Estate of PHILIP H. BACKER, Deceased. JOHN BACKER, Petitioner and Appellant, v. RICHARD L. BACKER, as Administrator With the Will Annexed, Etc., Et Al., Objectors and Respondents

Holding

The court held that a conflict of interest between a nominated executor and the estate is not a ground for denial of appointment of such an executor in the absence of a statutory disqualification on that ground, as established by longstanding California precedent.
