Opinion
June 24, 1991
Appeal from the Surrogate's Court, Westchester County (Brewster, S.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs payable by the appellant.
The disqualification of the law firm representing the petitioner was proper since an attorney must avoid not only the fact, but also the appearance of representing conflicting interests (see, Horowitz v Horowitz, 151 A.D.2d 646). Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Rosenblatt and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
