In re the Estate of Senn

Delehanty, S.

A motor vehicle owned by deceased was at the time of his death subject to a chattel mortgage and at the hazard of seizure by reason of defaults suffered by him. The vehicle was appraised at $600 and later sold at that price with the consent of the mortgagee who satisfied his mortgage on receiving $300 of the purchase price. The net balance received by the estate is now claimed by the widow of deceased under subdivision 3 of section 200 of the Surrogate’s Court Act. If she was entitled to the vehicle she may claim the proceeds by virtue of section 201 of the Surrogate’s Court Act.
