Arkansas Code Title 28. Wills, Estates, and Fiduciary Relationships § 28-53-110. Propriety of distributions

(a) Unless the distribution or payment no longer can be questioned because of adjudication, estoppel, or limitations, a distributee of property improperly distributed or paid, or a claimant who was improperly paid, is liable to return any property improperly received, which is other than money, and its income since distribution if he or she has the property and to return an amount equal to any money improperly paid with interest at six percent (6%) per annum. If he or she does not have the property, then he or she is liable to return the value as of the date of disposition of the property improperly received and its income and gain received by him or her.

(b) An improper distribution or payment shall be deemed to include distribution or payment without deduction of or payment for any federal or state estate, death, or transfer taxes properly apportioned thereto.

(c) Any suit or proceeding to recover property improperly distributed or the value thereof may be instituted in the circuit court in which administration is pending or was had, or in any other court of proper jurisdiction.

(d) Any suit or proceeding to recover property improperly distributed or the value thereof, money improperly paid, and income or interest, as the case may be, shall be barred three (3) years after the decedent's death or two (2) years after the time of distribution or payment, whichever last occurs.
