In Glassman v. Cohen, the Appellate Division, Second Department affirmed an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, which denied a petition and dismissed a proceeding for arbitration.

The petitioner alleged that he and the respondents were the children of the decedents, who died in the years 2003 and 2014, respectively. The petition requested that the respondents be compelled to arbitrate all disputes among them related to their deceased parents’ estates, and more particularly, a trust created by their mother. An answer was filed by one of the respondents, who alleged that matters related to the distribution of an estate were not arbitrable. Annexed to the answer was a decree of the Surrogate’s Court, Kings County, admitting the mother’s will to probate, a compulsory accounting petition with respect to the estate, and a citation in that proceeding directing the petitioner to show cause why he should not be required to file an accounting with respect to the subject trust. In response to the foregoing, the Supreme Court denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding, and the petitioner appealed.
