Estate of Frances C. Glover, a.k.a. Frances C. Cloud, Deceased, Kevin Holleran and Wilmington Trust Co., Administrators Pro Tem - Page 15




                                       - 15 -                                         
          Glovers maintained that, even if those transfers were treated as            
          loans (as Ms. Hurley contended), Ms. Hurley, as executrix of the            
          estate, had a conflict of interest because she had made no attempt          
          to recoup the funds she took from decedent’s accounts.  Moreover,           
          the Glovers alleged that Ms. Hurley had actively and fraudulently           
          attempted to conceal the indebtedness in order to further her own           
          interests.                                                                  
               On May 3, 1993, the Orphans’ Court entered a preliminary               
          decree directing Ms. Hurley to show cause why she should not be             
          removed as executrix of decedent’s estate.  The court also issued           
          a temporary restraining order against Ms. Hurley, enjoining her             
          from (1) participating in all decisions regarding the                       
          administration of the estate, (2) participating in all decisions            
          regarding the assets of the estate, (3) engaging or paying counsel          
          to represent the estate, (4) claiming any compensation as                   
          executrix, (5) doing any other act as executrix, and (6)                    
          transferring any of her personal assets outside the ordinary course         
          of her daily life without permission of the court.  The restraining         
          order required Ms. Hurley to file with the court a schedule listing         
          all of her personal assets and an accounting of all transfers of            
          money or property from decedent’s bank accounts or from the estate          
          during the relevant periods.                                                
               On June 22, 1993, the Orphans’ Court entered a decree removing         
          Ms. Hurley as executrix and appointing Kevin Holleran (an attorney
