§ 709. Objection to grant of letters or appointment of lifetime trustee

Any person interested, including a nominated fiduciary, before letters

are granted to another fiduciary or the surrogate's court appoints a

trustee of a lifetime trust, may file objections showing his or her

interest in the estate and stating one or more of the legal objections

set forth in 707 to granting the letters to or the appointment of one or

more of the persons about to receive them or to be appointed. Where such

objections are filed the court may stay the granting of letters to or

the appointment of the person against whom the objection is made until

the matter is determined.
