August 31, 2022 – M&H Wins Two Reversals in Kings County Guardianship Proceeding Brought Under Mental Hygiene Law Article 81

In a guardianship proceeding pursuant to Mental Hygiene Law Article 81, the Appellate Division, Second Department, in accordance with M&H’s arguments on appeal, reversed two lower court orders, finding that the guardian “lacked the authority” under Mental Hygiene Law 81.44 to pay $255,000 to the petitioner out of the guardianship estate, and also setting aside an attorney-fee award against the appellant.
