The applicant sought to appoint an interim succeeding estate trustee for her late father's estate.
The current estate trustee, the applicant's mother, had experienced a significant mental decline, was hospitalized under a Form 2, and had depleted trust assets while failing to meet obligations such as filing tax returns.
Relying on its parens patriae jurisdiction, the court suspended the current trustee's authority and appointed the applicant's half-sister as the interim succeeding estate trustee without requiring a bond, to protect the applicant's interests and prevent further loss to the trust.
