There have been some decisions to the contrary, but generally it seems that a payment of a debt to a foreign domiciliary executor or administrator discharges the obligation where at the time there was no representative in the state of the domicil of the debtor... On the other hand, payment of a debt to a foreign executor or administrator does not operate as a discharge where there is at the time a local executor or administrator, unless, perhaps, the person paying did not have actual notice of the appointment of a local representative.("American Jurisprudence", 2nd ed., v. 31, 1967, p. 287) 1, record 1, English, - local%20executor

Actual notice has been defined as notice expressly and actually given, and brought home to the party directly. The term "actual notice", however, is generally given a wider meaning as embracing two classes, express and implied; the former includes all knowledge of a degree above that which depends upon collateral inference, or which imposes upon the party the further duty of inquiry; the latter imputes knowledge to the party because he is shown to be conscious of having the means of knowledge. In this sense actual notice is such notice as is positively proved to have been given to a party directly and personally, or such as he is presumed to have received personally because the evidence within his knowledge was sufficient to put him upon inquiry.(Black, 6th ed., 1990, pp. 1061-1062). 1, record 2, English, - actual%20notice
