Is it possible to cancel an order granted to distribute a deceased’s estate according to law, and divide it according to a will if one is found later ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 13 May, 2022In principle, yes. If all those who were heirs under the order agree, cancellation is possible. The Inheritance Act of 1965 gives a court discretion to cancel an order it gave to distribute an estate on the basis of facts or claims which it was unaware of when it granted the order.
The will must, however, be declared valid before probate can be granted and the estate distributed according to it.
