Matter of Pergament

In Matter of Pergament, 204 Misc. 384 (Surr. Ct. NY Co., 1953), affirmed, 383 AD 869 (1st Dept., 1954) a bequest to the widow of personal effects, household effects, automobiles and other tangible property, whether located at the present address or elsewhere at the time of decedent's demise, did not include cash found in a safe deposit box. The court found that the enumerated items were all associated with the decedent's residence (current residence or residence at the time of his death) and that the safe deposit box was not associated with such residence.
