A Surrogate abused his discretion by denying an
administratrix’s petition seeking approval of a supplemental needs trust (SNT)
based on the entire amount of the settlement proceeds she was receiving from a
wrongful death action as the proposed SNT complied with EPTL 7-1.12(a)(5) and
she was a disabled adult under 65 years of age.
