A person was appointed as an executor of a will under a will.

Nevertheless, the Court held that although the desire of the deceased is the default, the Court may ignore the provision of the will appointing an executor where there is no confidence between the heirs and the designated executor, or the heirs reach an agreement that they are not interested in administration of the estate or the Court believes that an executor is not required at all and one can save the cost of the executor.
