ORDER
Before the Court in these consolidated cases are identical motions filed by Massachusetts Mutual
Life Insurance Company for continued status reports from Attorney Candace Williamson, who formerly
served as counsel for Dr. Purvis William Hill, Jr., deceased. Essentially, Massachusetts Mutual seeks an
order requiring Ms. Williamson to file periodic status reports about her efforts to be appointed
administrator of Dr. Hill’s estate and to immediately petition the Chancery Court to either appoint a
temporary administrator or administrator ad litem. The Court finds these requests are not well taken, and
the motions are, therefore, DENIED. Nevertheless, the Court intends to schedule status conferences in
this matter as needed, and one such conference shall be set by separate order within 10 days of this date.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of January, 2017.
