HIRS ATTORNEY AT LAW 534 McKEAN AVENUE DONORA, PENNSYLVA I:?-J -L;9 ( :--I r;-1 u CH NIA in place of decedent, and on April 20th, 1967, the said Court ordered that Betty Holloway, who qualified as Administratrix of the Estate of Tiletha A. Reynolds, deceased, be substituted in her place as Defendant. This action was settled and your Petitioner received the sum of $1,045.00 as Administratrix of the Estate of Hattie Howard, Deceased, this amount being the net proceeds of the settlement after payment of attorney's fees and cost of procuring hospital records of decedent. The settlement was approved by the Court of Common Pleas at No. 389 September Term, 1966, A.D., following Petition for Permission to Compromise filed by the Administratrix; a copy of said Order is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B". No wages were paid to the Petitioner or anr other person under the provisions of Section 201 of the Fiduciaries Act of 1949, as amended. The personal property held by your Petitioner as Administ~atrix is in the form of cash and is subject to a claim for family exemption on behalf of the three children of the decedent who resided with her at tte time of her death. 6. Your Petitioner has made no ··inquiry concerning unpaid creditors, it being apparent that the expenses of administration and the family exemption claim vlill exhaust the assets of the estate. 7. Your Petitioner proposes that the personal property in her hands be distributed in the following manner: Arnold W. Hirsch, Repay cost of Letters and Bond, Thelma V. Sanders, Administratrix' Commission, Arnold W. Hirsch, Attorney's fee for settlement of small estate, Russell Marino, Register, filing this Petition, Thelma V.

Since no guardian has ever been appointed for either the estate or the persons of the said minors, it is proposed that Thelma V. Sanders, the grandmother of said minors, be appointed Guardian b,y an Order requiring the said Guardian todeposit the minors' funds in a restricted account in a bank , .. ·~ or savings and loan association, from which account no withdrawals shall be made during the minority of the said mihors, except upon Order of Court. 9. The proposed Guardian has no interest adverse to the minors, and is not the fiduciary or an officer or employee of the corporate fiduciary of an estate in which the minors have an interest, nor the surety or an officer or employee of the corporate sure·ty of such a fiduciary. )1HEREFORE, Petitioner prays that your Honorable Court order distribution of the above estate under the provisions of Sections 202 and 211 of the Fiduciaries Act of 1949, P.L. 512, as amended, in the manner proposed in paragraphs 7 and 8 above.
