What does Granting any other and further relief that this court deems just and equipped to equitable mean?

It is a catch all phrase (I use it myself) essentially saying to the Court, that once you've given me everything else I've asked for in my complaint (money, other damages, forcing a party to do something), if there's anything else you can think of to which I'm entitled to, just please give it to me. In reality, this is virtually meaningless. What your main focus should be on right now is to find a lawyer (probably a probate lawyer or an elder lawyer) who can guide you through this accusation that you breached your fiduciary duty to the estate. You should make sure you have receipts, records, etc. handy for the first meeting. Further, I would advise you to NOT post anything on a public forum about this--anything you manage to admit to (even inadvertently) could be used against you. This is very serious. Please talk to a lawyer immediately, as you probably must file an answer to these allegations within 30 days or so.

Basically, it just asking the court to do something specific, but leaving the door open for the court to do something different than what has been requested.

Simply put, you don't get what you don't ask for in your initial petition so that generic and broad reaching phrase asks the judge to award anything else that he or she deems fair and equitable.
