Chose in Action—Situs—A chose in action has no definite situs, but must follow the person of its owner.

Id.—Debt from Residents to Foreign Corporation.—A debt due from residents of this state to a foreign corporation has no situs in this state, but is in contemplation of law in the state of its charter, and is there vested in the corporation, up to the time of a legal assignment thereof by the corporation.

Id.—Assignment for Benefit of Creditors—Title of Assignee— Attachment.—A legal assignment by the foreign corporation for the benefit of its creditors, made in a state other than that of its charter, in which it was doing business, and made in conformity with the laws of that state, to a resident thereof, vests title in the assignee to a debt dug to the corporation from residents of this state; and such debt cannot thereafter be attached in this state by a creditor of the corporation.

Id.—Conflict of Laws—Validity of Assignment—A contract, valid by the law of the place where it is made, is, as a general rule, valid everywhere; and a voluntary assignment, for the benefit of creditors, which is valid by the laws of the state where it is made, will operate to convey personal property not already subject to liens, in every state where it may be found.

Id.—Notice of Assignment—Attachment.—Notice of the assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the foreign corporation need not be given to debtors of the assignor residing in this state prior to the service upon them of an attachment at suit of a creditor of the assignor; but it is sufficient if the debtors receive notice subsequently thereto in time to avail themselves of the assignment to defeat the claim of the attaching creditor against them.

Id.—Presumptions—Place of Assignment—Validity—Conduct of Assignee—It is to be presumed that an assignment made by a Minnesota corporation for the Benefit of its creditors to an assignee residing in Illinois, where the corporation was doing business, and made in conformity with the laws of Illinois, and conducted by the assignee under the direction of a court in that state, was made in Illinois, and is valid in all respects, and that the law has been obeyed, and the ordinary course of business pursued by the assignee.

Id.—Construction of Code as to Assignments.—The provisions of the Civil Code of this state, in relation to assignment for the benefit of creditors, apply to general assignments of property situated in this state; and, under section 3451 of that code, a person residing in another state or country is not prevented from making there, in good faith, and without intent to evade the laws of this state, a transfer of property situated in this state. But none of the provisions of our code have application to a general assignment for the benefit of creditors made in another state which includes only a chose in action against residents of this state, having no situs therein, and in respect to which no rights of any of the citizens of this state are involved prior to the assignment.
