Matrimonial Stipulation

Boardman v. Kennedy
CA 12-01742
Appealed from Supreme Court, Ontario County

Background: The plaintiff, the ex-wife of the decedent, commenced an action against the decedent’s widow as executrix of the decedent’s estate. The plaintiff alleged that, pursuant to a matrimonial stipulation, she was entitled to one-half interest in an individual retirement account owned by the decedent. The defendant’s motion to dismiss was granted.

Ruling: The Appellate Division affirmed. The plaintiff’s claim against the IRA was governed by the six-year statute of limitations and was untimely. The plaintiff’s other causes of action based in fraud and unjust enrichment were also untimely.

E. Robert Fussell for the plaintiff-appellant; John E. Tyo of Zimmerman & Tyo for the defendant-respondent
