New York Surrogate's Court

Decided December 15, 1913PublishedCited by 19 opinions

Appeal by the comptroller of the state of New York from the report of a tax appraiser.

1Opinion of the Court

Fowler, S.

This is a proceeding to appraise the estate of the late General Frederick Dent Grant, U. S. A., in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer Tax Law. The executrix contends that at the time of his death General Grant was not domiciled in the state of New York. If this contention is correct his estate is not subject to a transfer tax in this state. The appraiser refused to tax the estate, and the comptroller now appeals to the surrogate. The appraiser had no power to determine the domicile of General Grant. N. Y. L. J., Nov. 14, 1913.
