Decisions
- Matter of Lucano (Queens, 2024). The Surrogate's Court denied the executor's unopposed motion to redact or seal the terms of a wrongful death settlement in the petition and supporting papers, because he did not show good cause.
- Matter of Benson (Albany, 2019). The Surrogate's Court denied Weitz & Luxenberg's motion to drop Robert Thomas Benson as a party, and ruled that he could proceed as co-administrator and petitioner against the law firm.
- Matter of Miller (Erie, 2014). The Surrogate's Court denied the executrix's petition to declare missing daughter Constance dead, and approved the settlement allocation (90% conscious pain and suffering, 10% wrongful death) but split the wrongful death share equally between Miller and Barbara Streif, giving nothing to Constance.
