BEFORE: STABILE, J., STEVENS*, P.J.E., and STRASSBURGER**, J.
CONCURRING OPINION BY STRASSBURGER, J.:FILED DECEMBER 31, 2018
I join the learned Majority. The quote often attributed, perhaps
incorrectly, to Albert Einstein, “insanity is doing the same thing and expecting
a different result” is wisdom, regardless of who said it. I was the author of
the panel opinion of the Superior Court in Estate of Agnew v. Ross, 110
A.3d 1020 (Pa. Super. 2015) rev’d 152 A.3d 247 (Pa. 2017), a case noted by
the Majority here as remarkably similar to this case. The panel of this Court
in Agnew found standing for the purported beneficiaries. Our Supreme Court
reversed. I will not do the same thing again, expecting a different result.
Judge Stabile joins the concurring opinion.
