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.
