Is there a time limit, in North Dakota, to correct an error at probate regarding mineral rights ownership? This probate is from 1968. Can this title be cured or is it too late?
I think it's possible but you need to ask a ND lawyer.
It depends what type of error you are asking about? If the Will is clear as to a beneficiary named by the testator, you can't now say that in 1968, Grandmother actually intended to leave everything to me instead of my brother.
If you want to attack the will as invalid, or contest it, there are different grounds for doing so, such as undue influence by one of the beneficiaries over the testator. If that is the case, you would need to consult an attorney and he can advise you on whatever legal issues you are not making clear here, as well as the applicable statute of limitations statutes in your state.
Thanks for your replies. Am trying to find a gas & oil ND attorney - very hard to do.
Not attacking will as invalid and my father was the named beneficiary. Father assigned his share to another sibling. Now I have proof that this was an invalid assignment. So would like to cure the title but wondering if it is too late?

On what grounds do you claim the assignment was invalid?
