Matter of Burchardi

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

255 App. Div. 785 (N.Y. App. Div. 1938)

Opinion

October 7, 1938.

Appeal from Surrogate's Court of the County of Suffolk.


Resettled decree, in so far as appealed from, reversed on the law and the facts and a new trial ordered, with costs to the contestant-appellant, payable out of the estate, to abide the event. The determination of the surrogate was against the weight of the evidence. Lazansky, P.J., Carswell and Adel, JJ., concur; Hagarty and Taylor, JJ., concur in the reversal but dissent from the direction for a new trial and vote to deny probate of the instrument propounded, upon the ground that it was executed by the testatrix, enfeebled mentally, as a result of undue influence practiced upon her.
