Because the applicants faced real and significant conflicts of interest and potential personal exposure that risked prejudicing the interests and proper administration for beneficiaries, it was expedient under s 21 Administration Act 1969 and appropriate under s 51 Trustee Act 1956 to remove the executors and discharge the trustees and to appoint the Public Trust as replacement executor and trustee; appointment could not practicably be achieved without court assistance.
