In re the Judicial Settlement of the Accounts of Huntley
New York Surrogate's Court
Judicial settlement of the accounts of an executor.
1Opinion of the Court
Lansing, S.
The executor filed his account, duly verified. The creditors filed objections to certain items of credit for costs and disbursements alleged to have been paid by the executor in *307litigating the bill of the undertaker for the funeral expenses of the deceased. The creditors insist that such payments were unjustifiable, that the expenditure of nearly one-half of the small estate of about $800 in fruitless litigation over the undertaker’s bill was unwarranted in law, and amounted to a breach of duty on the part of the executor, and that credit should not be allowed him therefor.
