(b) An application to revoke the order must allege that:
(1) other estate property has been discovered, property belonging to the estate was not included in the application for no administration, or the property described in the application for no administration was incorrectly valued; and
(2) if that property were added, included, or correctly valued, as applicable, the total value of the property would exceed the amount necessary to justify the court in ordering no administration.
(c) The court shall revoke the order on proof of any of the grounds described by Subsection (b).
