§ 29-1-1-24 — Fraud; relief for injured parties

Whenever fraud has been perpetrated in
connection with any proceeding or in any statement filed under this
probate code or if fraud is used to avoid or circumvent the provisions
or purposes of this probate code, any person injured thereby may obtain
appropriate relief against the perpetrator of the fraud including
restitution from any person (other than a bona fide purchaser)
benefiting from the fraud, whether innocent or not. This section has no
bearing on remedies relating to fraud practiced on a decedent during
his lifetime which affects the succession of his estate.
