1Opinion of the CourtCallahan, C. J.
The issue in this appeal is whether a finder’s fee for the recovery of property paid to the plaintiff, Marcelle Hall, the executrix of the estate of Julian Leon Altman (decedent), by an insurer, Lloyd’s of London (Lloyd’s), in exchange for the surrender by the plaintiff of a violin possessed by the decedent at the time of his death should be included in his estate or should belong to the plaintiff individually. The plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the trial court that the finder’s fee was required to be included in the decedent’s estate. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
