   In any case in which this state and 1 or more other states each claims that it was the domicile of a decedent at his death, at any time prior to the commencement of legal action for determination of domicile within this state or within 60 days thereafter, any executor, or the taxing official of any such state, may elect to invoke the provisions of this act. Such executor or taxing official shall send a notice of such election by registered mail, receipt requested, to the taxing official of each such state and to each executor, ancillary administrator, and interested person.

No other proceedings to determine or assess such death taxes shall thereafter be instituted in any court of this state or otherwise.
