When a savings account is held in any association or federal savings and loan association by a nonresident, the account, together with additions thereto and earnings thereon, or any part thereof, may be paid to the administrator or executor appointed in the state or county where the account holder resided at the time of death, provided such administrator or executor has furnished the association with:

(1) Authenticated copies of his letters and of the order of the court which issued the letters to him authorizing him to collect, receive, and remove the personal estate, and
(2) An affidavit by the administrator or executor that to his knowledge no letters then are outstanding in this state and no petition for letters by an heir, legatee, devisee or creditor of the decedent is pending on the estate in this state, and that there are no creditors of the estate in this state.
