In the Matter of the Estate of Marguerite Alexander, Deceased. Central Hanover Bank and Trust Company, as Executor of Marguerite Alexander, Deceased, Respondent; Elise Vennereau, Appellant.
[MAJORITY]
Upon all the evidence it is clear that a gift inter vivos from the decedent to her brother, Charles Liebre, was intended and effectuated. Consequently the appellant, as sole legatee of Charles Liebre, is the lawful owner of the stock. Decree unanimously reversed and the petition dismissed, with costs. Settle order on notice. Present — Cohn, J. P., Callahan, Yan Yoorhis, Shientag and Heffernan, JJ.
