==Background==
The Granberry heirs brought this case against the executor of their father’s estate for an account of the estate’s financial situation. While giving his report, the executor stated four exemptions to the estate to which Chancellor Wythe confirmed. The Granberry heirs appealed. 
===The Court's Decision===
The Court of Appeals reversed the exemptions of the report and remanded to the High Court of Chancery for an inquiry to be made according the principles of the appellate judges.
