 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 24-9)Sec. 24-9.         Reopening estate.)  If a decedent's estate has been  closed and the representative discharged, it may be reopened to permit the  administration of a newly discovered asset or of an unsettled portion of the  estate on the petition of any interested person.  If the petition asks the  appointment of  the former representative or a successor designated by the will, the court may  order such notice of the hearing on the petition to be given to any  interested persons as it directs or the court may hear the petition without  notice.  If the  petition asks the appointment of a representative other than the one who was acting  when the prior administration was completed or a successor designated by the  will, notice of the hearing on the petition must be given as the court directs  to the former representative and to all persons entitled either to  administer or to nominate a person to administer equally with or  in preference to the petitioner.  No notice need be given  to any person who personally appears at the hearing or who  files his waiver of notice.  On the hearing, the court  may vacate the order of discharge or issue letters of office  as the case requires.  A new bond based on the value  of the newly discovered asset or the unsettled portion of  the estate and limited to the administration thereof must be  furnished as provided by this Act.
