The applicant, a beneficiary of an estate, sought the removal of the estate trustees, who were also beneficiaries, citing "family dynamics" and a perceived risk of unfair treatment in her attempt to purchase a cottage from the estate.
The court dismissed the application, finding no clear necessity for removal and emphasizing that the applicant's emotional interest in the cottage did not elevate her legal interest beyond that of other beneficiaries.
The court held that the estate trustees' plan to sell the cottage was consistent with their duty to maximize estate value and that the applicant's concerns about unfairness were speculative.
