~THE COURT: Number 1145 of 1969, the estate of Frank F. Kotler,

~ MR. PEACOCK: May it please the Court, we have here all the
necessary papers. This is a formula will. And we have recited in t~e
Audit Petition, we have a copy of the Federal Estate Tax Return, tP.at
the figures on the RCC 33 and the figures of jointly-owned property
in the Federal Estate Tax Return are proper figures to be used as
the widow's part of her-one-half outright for her marital deduction.
And the lifeinsurance as set forth in the Federal Estate Tax Retur~,

together with the exhibits from the various insurance companies
are also attached. It is proper to be used in computing her marital
deduction. There are 500 shares of Equitable Gas and if she is
entitled, she is given a life estate in all of the real estate, which
goes txm to the other part of the estate which would normally be in t e
trust. She wants to take as much of the Equitable Gas stock as poss 'ble,
as a part of her rn:ro.rital deduction, in the event that is greater tha
the amount that she has already received.

a reaward in the Federal Estate Tax?
PEACOCK: Oh, yes. We should have a reaward in this case
because there is real estate. We should have a reaward in this cas
of $5,000. There are a number of pieces of real estate and there
is one thing that I should mention. There is one piece of property
it
in Fayette County. We have/set forth at a value of $45, 000. We
have taken credit for almost $6, 000 for rewiring that building.
That contract was left prior to the death of the decedent and the
work started but no payments were made. So we treated the
appraisal as if the building had been rewired. And we treated the
expense of rewiring as an !indebtedness of the estate. There are
two separate deductions taken for it to make up for the total
of this contract.
THE COURT: Yes, as long as you don't dupliC:-afue and take the
same thing as a deduction and then take it again as you have explai ed

MR. PEACOCK: No. We explained that. We included the value of
the buW::ling as rewired on our appraisal, and explained that to the
state authorities. And that's also set forth in the Federal Estate T x
Return and explained that we are taking the deduction for this acco t
that was given prior to his death.
THE COURT: Are there any claims of any kind, Mr. Peacock?
MR. PEA COCK: No, there are no claims.
THE COURT: Is there anyone else in Court interested in this
decedent's estate?

Darren Kotler reside with the natural father Eve~ett Gerald Kotle
at the above address. Jody Kotler, Joel Kotler and Jared Kotler
are the children of Everett Gerald Kotler and Judith Ann Kotler,
now Gruber and reside \vith Judith Ann Gruber and Stanley Gruber
at the above address.
1:1. At the time the ~,Jill was written and at decedent's
death it i,-Jas the intention of the decedent that the money in the
trust would be invested and hopefully grow to a larger sum to be
distributed to the children and grandchildren as well as produc-
ing income for the benefit of the decedent's wife, Roselyn Kotler
Cooper. HovJever, due to market conditions and other factors the
value of the trust has diminished from approximately $23,000 to
approximately $7,500 prompting the beneficiaries Jf the trust to
consider the appointment of new trustees. In ·addition, certain
administration expenses continued to be changed by Equibank N.A.
in regard to the administration of this trust.
12. Petitioner is therefore requesting that Everett
Gerald Kotler be appointed Substitute Trustee in place of Equi-
bank N.A. and that upon the death of Roselyn Kotler Cooper that
Eileen Stern be appointed Substitute Trustee in the place of
Roselyn Kotler Cooper at her death.
13.. The Substitute Trustee having an income interest
in the trust at his mother's death and his children having both
an income and remainder interest it is submitted Lhat no bond
should be required of the Trustees.
I~EREFORE, Petitioner prays that this Honorable Court
enter an Order appointing Everett Gerald Kotler Substitute
Trustee without bond pursuant to Section 7101 of the Probate
Estates and Fiduciaries Code and directing the or~ginal Trustee
Equibank N.A. to file an account and to make distribution to the
new Trustee as requested in this Petition with notice to the
beneficiaries of said trust of this prouosed action as this Cour -L
-4-
r
may deem appropriate.

