RUTH K. SCHNABEL, ET AL., respondents, v. CAROL SCHULTZ HUGGINS, ETC., appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

With respect to that branch of her motion which was to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against the estate of Carl Shultz, the defendant asserted that the action was untimely pursuant to SCPA 1810 because it was not commenced within 60 days of the denial by the fiduciary of the estate of the plaintiffs' claim for the same damages ( see Lazan v. City of New York, 213 A.D.2d 381). However, in support of that branch of her motion, the defendant failed to proffer competent evidence in admissible form that such a claim was made and denied within the meaning of SCPA article 18 ( see SCPA §§ 1803, 1806; Lazan v. City of New York, supra).

In support of that branch of her motion which was to dismiss the complaint insofar as asserted against the estate of Margaret Schultz, the defendant failed to proffer competent evidence in admissible form that she was not a personal representative of that estate ( see EPTL 11-3.1, 11-3.2; Matter of Outing v. Mathis, 304 A.D.2d 670; Waldman v. Mechanical Sys., 294 A.D.2d 354).

RITTER, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, CRANE and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
