LETTERS TESTAMENTARY PROPERLY REVOKED WITHOUT A HEARING.

The Second Department determined Surrogate's Court properly revoked letters testamentary without a hearing based upon undisputed proof the administrators were in conflict with each other, improvidently managed the property and failed to abide by the terms of a so-ordered stipulation:

The removal of a fiduciary pursuant to SCPA 711 and 719 is equivalent to a judicial nullification of the testator's choice and may only be decreed when the grounds set forth in the relevant statutes have been clearly established … . The Surrogate may remove a fiduciary without a hearing only where the misconduct is established by undisputed facts or concessions, where the fiduciary's in-court conduct causes such facts to be within the court's knowledge, or where facts warranting an amendment of letters are presented to the court during a related evidentiary proceeding … . Thus, revoking a fiduciary's letters without a hearing pursuant to SCPA 719 will constitute an abuse of discretion where the facts are disputed, where conflicting inferences may be drawn therefrom, or where there are claimed mitigating facts that, if established, would render summary removal an inappropriate remedy … . Matter of Kaufman, 2016 NY Slip Op 01849, 2nd Dept 3-16-16
