  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

  Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions  of  section  4-1.1  of  the

proceeds  of  the estate of Howard J. Geyer, county of Suffolk (file No.

of  the  state  of  New  York,  to  any  person who can trace a familial

Persons  entitled  to the proceeds of such estate, pursuant to this act,
shall first be determined through a kinship hearing to be  conducted  by
the surrogate's court of the county of Suffolk. As a condition precedent
to distribution of the funds by the state comptroller, all persons enti-
tled  to the proceeds of such estate, as determined by the kinship hear-
ing, shall present to the state comptroller a binding  legal  agreement,
providing  for the apportionment of the proceeds of such estate plus any
interest accrued, executed by all persons entitled to the proceeds.  The
state  comptroller shall not make any payment until such agreement shall
have been filed with both the surrogate's court of  Suffolk  County  and
the state comptroller.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
