The applicant trustee sought directions to wind up a trust held for a beneficiary residing in Florida, pay the proceeds to a Florida guardian, and receive compensation and costs.
The beneficiary's mother challenged the court's jurisdiction, the validity of the trust, and the trustee's claims for compensation and costs.
The court found it had jurisdiction, upheld the validity of the trust, dispensed with a formal passing of accounts, and ordered the trust wound up with proceeds paid to a Florida guardian.
The trustee was awarded compensation and substantial indemnity costs payable from the trust.
