propounded for original probate and record in the courts of this state. If the will has been admitted to probate elsewhere than in some other state of the United States of America, or some territory, district or country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, if such will purports or undertakes to dispose of, or if it has the effect of disposing of, any personal property situated within the state of Alabama, such will, in order to be valid to that end, shall be probated in all respects, including notice to the next of kin of the testator or testatrix, as wills are required to be probated in the courts of the state of Alabama, upon original proceedings to probate wills in this state, and shall be subject to be contested and controverted when offered or propounded for original probate and record in the courts of this state.
