The appellant appealed a Master's decision appointing an Estate Trustee During Litigation (ETDL) to manage an intestate estate.
The appellant argued the Master exceeded her jurisdiction by effectively removing her as administrator and authorizing the ETDL to distribute the residue of the estate.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the Master's decision to appoint an ETDL due to the adversarial relationship between the parties.
However, the court noted that certain provisions of the resulting order exceeded the Master's jurisdiction and directed the parties to amend the order or return to the Master.
