ESTATE OF BERNARD L. PACELLA, Sr., Deceased

ESTATE OF BERNARD L. PACELLA, Sr., Deceased (155P2007/H) — In this compulsory accounting proceeding commenced by a son of the decedent, objections were filed by the respondent, the preliminary executor, who is another son of the decedent. Preliminary letters testamentary issued to the respondent on March 1, 2007 and were revoked on August 15, 2012. The respondent, conceding that "accountings would normally be granted as a matter of course," objects to the proceeding asserting he has no records on which to base an accounting as the same were turned over to the petitioner. To the extent the respondent is lacking records which were turned over to the petitioner, the petitioner shall provide same to the respondent. Insofar as the proffered objection does not provide any reason why the respondent should not render his account with reasonable expedition, for the period he served as fiduciary, the application is accordingly granted.
