14-3951. Effect of approval of agreements
involving trusts, inalienable interests, or interests of third
persons
A compromise of any controversy as to admission to probate of any instrument offered
for formal probate as the will of a decedent, the construction, validity or effect of any
probated will, the rights or interests in the estate of the decedent, of any successor,
or the administration of the estate, if approved in a formal proceeding in the court for
that purpose, is binding on all the parties thereto including those unborn, unascertained
or who could not be located. An approved compromise is binding even though it may affect
a trust or an inalienable interest. A compromise does not impair the rights of creditors
or of taxing authorities who are not parties to it.
