Abstract
In this chapter consideration is given to the various remedies available to the beneficiaries or creditors of an estate when things go wrong in the administration of the estate. In the first instance it is obvious to look to the personal representatives for a remedy. But it may be that no claim can be brought against the personal representatives because they are able to avail themselves of a defence. Or the claim may be pointless because the personal representatives are incapable of providing damages for loss because they are insolvent. In these situations actions against the persons to whom the estate has been wrongly distributed need to be considered.
