In re the General Guardianship of the Person & Estate of Lonergan
In re the General Guardianship of the Person & Estate of Lonergan
187 A.D. 939
Opinion of the Court
Services in defending an infant eighteen years of age against a serious criminal charge fall within the class of necessaries. If the original employment of plaintiff was by the guardian, he should be allowed the amount from the property of the ward. The claim of the attorney is plainly reasonable, and the motion should have been granted. Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements payable out of the funds, and motion granted. Jenks, P. J., Mills, Putnam, Blackmar and Kelly, JJ., concurred.
