7 A.D.2d 645 (N.Y. App. Div. 1958)

Opinion

November 17, 1958

Present — Nolan, P.J., Wenzel, Ughetta, Hallinan and Kleinfeld, JJ. [ 5 Misc.2d 657.]


Appeal (1) from so much of a decree of the Surrogate's Court, Richmond County, judicially settling the administrator's account, as fixed appellant's fee at $2,000, and (2) from an order denying a subsequent application on additional facts for similar relief, or for alternative relief. Appellant claimed his fee was fixed by the terms of a written retainer between him and the attorney in fact acting under a power of attorney for distributees residing in Russia. The subsequent application was based upon a written confirmation executed by two of the three distributees after appellant's services had been fully rendered. Decree insofar as appealed from and order unanimously affirmed, without costs. No opinion.
