Uncooperative Executor Removed, Held in Contempt, and Surcharged

After being removed as executor, the former executor was held in contempt for failing to turn over the assets and records of the estate to the successor executor, for failing to file an account of her administration of the estate, and for failing to appear in court to respond to the petitions for contempt and to answer for her failure to account. A judgment for surcharge was also entered against the former executor for the full value of all known estate assets, as well as the attorney fees and court costs of the successor executor. Heller Estate, 3 Fid.Rep.4th 272 (Monroe O.C. 2025).
