A: If there is a need to reopen the estate to empower an executor or administrator, that may be done. An attorney who would work with you in addressing this new development would want to be sure about the nature of the asset, what proceedings would be needed, and minimizing the cost of a new procedure to maximize the payout. You should consult with an attorney promptly.
