In re the Probate of the Will of Hoppin
New York Surrogate's Court

1Opinion of the Court
John D. Bennett, S.
The specific question raised in this probate proceeding relates to the applicability of the priorities found in section 118 of the Surrogate’s Court Act to the designation of an administrator c. t. a. when letters are sought by contesting petitioners, each of whom are next of kin and qualify under the same subdivision of section 133 of the Surrogate’s Court Act. Although the problem is of some importance, it does not seem to have been previously passed on in any reported decision, since the comprehensive amendment to section 133 by chapter 350 of the Laws of 1952.
