I wonder if there is a statute of limitations on suing an estate.

Let’s say he dies in 5 years. 10 years later his children suddenly clearly become rich and can’t explain how. Clearly it looks like he passed the gold to them somehow.

Could the investors then somehow sue his estate then to get the value of the gold back? Or would it be too late?

For all we know he stole money, but not what they thought. Maybe after his time in hiding there’s only a few thousand left and it’s all largely moot anyway.

He’d be more sympathetic if he hadn’t been hiding and suspiciously paying cash for everything for years.
