Edward J. LoCASCIO, Appellant, v. The ESTATE OF Silvia M. LoCASCIO, Appellee.
    Nos. 3D10-2576, 3D10-3449.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 29, 2011.
    Austin Carr, Coral Gables, for appellant.
    Golden & Cowan and William J. Glasko, for appellee.
    Before SUAREZ and LAGOA, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.

Edward J. LoCascio appeals from an order removing him as successor personal representative of his deceased mother’s estate. See LoCascio v. Sharpe, 23 So.3d 1209 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009); see also Golden & Cowan, P.A. v. In re Estate of Locasdo, 41 So.3d 1113 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010). Because the “hearing” which preceded the ruling did not meet even the most rudimentary requirements of due process, including without limitation the presentation of evidence, it is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to reinstate the appellant as personal representative and for the prompt final resolution of this already over-protracted proceeding. 
      
      . We consider that this ruling obviates any reason for a curator or any other extraneous entity to administer the estate.
