In re Norton
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided May 15, 1936
248 A.D. 575
In re Norton

Opinion of the Court

We think that the petitioner, even if he made out the allegations of his petition so as to obtain a favorable report from a special guardian, would not be entitled to invade his incompetent mother’s estate for his support. Income now received is insufficient for her own proper maintenance. Hence the appointment of a special guardian to take proof and report was not proper in the circumstances. The order should be reversed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements, and the motion denied. Present — Martin, P. J., McAvoy, O’Malley, Townley and Dore, JJ.
