What happens to the distribution of the Mula'anah's inheritance if the accuser subsequently retracts his accusation (i.e., confirms the child's lineage)?

Primary text
If the inheritance of the Mula'anah has been distributed, and subsequently the accuser (Mula'in) admits the truthfulness of the lineage (i.e., confirms the child is his), the child is legally attached to him, and the prior distribution of the inheritance is nullified.

Abu Hanifa maintains that the lineage is not established after the death of the accuser, unless twins were involved, one died, the accuser confirmed the lineage, and the other twin survives. In that specific scenario, the lineage of both the surviving twin and the deceased twin is established.