P:STITION
No. 63-69-1145
AND NOTtJ, comes Roselyn Kotler Cooper, Executrix of the
Estate of Frank F. Kotler, Deceased, by her attorneys, Peacock,
Keller, Yohe, Day & Ecker by Kenneth L. Baker, Esquire and does
petition Your Honorable Court as follows:
1. Frank F. Kotler died on October 17, 1969 survived
by his wife, Roselyn Kotler, a ·son, Dr. Everett Gerald Kotler and
a daughter, Elaine Stern. A copy of the Will is attached as Exhibit "A".
2. Letters Testamentary were granted to Roselyn Kotler
on October 28, 1969 by the Register of \.-Jills of Washington County.
3. During the administration of the estate an inven-
tory was filed showing certain property in Connellsville,
Fayette County, Pennsylvania being described as being part. of
' I !
·.
Lot Nos. 100 and 108 in the original plan of Connellsville,
Fayette County, Pennsylvania being at the corner of North Pitts-
burgh Street and Orchard Alley. A copy of the inventory is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incor"'Jorated by reference
herein.
4. On ~arch 15, 1971 The Honorable P. V. Marino signed
an Adjudication and Decree which included the distribution of
the afore described real estate in Connellsville, Fayette County,
Pennsylvania to Roselyn Kotler, widow for life under the terms
of the Hill of Frank F. Kotler, deceased. A copy of the Adjudi-
cation and Decree is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incor-
porated by reference herein.
5. The \.<Jill of Frank F. Kotler, deceased provided
that the real estate would be held by his rtJidow for life, the
proceeds if sold to placed in a trust to be administered by
Equibank, NA and Roselyn Kotler as co-trustees. Everett Gerald
Kotler, has since been appointed sub-stitute trustee for said
trust.
6. Roselyn Kotler, now Roselyn Kotler Cooper has
executed an agreement of sale with the Connellsville Printing
Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, at 121 West Apple Street,
Connellsville, Pennsylvania for the purchase of the Connellsvile
property. Upon execution of said agreement it was discovered
.,-2-
that the legal description contained in the inventory and the
Adjudication and Decree of the Estate of Frank F. Kotler is not
correct but describes another parcel of land which was not owned
by Frank F. Kotler at the time of h±s death.
7. The Pennsylvania inheritance tax value, the federal
estate tax value and the administration of the estate all involve
a piece of property located at the corner of Meadow Lane and
Apple Street in the City of Connellsville, Fayette County, a
complete description being attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and
incorporated by reference herein.
8. Your petitioner do·es therefore request that Your
Honorable Court correct the Adjudication and Decree of March 15,
1971 and the Inventory filed in the Estate of Frank F. Kotler to
reflect the proper legal description of the property owned by
the Estate and distributed to Roselyn Kotler for life under the
terms of the Will of Frank F. Kotler by changing said description
to read as set forth in. Exhibit "D". It is further requested
that the Court sign a supplemental Adjudication and Decree re-
flecting this correction and that the Court authorize the
recording of a corrected Certification of Real Estate in the
Recorder 1s Office of Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
9. Notice of this petition to correct the description
of the aforesaid property has been sent to the Pennsylvania
.,-3-
..
•.
Inheritance Tax Office and a request for an administrative
correction in respect thereto has been made.
WHEREFORE, your petitioner does hereby request that
Your Honorable Court amend the inventory filed by her as
Executrix and the Adjudication and Decree dated March 15, 1971
to reflect the correct description of the property in the City of
Connellsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania as reflected on
Exhibit "D".

