Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly determined that the two joint bank accounts held in the names of the defendant, Beata Storozynski, and her former husband, the now-deceased George Storozynski, were the property of the decedent's estate. "While there is a presumption that the parties to a joint account are each entitled to an equal share (Banking Law § 675), it is well settled that the presumption is not conclusive and may be rebutted by evidence showing that the depositor established the account for convenience and not with the intention of conferring a present beneficial interest on the party claiming the half share" ( Matter of Friedman, 104 AD2d 366, 367, affd 64 NY2d 743). On this record, the statutory presumption was successfully rebutted ( see Viggiano v Viggiano, 136 AD2d 630; Wacikowski v Wacikowski, 93 AD2d 885), and thus the defendant was not entitled to the funds in the two bank accounts.
