OPINION OF THE COURT
C. Raymond Radigan, J.
In this accounting proceeding, the executor and one of the objectants move and cross-move, respectively, for an order pursuant to CPLR 3212 granting summary judgment in their favor. The objectant is the surviving spouse of the decedent; the executor is her stepson. The issue concerns the responsibility for a mortgage on the marital residence. Its novelty resides in the fact that the surviving spouse and the decedent became tenants by the entirety after the decedent had mortgaged his interest in the property when he still owned it in fee.
