Asianajaja X oli 6.11.2017 määrätty pesänjakajaksi toimittamaan omaisuuden ositus A:n

ja B:n välillä. A oli 11.9.2024 vireille tulleella hakemuksella vaatinut X:n

vapauttamista pesänjakajan tehtävästä, sillä ositus ei ollut edennyt riittävällä

joutuisuudella. Ositusta ei hakemuksen vireille tuloon mennessä ollut saatu

toimitettua.

Kysymys siitä, oliko asianajaja X perintökaaren 23 luvun 5 §:n mukaisesti toimeensa

sopimaton tai oliko asiassa muu syy vapauttaa X toimestaan.

Valituslupakortti sisältää kuvauksen siitä kysymyksestä, johon liittyen asiassa on

myönnetty valituslupa. Sen sisältö ei sido korkeinta oikeutta eikä rajoita asian

käsittelyä siltä osin kuin valituslupa on myönnetty.