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
In re:
TRUST UNDER THE
WILL OF FRANK F. KOTLER,
Deceased.
PETITION TO AMEND THE FRANK F. KOTLER TRUST
Petitioner, EILEEN STERN, by and through her attorneys, Peacock, Keller & Ecker,
LLP, respectfully petitions this Honorable Court to amend the Frank F. Kotler Trust, and
therefore respectfully represents that:
1. Petitioner is the surviving co-trustee of the Frank F. Kotler Trust, said Trust
currently having a value of approximately $245,000 which shall ultimately be distributed among
Frank F. Kotler's nine (9) grandchildren.
2. On October 17, 1969 Frank F. Kotler died leaving a Last Will and Testament and
codicil to said Last Will and Testament which were offered and admitted to probate by the
Register of Wills, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Frank F. Kotler's \ViJl established a Trust
for the purpose of benefitting his wife and children with Trust income, and benefitting his
grandchildren with Trust income for five years and then distributing the Trust's principal to his
grandchildren. Said Trust named Western Pennsylvania National Bank, later known as Equibank
N.A., as the co-trustee with Roselyn Kotler, the wife of the decedent. Copies of said Will and
Codicil are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B.
3. Upon consideration of a petition from Roselyn Kotler, on April 23, 1980, this
Honorable Court ordered Everett Gerald Kotler, the son of Frank and Roselyn Kotler, to replace
N:\WPDATA\ESTATE\K-0\21494hem.p01 (rev. 7128/08 mdl)
' l '
Equibank N.A. as co-trustee with Roselyn Kotler, and that upon the death of Roselyn Kotler,
Eileen Kotler Stem, the daughter of Frank and Roselyn Kotler, would take Roselyn Kotler's place
as co-trustee. A copy of this order is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
4. The Frank F. Kotler testamentary Trust, at Item IV(5) specified that "[a]fter the
d~ath of both of my ... children [Everett Gerald Kotler and Eileen Stem], I direct that the income
from the trust be paid to my grandchildren per capita for a period of five years at which time I
direct that the principal thereof shall be distributed to my grandchildren per capita, share and
share alike."
5. Roselyn Kotler died on February 23, 1998, and Petitioner became co-trustee of the
Frank F. Kotler Trust with her brother, Everett Gerald Kotler.
6. Everett Gerald Kotler died on May 15, 2008, leaving Petitioner as the surviving
co-trustee and no substitute co-trustee has been appointed to serve with Petitioner.
7. The surviving beneficiaries ofthe said Trust are as follows:
(a) Children of Frank F. Kotler:
(1) Eileen Stem
(b) Grandchildren of Frank F. Kotler:
(1) Jeffrey Stem
(2) Rhonda Stem
(3) Deborah Stem Hobson
(4) Caren Stem Duford
(5) Linda Kotler McDonnell
( 6) Darren Kotler
(7) Jody Kotler
(8) Joel Kotler
· ..
N:\WPDATA\ESTATE\K-0\21494hem.p01 (rev. 7/28/08 mdl)
(9) Jared Kotler
8. All beneficiaries are of the age of majority.
9. All beneficiaries have consented that Eileen Stem shall serve as sole trustee of the·
Trust, that no co-trustee shall be named to serve with Eileen Stem, and that upon the death of
Eileen Stem the Trust shall terminate and the principal shall be distributed per capita to the
grandchildren of Frank F. Kotler. All grandchildren of Frank F. Kotler understand and agree
that if a grandchild of Frank F. Kotler dies prior to distribution of the Trust, the deceased
grandchild's share shall pass to his or her surviving issue per stirpes. Notarized consents for each
beneficiary are attached hereto as Exhibits D through M.
10. Under the Pennsylvania Uniform Trust Act, at 20 Pa.C.S.A. § 7740.l(b), a
noncharitable irrevocable trust may be modified upon the consent of all the trust's beneficiaries if
the Court concludes that the modification is not inconsistent with a material purpose of the trust.
11. As noted above, at the death of Roselyn Kotler, the purpose of the Trust was to
provide Trust income to Frank F. Kotler's children, and upon the death of both children, to
ultimately distribute the Trust principal to Frank F. Kotler's grandchildren. The requested
modifications will not change this outcome, but will merely cause the Trust to terminate and
immediately be distributed to the grandchildren of Frank F. Kotler without paying Trust income
to the grandchildren for a period of five years after Eileen Stem's death, to which all ofthe
grandchildren have consented.
12. Eileen Stem is currently 74 years old and according to the United States
Department of Health and Human Services National Vital Statistics Reports, she has a life
expectancy of 14 more years. The grandchildren range in age from approximateiy 30 to 55 years,
and if the Trust continues for an additional five years after Eileen Stem's death, there is a greater
N:\WPDATA\ESrATE\K-0\21494hem.p01 (rev. 7/28/08 mdl)
risk that several of the grandchildren, who are intended to receive the trust principal, will die
prior to the distribution of the Trust.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court enter an order amending
the Frank F. Kotler Trust so that Eileen Stern can serve as sole trustee of the Trust without a co-
trustee being appointed, and ordering the termination and distribution of the trust upon the death
of Eileen Stern.
Respectfully Submitted,
Peacock Keller & Ecker, LLP

Estate of Frank F. Kotler
File No. 63-69-1145
County of Washington
Pursuant to the prov1s1ons of Section 1001 (1) of the Inheritance and
Estate Tax Act of 1961, a PROTEST is filed against the action of the Register
of Wills of \·fashington County on 1<1arch ll, 1971 allowing several items
claimed on the Statement of Debts and Deductions filed in the subject decedent's
estate.
Specifically, objection is made to the allowance of the following:
1. Peacock, Keller, Yohe & Day $9,730.85
2. Hollywood Plumbing . 340.75
3. Kurtz Honument Com~y --1,315.00
Protestant contends the claim of Peacock, Keller, Yohe & Day for
account's attorrley's.is improper unless the estate can substantiate this
was a~ actual debt.of the decedent, Frank Kotler.
Based on our record, item #2 is not deductible because it is plumbing
expenses incurred subsequent to Mr. Kotler's death on October 17, 1969.
With respect t·o the Register of Wills allowance of $1,315.00 for cost
of a monument, Protestant contends this figure does not meet the test of
reasonableness within the meaning of the 1961 Act. The "reasonableness" of
such an expense is dependent on the decedent's station in life and the size
of his estate.
Taking into consideration the decedent's gross estate, including
property owned jointly with his surviving wife, it is the Protestant's posi-.
tion that the maximum allowance for cost of a monument should not exceed $900.00.
