The deceased appointed her three children as joint estate trustees.
Due to extreme hostility and acrimony, the siblings were unable to administer the estate, which consisted primarily of a $66,000 bank account.
Two siblings brought an application to remove the third, who brought a cross-application to remove them.
The court found that the third sibling demonstrated palpable animus and made abusive statements and threats.
Applying the test for removal of a trustee, the court removed the third sibling and allowed the other two to continue as the sole estate trustees.
