  Estate of Sherman (1936) 5 C2d 730
Sherman from the executorship was a matter that was entitled to no consideration whatever in the determination of the question as to whether the mother of the decedent, who was his sole heir under the will, had forfeited her right to administer upon his estate.
Sherman for her signature was a proceeding well calculated to engender suspicion in her mind, thereby weakening the confidential relations that should exist between coexecutors.
Sherman that she sell a $9,500 note secured by a trust deed and 1500 shares of Transamerica stock in order to have on hand funds with which to pay the expenses of administration, which proposition she disagreed with, is in nowise an impeachment of her business judgment or her fitness to act as an executrix.
