Kay v. Swartz (In re Estate of Kanevsky)
Florida District Court of Appeal
506 So. 2d 1101 (1987)
- Written by Liz Nakamura, JD
Facts
Jacob Kanevsky died intestate. Kanevsky had no children and was predeceased by his brother, Nathan. Nathan had two children, Paul Kay (plaintiff) and Zena. Zena and her husband adopted Perry Swartz (defendant), who thereby became Kanevsky’s grandnephew. Zena predeceased Kanevsky. Zena’s husband subsequently remarried, and his new wife adopted Swartz. The trial court held that Swartz was entitled to inherit from Kanevsky’s intestate estate through his deceased mother, Zena. Kay appealed.
