§30.243. May a closed probate case be reopened?
43 C.F.R. § 30.243
A closed probate case may be reopened if the decision or order issued in the probate case contains an error of fact or law (including, but not limited to, a missing or improperly included heir or devisee, a found will, or an error in the distribution of property), and the error is discovered more than 30 days after the mailing date of a decision.
Any interested party or BIA may seek correction of the error of fact or law by filing a petition for reopening with the judge.
Reopening may also be initiated on a judge's own motion.
