A residuary beneficiary is entitled to notice of the filing of a petition to remove the executor of the estate, and notice of the hearing on the petition. The order of the Orphans’ Court removing the executor and ordering the beneficiary to vacate the decedent’s residence was therefore vacated and the case remanded. The issue of whether the beneficiary had standing was not raised by any party and so was waived, and it was improper for the Orphans’ Court to raise it sua sponte. In re: Estate of Dolores Mae Zupancic, 1483 WDA 2024 (Pa. Super. 10/28/2025) (non-precedential).
