property or, more specifically, her authority in her rep-
       resentative capacity to vindicate ownership rights over
       the property on behalf of the estate. Instead, the defen-
       dants’ argument conflates the issue of the plaintiff’s
       standing to bring the summary process action with the
       issue of whether the plaintiff, either in her role as execu-
       tor of the decedent’s will or trustee of the trust estab-
       lished by the decedent, is properly exercising her duties
       under the will and trust. We agree with the plaintiff
       that the narrow issue before us in terms of standing is
       whether the plaintiff, in her representative capacity,
       had the right to seek possession of the subject property
       by commencing the present summary process action.
       This issue is legally distinct from whether her conduct
       in bringing the action was in derogation of her duties
       as executor or as trustee. On the basis of the undisputed
       facts, we hold that the plaintiff had the legal right to seek
       possession of the subject property and, accordingly,
       had standing to commence the underlying action. B
