The conflict escalated after Katherine responded by accusing the executors of the estate of exerting undue influence over the estate’s funds, limiting the distribution to its beneficiaries — including herself and her grandchildren.

Katherine’s allegations against the estate’s executors are stark and to the point. The documents claim, “It seems clear to [Katherine] that the Executors are holding all of the assets in the Estate in order to keep control over them and to avoid the more liberal distribution requirements of the Trust.”
