New York Surrogate's Court, 1883

Silverbrandt v. Widmayer

Silverbrandt v. Widmayer
New York Surrogate's Court · Decided November 15, 1883
2 Dem. Sur. 263

Counsel

A. C. & M. H. Ellis, for petitioner., Salomon & Dulon, for administrator.

Silverbrandt v. Widmayer

Opinion of the Court

The Surrogate.

The affidavit which opposes petitioner’s application does not show sufficient cause why that petition should be denied.

A verified statement in the form of an inventory, and ontaining the very matters here averred in respondent’s hhalf, might be deemed a sufficient inventory if acompanied by an appraisal. And such an appraisal *264may be had even without actual inspection of assets. In the decision to the contrary, upon which respondent’s counsel relies (Matter of Robbins, 4 Redf., 144), the late Surrogate seems to have overlooked the case of Butler’s Estate (38 N. Y., 397).

Petition granted.
