In Re the Accounting of Bankers Trust Co.
New York Court of Appeals · Decided March 8, 1938
277 N.Y. 650; 14 N.E.2d 203; 1938 N.Y. LEXIS 1111

In Re the Accounting of Bankers Trust Co.

Opinion of the Court

We think our opinion in Matter of Otis (276 N. Y. 101) does not imply that fiduciaries may distribute surplus income before all advances from principal are repaid. We are also of opinion that no valid distinction may be made in that regard between principal obligations ” and income obligations.”
