1Opinion of the Court

— In a proceeding to construe a will, the petitioner appeals from a decree of the Surrogate’s Court, Queens County (Laurino, S.), dated December 16, 1983, which determined that the will was devoid of a residuary clause or of a clause disposing of the decedent’s assets in the event that his wife predeceased him, as she did, and, since the conditions regarding disposition of the estate in the event of a common disaster had not been met, ordered that the residuary of the decedent’s estate be distributed by intestacy according to EPTL 4-1.1.

Decree affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
