This work covers applying to remove an executor or administrator (a personal representative) who is mishandling an estate, is in conflict of interest, or is causing delays or risk to beneficiaries. A solicitor helps the applicant prepare and present the case to the court, gather and submit evidence, serve notices on beneficiaries, and seek a replacement personal representative where appropriate. Proceedings typically take place in the Probate Registry or the High Court, and may involve advising on interim steps to protect assets during the process.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The removal seeks to prevent irreversible decisions or losses from mismanagement, ensure proper administration, and safeguard beneficiaries. The solicitor outlines the grounds for removal, organises evidence of misconduct or delay, and assists with applications to the court for substitution or preservation of the estate, citing relevant probate rules and court procedures.
