Anne Winkworth, a co-estate trustee, brought a motion for directions concerning the sale of the last major asset of the estate, a property in Thunder Bay.
While the parties largely agreed on the sale, disputes remained regarding the holding of sale proceeds and costs.
The court ordered the property to be listed for sale, suspended any beneficiary purchase rights until after the listing, and directed that net sale proceeds, after specific expenses and Anne's fixed costs, be held in trust by Anne's counsel pending further agreement or court order.
Anne was awarded $2,000 in costs, to be a first charge on the sale proceeds.
