This case involves two consolidated applications concerning the estate of Veronica Bishop.
Carolyn Mae Reeves sought interpretation of the will regarding executor appointments and asset vesting, and an accounting from Anne Marie Veronica Inglis, a de facto executor.
Margaret Bishop, the deceased's daughter, sought dependant's relief, an accounting, and the removal of Anne Marie as executor.
The court determined that Anne Marie and Carolyn are the current executors.
It clarified that non-residence assets vested at the deceased's death, while residence proceeds vested upon sale.
The court ordered Anne Marie to provide a formal accounting.
Margaret was found to be a dependant and awarded $725,000 from her trust, inclusive of her share of the residue and dependant's support, subject to Anne Marie's proven expenses.
The decision on Anne Marie's removal as executor was adjourned pending the accounting.
