# §15.403. What happens after the probate order is issued?

- (a) If the probate decision or order is issued by an ADM, you have 30 days from the decision mailing date to file a written request for a de novo review.
- (b) If the probate decision or order is issued by a judge, you have 30 days from the decision mailing date to file a written request for rehearing. After a judge's decision on rehearing, you have 30 days from the mailing date of the decision to file an appeal, in accordance with 43 CFR parts [4](/cfr/43/part4.md) and [30](/cfr/43/part30.md).
- (c) When any interested party files a timely request for de novo review, a request for rehearing, or an appeal, we will not pay claims, transfer title to land, or distribute trust personalty until the request or appeal is resolved.
- (d) If no interested party files a request or appeal within the 30-day deadlines in paragraphs [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) of this section, we will wait at least 15 additional days before paying claims, transferring title to land, and distributing trust personalty. At that time:
  - (1) The LTRO will change the land title records for the trust and restricted land in accordance with the final decision or order; and
  - (2) We will pay claims and distribute funds from the IIM account in accordance with the final decision or order.
