Applicants were, in substance, the successful party; respondent's lack of cooperation and obstructive conduct caused unnecessary delays and expense; taking into account family context and potential prejudice to creditors from personal liability, the appropriate order is scale costs of $22,741.50 plus disbursements of $1,135.33 to be paid from the respondent's share of the estate, with the balance of claimed costs borne by the applicants.
