In Matter of Duffy (208 AD2d 1169), the Appellate Division, Third Department, affirmed a decree of the Rockland County Surrogate, which had allocated the settlement proceeds of a wrongful death action equally among decedent's nine children, who ranged in age from 19 to 30. In doing so, the Third Department recognized that "adult children are not precluded from sharing in wrongful death proceeds ..." (supra at 1170).
