The problems here are only first-world due to the number of zeros at the end of the dollar-amounts.
Many other estates with independent administrators and much less value end up similarly screwed up, but don't end up with eye-popping verdicts because no one has enough money left to fight the administrator.
It just so happens that these folks did. It is a total shame that it takes this much money to fight, but one can hope that this big of a verdict makes some of the smaller fish rethink their strategies.

One can hope, anyway.
