THE COURT: est3.te first. MR.ZELT: Mr.Zelt,we will take the matter of the Girdish I May it please the Court,this is the time set for; 2 the sale of a certain tract'of acreage owned by Joseph Girdish befJre he died and now in his estate.My father and I had represen~ed the Administrator,George Girdish,who is sitting here at the counsel table.And we had prepared a Petition w,ith what'we thought was in ~....' accordance with the rules of'the Orphans I Court for a private sale of real estate and presented it,and this time was set where people codd come and object,overbid or whatever they wanted to do. We sent certified copies 0:notices to all of the heirs,being Dore or less ten children of the decedent. Jones &Laughlin is represented by Attorney Allison who is here.And we"!J.~drhade an agreeme.nt with "them 'to sell half of the acreage,i.e._a tract of·about 20 acres to J &L for the sum of $10,000.Eince that ttme,namely about the end of last week,the Administra:or came into my office with his brother, and the Administrator advised me that he no longer wished to continue as Administrator.He act'jally,apparently has been harassed by his brothers and sisters ever since the decision to sell was made. And he also no longer wishes to submit the property for sale.Thus. I have prepared a Petition.I would ask the Court to allow Mr. Girdish to withdraw as Administrator.., I have 3.1so prepared a Petition to ask the Court t'iI 3 to allow the Administrator to withdraw the proposed property for sale. .THE COURT:In the Petition,Mr.Zelt.thac you have to withdraw the property for sale.you state that the reason for such is that the heirs in this estate do not desire to have the subject property sold at the present time.Now is that a proper reason for ., withdrawing the property:;,from sale?We'd like to.know something about the financial situation in this estat -e and whether or not it is incumbent upon an.:Administrator,whoever he might be,tod:.spose of the property"in order to set1tJteup the est~te.The facts in tha~ res pect have not been brou.ght to the attention of the Court and we,. donI t know them....... ZELT: ",. Well~=agree that the Administrator shou:"datte Inpt to liquidate the assets in"2n estate and have the creditors paid / and the money distributed to ,the heirs.·1 d<;m'.t have any law on the -.. cases or any statutes.I only know what th'ey tell me.I -got a phone can just before I came over here'.It was the daughter of one -of thE heirs that's in the hos-;>ital and she said he;'mother didn't want it sold because the price wasn't right.Mr.John Girdish,wh-J is -here,says that he feels that it was dear property of their dad and .~~ thEy'd rather just have it sit there in their estate.I don't kn:'w. This is the only'reason I can give is that they don't want to sell it. Whether or not it's the price or,the fact that it was in their family,: ", I dDn't know what all the reasons are.So that I simply can sUlbmit i 4 to the Court.This is where we stand and let the Court do what 1: feEls it should. THE COURT:As cou·nsel has already stated,the purpose of an administration is to wbd up the affairs of an estate.And we certainly can't dis pense with that requirementsjust because one of ~..:( >.J:-Il..... lJII. the heirs or more might be neluctant to dispose of real estate that has been in the family name for some time.If the settlemen::of the estate can be effected properly without resort to the sale of real estate,that's one story.But if it cannot,it's another.So tha tIs what the Court was really inquiring about.We don It know at this juncture what the financial status of the estate is and whethEr 0 not it would be required teo sell real estate in order to liquidate fhe estate.That's what wei;lsikould know at this time. ~MR.ZELT:Well,fhere are certain expenses in the estate. ca l5 I have no claims.I don't think Mr.Girdish would make a claiml-ll:oa.~as Executor.Torrance Hcspital has made a claim against thE estat l-ll:f:THE COURT:On what grounds? ~MR.ZELT: IIc One of the heirs,one of the children was a daug ler. ShE went in Torrance in 1934 and she's been there ever since.So that they decided even though there seemed to be the possibility of being other assets,that they could have satisfied their claim unc.er the statutes that provide that a father should take care ::>f his chHdren and pay state hos?ital bills.They have made a claim. They are represented by Peacock,Keldier &Yohe,who is not here Nevertheless,they are,at least they believe they are a creditor of and probably doesn't need to be for the sale of the real es tate.

And we didn't have no intentions of selling this place or liquidating it ":Jecause we went through the worse when we could use the money. And now we're past that worse.And we've come to the conclusion that we would just leave it sit there and if we have to appoint a trustee, we did appoint our younger brother as trustee.And he thought--- we have a litigation.with Jones &Laughlin.They took over the place, roughshod all over _the place and never reimbursed my mother and fath.er for nothing.They damaged property;they damaged ani:nals. And they've never reimbur_sed a penny;they've never got a release for trespassing.They have a right to mine their coal,but I know what the contract is on mining rights.They have never fulfilled any of .tha:mining right contract on the surface and we felt they owed us sooething. So my brother .thought that he would take them to Court to litigation.And somebody told hi m that he'd have to hav authority to do that.That's true.So I in turn took it on myself and had copies of a PC?wer of Attorney and each one.I sent each one a cOJ=y of that Power of Attorney so signed.I sent it by certified mail to my brother George to represent us in this particular ::natte But he went right on ahead,appointed hims elf administrator accor ng to the law,which is perfectly legal.He got two people that were residents in the state to sign for him.
