Many trustees, the "majority" is pivotal in legacy management.

⚖️ Supreme Court Judgment No. 3681 / 2567

Many of you may wonder, in the case of a court setting up "multiple trustees," does every step have to sign at the same time? If one is busy or inconvenient, will it spoil the management of the inheritance? This newest Supreme has a clear answer.

📍 The point of the case:

The problem and the B.C. (the joint trustee) intended to sue the defendant to restore the inheritance to the inheritance, but in the process of the meeting and the resolution to file the case, the B.C. did not come to the action itself, but instead authorized other persons and lawyers to attend the meeting and vote. When the majority of the resolution agreed to sue, the defendant called the "plaintiff has no power to sue," claiming that all trustees did not commit forensics or sue together at the same time.

⚖️ relevant legal clauses:

• Section 1726: Management of inheritance by multiple managers. If the will is not otherwise specified, act according to the "majority."

• P.D., Section 1732: The trustee shall manage according to his duties and make accounting reports.

• P.D. Section 1720, 1723: Liability of the trustee to the heir to bring the provision of "agent" into force

🏛️ The legal precedent:

The Supreme Court ruled on three key principles of inheritance management:

1. No need to do it simultaneously, everyone every now and then: The nature of inheritance management (i.e. forensics, litigation, debt servicing) does not always require all trustees to appear or sign at the same time.

2. Authorization is achieved: The trustee can appoint a representative or lawyer to take the place at various stages, to ease the management of the inheritance.

3. Maintain a "majority": If the act has the approval of a majority of trustees, or the consent of someone else, it constitutes a lawful management of the inheritance under Section 1726, even if a minority trustee does not participate in the act.

✅ Conclusion: In this case, when the plaintiff and the representative of the other trustee make a joint resolution (holding a majority) for the prosecution, the plaintiff has the power to sue and retrieve the land and property from the defendant by preference.
