In re Ferguson
New York Surrogate's Court
In the matter of the application for the appointment of an administrator of the estate of Adelia K. Ferguson, deceased. Application granted.
1Opinion of the Court
CHURCH, S.
The executor nominated under the will which- has been admitted to probate died before the issuance of letters testamentary. Application is made by Hamilton Pomeroy for the issuance of letters of administration with the will' annexed to him, on the ground that he is the residuary legatee, and therefore entitled to same under the provisions of section 2643 °f the Code of Civil Procedure. The question as to his rights to these letters turns, therefore, solely upon the question of whether or not he-is the residuary legatee within the meaning of such section of the Code.
