Defendant was removed, the grant revoked and lodging dispensed with because he was absent, unresponsive, had materially failed to administer the principal asset (the Property) for over a year, failed to communicate with beneficiaries, and posed a real risk of ongoing non‑cooperation; appointment of the plaintiff as administrator was necessary and in beneficiaries' interests and she was suitably placed to administer the estate and investigate potential claims; defendant must still furnish true accounts and pay costs.
