Holding
The court held that an administrator who obtains property from an heir through misrepresentation, even if unintentional, may be declared an involuntary trustee of that property for the heir's benefit, and that the probate court's prior decree of distribution does not shield such a transaction from equitable scrutiny when it results from a violation of fiduciary duty.
