Two applications were brought regarding the estate of the deceased.
One beneficiary sought to remove all three current executors and appoint an independent trustee, citing irreconcilable differences and hostility.
Two of the executors brought a cross-application to remove the third executor, who was operating the estate's main asset (a family farm) and had an interest in purchasing it.
The court found that the third executor had a conflict of interest and was primarily responsible for creating a climate of distrust that impeded the estate's administration.
The court removed the third executor and allowed the other two to continue as sole executors, dismissing the application to remove all three.
