JUDICIAL DECISIONS Failure to dissolve business. - Probate court order removing an executor for cause was affirmed because the executor violated their fiduciary duty in numerous ways by failing to dissolve the estate business, using estate property and funds for their own benefit and to pay personal
bills, overpaid executor’s fees, and had a conflict of interest by continuing to operate the business despite the estate losing money but personally benefitting by using the business property rent-free. Myers v. Myers, 297 Ga. 490, 775 S.E.2d 145 (2015).
