OPINION OF THE COURT
Lewis R. Friedman, J.
This motion by Isaac Kokhba, a coconservator, seeks to distribute to himself, the administrator of the estate of the deceased conservatee, nearly all of the assets of the estate. The coconservator, Robert L. Geltzer, Esq., opposes the application on various procedural and substantive grounds. This motion raises serious issues that were not resolved in the cases under the statute previously governing conservators and committees of incompetents (Mental Hygiene Law former arts 77, 78) or the statute governing guardians (Mental Hygiene Law art 81).
