Matter of King

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 16, 1993
198 A.D.2d 115 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

November 16, 1993

Appeal from the Surrogate's Court, New York County (Eve Preminger, S.).


The will provides that the estate is to pay "all of the reasonable travel, moving and other expenses" in connection with the specifically bequeathed items. The Surrogate properly determined that storage expense is embraced within the phrase "other expenses" and appropriately declined to receive extrinsic evidence, since "the intent of the testat[or] can be gleaned from the four corners of the will" (Matter of Knapp, 119 A.D.2d 676, 677).

We have considered the petitioners' remaining arguments, and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ross, Kassal, Rubin and Nardelli, JJ.
