99 A.D.3d 573 (2012)

952 N.Y.S.2d 194

2012 NY Slip Op 6900

In the Matter of ALVIN ROSENTHAL et al., as Trustees on Behalf of the HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST. THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS et al., Proposed Interveners-Appellants; DAVID PANZIRER et al., Respondents.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.

October 16, 2012.


There is no merit to movants' assertion that the Surrogate lacked the jurisdiction to decide the trustees' petition in the proceeding underlying this application. On the contrary, the Surrogate's Court's jurisdiction encompasses all matters that affect the affairs of a decedent (Matter of Piccione, 57 N.Y.2d 278, 287 [1982]). Thus, there is no basis to vacate the order underlying movants' application.
