United States Second Circuit

In a choice-of-law action arising out of wills and estates dispute, the district court’s grant of summary judgment to defendant is vacated and the case remanded following the New York Court of Appeals’ answer to a certified question. The panel held that the district court erroneously applied Colorado law rather than New York law when construing New York Estates, Powers & Trusts section 2-5.1(b)(2).
