In re Irving Trust Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the CourtCarswell, J.
The executors of the testator petitioned that it be decreed that his widow was not entitled to elect, under section 18 of the Decedent Estate Law, to take against his will and codicil. Upon the executors’ proof, the widow adducing none, the surrogate decreed that the widow had the right so to elect and had effectively exercised it. The executors and certain next of kin of the testator appeal. The widow died after the decree was entered and has been succeeded by her executor.
The facts are not in dispute. They are contained in the pleadings, certain stipulations and two documents.
