Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 29, 1966 · Aulisi, Gibson, Herlihy, Reynolds, Taylor
25 A.D.2d 805; 269 N.Y.S.2d 383; 1966 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4404
In re the Estate of Siegler

Opinion of the Court

Herlihy, J.

Appeal from an order of the Surrogate’s Court which directed the Comptroller to pay over moneys to the petitioner for the benefit of *806Hungarian beneficiaries. In Matter of Saniuk (21 A D 2d 922, mot. for lv. to app. den. 15 N Y 2d 482), very similar to the present facts, we held that the Surrogate’s Court had broad discretion in such situations to effectuate the intention of the decedent. The facts herein warrant the exercise of discretion by the Surrogate. Order affirmed, with costs.

Gibson, P. J., Reynolds, Taylor and Aulisi, JJ., concur.
