It was not an abuse of discretion for the Register of Wills to appoint the decedent’s mother to administer her daughter’s estate, and not the father, and it was not an abuse of discretion for the Orphans’ Court to refuse to overturn the appointment on appeal. The mother and father were the two intestate heirs, and had equal claims to letters of administration, but the mother and father were divorced and would be unable to serve together as co-administrators. The deceased daughter had lived with her mother (and not her father) for most of her life, and the father had a history of mental illness and criminal convictions and had been unable to work for several years, while the mother owned a business and was familiar with the duties of administering an estate, leading the Register to conclude that the mother was better suited to administer the estate. In re: Estate of Makayla N. Belton, 2786 EDA 2025 (Pa. Super. 9/21/2026) (non-precedential).
