On the undisputed contemporaneous correspondence and material evidence, the executrix failed to render proper accounts with supporting documents after repeated requests, and improperly conditioned distribution on beneficiaries accepting unverified calculations; these breaches prejudiced a beneficiary and justified summary judgment removing the executrix and appointing an independent professional administrator, with further orders for production of inventory and account and refusal of security for costs.
