     § 3539.  Change in law after pattern of distribution
                established.
        A personal representative shall have no liability for
     continued distribution of real or personal property in
     accordance with a pattern of distribution that conformed to the
     law in effect when distribution began, notwithstanding any
     intervening change in law that would require a different pattern
     of distribution, unless he is actually aware, after the law is
     changed, of information relevant to the change in the rights of
     interested parties or otherwise fails to act reasonably in
     ascertaining such rights. Nothing in this section shall in any
     way affect any cause of action which the parties in interest may
     have among themselves.
