Can an estate administrator be removed if they are mismanaging the estate?

Yes. Any heir can apply to the Family Court to remove an estate administrator who is acting improperly, breaching their fiduciary duties, failing to account for assets, or misappropriating estate funds. The court may suspend the administrator pending investigation and appoint a temporary replacement. Evidence of mismanagement — such as undisclosed asset sales, failure to pay creditors, or refusal to provide accounts — supports a removal application. An Israeli attorney can file such an application on your behalf even if you are abroad.
