19 Cal. App. 4th 1621 · B075283
California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District · Filed
Holding
The court held that the probate court did not abuse its discretion in authorizing the executor to re-engage a law firm for estate litigation over the beneficiary’s objection, nor in declining to remove the executor based on existing conflicts, where the court retained jurisdiction to monitor future misconduct and the executor’s actions were not shown to be contrary to the estate’s interests.
