The Letters of Administration were revoked because the Defendant obtained the grant by affirming a willingness to administer the estate while not genuinely intending to do so and thereafter acted in bad faith against beneficiaries; the Defendant is estopped by convention from challenging the beneficiaries' status because all parties had long acted on a common entitlement understanding; the court will appoint a new administrator (1st Plaintiff) subject to Probate Registry requirements.
