The plaintiffs, who are creditors of the deceased, brought a motion to appoint an independent litigation administrator for the estate, alleging a conflict of interest among the beneficiaries.
The defendant beneficiaries opposed the motion and brought a countermotion to appoint one of the next of kin as estate trustee.
The court dismissed the plaintiffs' motion, finding that creditors do not have the right to dictate who represents the estate in litigation they initiated, and granted the countermotion to appoint the next of kin as estate trustee.
