J-A18006-18 2018 PA Super 358 THE ESTATE OF PHILIP F. YOUNG AND BRINTON YOUNG, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF PHILIP F. YOUNG Appellants v. ROBERT LOUIS, ESQUIRE AND SAUL EWING, LLP : : : : : : : : : : : : : IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA No. 2898 EDA 2017 Appeal from the Order Dated August 2, 2017 In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County Civil Division at No(s): June Term, 2015, NO. 01733 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. ____________________________________ * Former Justice specially assigned to the Superior Court. ** Retired Senior Judge assigned to the Superior Court.
