In the Matter of the Accounting of L. Lawrence Green, as of Julia Braier, Millie K. Kalmane, as Legatee

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the surrogate's order to deposit a Hungarian legatee's blocked funds with the city treasurer under Section 269 of the Surrogate's Court Act, holding that the statute is not preempted by the Trading with the Enemy Act, does not conflict with the U.S.-Hungary treaty, does not violate the Commerce Clause, was properly applied, and does not deprive the legatee of due process.
