Estate trustee removed due to extreme hostility and inability to administer the estate jointly.
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.
