Questione giuridica chiave
Whether official administration of the estate under Art. 556(3) CC had to be ordered after distribution of the estate assets.
Decisione estratta
No. Once the estate assets had already been transferred and the division completed, an official administration had no practical purpose and could not be ordered.
Motivazione estratta
Official administration is a conservative safeguard measure to preserve the estate pending devolution. The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, consider the measure pointless after the executor had already completed liquidation and distribution.
