Person B dies, but after they die, it becomes known that Person A had ownership of land that was unknown to person B.
Person C (another sibling) applies for a De Bonis Notis (DBN) grant against Person A estate which is granted by the probate office.
Which estate is liable for the expenses of the DBN grant, and what is the legal justification?

So we’ll written, it could be an exam question!
I would imagine the newly discovered estate which was the subject of the DBN grant. I don’t know the technicalities, but trying to levy expenses on estates which have been fully dispersed some time in the past is going to be impractical.
