OPINION
BAILEY, Judge.
Case Summary
Larry Yeley (“Larry”) appeals the denial of his motion to correct error, which challenged a probate court order approving a settlement agreement reached pursuant to the adjudicated compromise of controversies provisions of the Indiana Probate Code. 1 We reverse and remand.
Issues
Yeley presents three issues for review, which we consolidate and restate as two:
I. Whether the probate court erroneously concluded that Yeley lacks standing to contest the settlement agreement; and
II. Whether Yeley may participate in a will contest he did not initiate.
