Silverbrandt v. Widmayer

2 Dem. Sur. 263

Opinion

The Surrogate.

The affidavit which opposes petitioner’s application does not show sufficient cause why that petition should be denied.

A verified statement in the form of an inventory, and ontaining the very matters here averred in respondent’s hhalf, might be deemed a sufficient inventory if acompanied by an appraisal. And such an appraisal may be had even without actual inspection of assets. In the decision to the contrary, upon which respondent’s counsel relies (Matter of Robbins, 4 Redf., 144), the late Surrogate seems to have overlooked the case of Butler’s Estate (38 N. Y., 397).

Petition granted.
