Sec. 3959.
If estate property is discovered after an estate is settled and either the personal representative is discharged or 1 year has expired after a closing statement is filed, or if there is other good cause to reopen a previously administered estate, including an estate administratively closed, upon petition of an interested person and notice as the court directs, the court may appoint the same or a successor personal representative to administer the subsequently discovered estate. If a new appointment is made, unless the court orders otherwise, the provisions of this act apply as appropriate. A claim previously barred shall not be asserted in the subsequent administration.
