Ontario Barrister and Solicitor Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What will the court appoint if estate litigation is commenced and no estate trustee exists?

A state administrator

A litigation guardian

A litigation administrator

In this scenario, the court will appoint a litigation administrator in order to manage the estate during the legal proceedings. This is because there is no existing estate trustee to handle the responsibilities. Options A, B, and D are not correct because they do not pertain specifically to estates and do not address the issue of litigation. A state administrator is responsible for managing government property, a litigation guardian is appointed to represent a minor or incapacitated person in a lawsuit, and a temporary executor may be appointed in the event of a deceased executor. None of these roles align with the specific scenario presented in the question. Therefore, the most appropriate and accurate option is C, a litigation administrator.
