Opinion
August 16, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff lacks standing to sue on behalf of the decedent's estate since she has not received letters of administration ( see, EPTL 11-3.1, 1-2.13 Est. Powers Trusts; Palladino v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 188 A.D.2d 708). Moreover, the plaintiff has failed to show that she has an actual legal stake in the matter being adjudicated ( Society of Plastics Indus. v. County of Suffolk, 77 N.Y.2d 761, 772-773).
Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein, McGinity and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
