ESTATE OF RUPERT PETERS, Deceased (549A2004/D) — The administrator, the decedent’s spouse, seeks to distribute the remaining proceeds of causes of action settled in the Supreme Court, New York County, before a Special Master, which are being held in her attorneys’ escrow account. The causes of action arose from the decedent’s exposure to asbestos. The supreme court order, inter alia, directed the payment of attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The decedent died intestate on April 18, 2004. His distributees are the petitioner and a son. Similar applications were previously approved. Under the circumstances presented, including the consents of the son and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, and the lack of any unsatisfied debts or claims presented herein, the court grants the request to allocate 20 percent of the net distributable proceeds to the personal injury cause of action and the balance to the wrongful death cause of action. The funds allocated to personal injury are to be paid to the administrator. The funds allocated to wrongful death are to be paid pursuant to the formula enunciated in Matter of Kaiser, 198 Misc 582 [Sur Ct, Kings County 1950]), as follows: 98.3 percent to the spouse and 1.7 percent to the son. The restrictions imposed upon the administrator and her counsel shall remain in full force and effect with regard to any remaining defendants and causes of action. Decree signed. October 4, 2024
