Opinion
June 22, 1992
Appeal from the Surrogate's Court, Queens County (Laurino, S.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Surrogate's Court found that the attorney for the executor performed certain services that should have been performed by the executor. The court valued those services at $6,500 and surcharged the executor's statutory commissions by that amount. Based upon the facts and circumstances of this proceeding, we conclude that the determination of the Surrogate was appropriate. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
