Matter of Scheiner
New York Surrogate Court
535 N.Y.S.2d 920 (1988)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
David Scheiner bought United States Treasury bills jointly for himself and his sister. Subsequently, Scheiner married. The United States Treasury adopted regulations likening Treasury bills to United States savings bonds and thus enabling such bills to pass outside of a surviving spouse’s elective-share rights. Upon Scheiner’s death, his wife sought to include the Treasury bills in Scheiner’s estate for purposes of her elective share.
