Thomas v. Brevoort Savings Bank

275 A.D.2d 724

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: March 28, 1949
• Status: Published

Opinion

The evidence was sufficient not only to sustain the finding that the deposit in trust for respondent Mabel Thomas, etc., was not an illusory transfer, but also to establish that the trust had become irrevocable before the death of appellant’s intestate, as a consequence of the delivery of the savings bank passbook to said respondent, with intent to complete the gift.
