In the Matter of the Estate of Alvin I. Mindes, Philip I. Weinisch, Appellant Joanne Mindes
In a proceeding for an accounting of a decedent’s estate, the objectant appeals from a decree of the Surrogate’s Court, Rockland County (Berliner, S.), dated May 1, 2007, which, after a nonjury trial, and upon an order of the same court dated September 6, 2006, in effect, dismissed his objections to probate and judicially settled the account. Ordered that the decree is affirmed, with costs.
The Surrogate’s Court correctly determined that the appellant received his fair portion of the proceeds from the sale of his business with the decedent pursuant to the partnership agreement (see generally Matter of Tract, 284 AD2d 543 [2001]). Accordingly, the appellant’s objections to probate were properly dismissed. Lifson, J.P., Ritter, Angiolillo and Balkin, JJ., concur.
