Opinion
February 19, 1985
Appeal from the Surrogate's Court, Kings County (Bloom, S.).
Decree affirmed, with costs payable personally by appellant.
The determination of this case hinged on the credibility of the witnesses, and the findings of the Surrogate, who presided at the trial and heard all of the testimony, are entitled to great weight ( Matter of Anonymous, 81 A.D.2d 865, 866; Matter of Gloria S. v Richard B., 80 A.D.2d 72, 76).
We decline to disturb the findings of the Surrogate, that the testator had sufficient testamentary capacity on the date of the execution of the will, that the will was validly executed, and that it was not procured by undue influence. Mangano, J.P., Weinstein, Brown and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
