The Surrogate properly granted the petition since the express terms of the subject will permitted a majority of the trustees to act collectively in selecting successor trustees (see Matter of Luckenbach, 303 N.Y. 491, 496, 104 N.E.2d 870 [1952] ; see also Georgius v. Village of Morrisville, 90 A.D.3d 1256, 934 N.Y.S.2d 357 [3d Dept. 2011] ).
We have considered respondent's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
