Appellate Division, Second Department Justice Sandra Sgroi on Friday stayed conflicting surrogate court proceedings in Brooklyn and Staten Island over a woman’s $8 million estate until the appellate court decides where the woman was domiciled.

Sgroi allowed some taxes to be paid on the estate but left most of it in the hands of Brooklyn public administrator Bruce Stein, according to Richard LaRosa of Passarello & LaRosa, who represents Staten Island public administrator Gary Gotlin.
