This case concerns the rights of children to elect against an excessive charitable disposition (EPTL 5-3.3), in view of a claimed disinheritance provision in the will. As such, it stands in what is becoming a discernible line of reported cases struggling with the effects of Matter of Cairo (35 A.D.2d 76, unanimously affd. without opn. 29 N.Y.2d 527).
