THE HONORABLE P.VINCENT MARINO,Judge
of the said Cou rt.
JOSEPHC.RALSTON,ESQ.,of McDonald,Pa.
representing :he Accountant.
Monday,September 13,1971,at 1:30 o'clock
P.M.,EDST .
Number 345 ·)f 1970,the estate of Irma C.
If the Court please,I have the necessary papers
in this case.This decedent,a widow,left a specific legacy or a
dev se of real estate and left the balance to six residua~legatees.
One of these legatees predeceased the decedent and was unrr.arried
and had no issue.Her estate,Miss Frances Downey's estate has
been settled by Your HLJnorable Court.So there are five remaindero,en.
These are all--most of these are up in age.And I sent out the
2
notices and on one particular one,got a return letter that the gentle an
was deceased.That is John A.Taylor.However,I later wrote to hi
daughter and tgot a letter back from her dated August 26,stating tha
her father is very much alive.She visited with him on August 15-16
at the nursing home,is now 95 yec.rs of age and a bit infirm.So
these are all alive.I have the Federal Estate Tax Return with their
!i!:~letter enclosing their type of receipt.We have paid it all out.
oJ..
fl~The only problem that I can foresee is concerning the devise
oilJ.
Z:>of the real estate to a very dear friend and a young lady that took ca e
"'z~of her for many years,took care of the decedent for many years.T e
0(
~
decedent was in need of further cash,monthly cash.so in 1966---h r Will
had been made out in '65---but in '66 she entered into an agreement
for the purchase of this land by this young lady,Mrs.Romitti,and
her daughter and son-in-law also entered into this;and the idea was
vi~to give the decedent a monthly income.So we fixed it by the tables..a:o~that the prospective buyer should pay $1,000 down and it turned out,..a:g I think $84.84 a month for 20 years.u
oJ0(u THE COURT:Is that a different person from the one to whom i
ii:...o
was devised?
MR.RALSTON:It was an undivided one-half to Mrs.Gladys
Romitti,but the other one,the other undivided one-half was to go
to the daughter and son-in-law of Mrs.homitti.They did that just
in order to assure that they would have enough income to do it.But
she left the entire remainder then to Mrs.Romitti.Mrs.Romitti is
here in €ourt.I was looking it over at the last minute and I am
sure that she will heartily agree that if you will make a Decree in fa'or
of herself and the daughter and son-in-law,that I can prepare the
necessary papers in order to get this done if you are so minded.I
have a copy of the description.I don't have one of the original copies
of the Article of Agreement but the description is here with the terms
on it.==~>...)-

Well,they are willing to abide by that?
Well,the legacy was left to the one woman that
So thatyou are stating that that would simply rul
the Article of Agreement out,the efficacy of that agreement .is rea y
a nullity now.
MR.RALSTON:Yes,sir.
THE COURT:And we would :::,ecognize that she does get the
remainder and she would be getting it now in fee simple.
MR.RALSTON:That's the thing that I would think.
THE COURT:
MR.RALSTON:
All right.We will consider that,Mr.Ralston.
The person in question is he re in Court and if
4
you Id like to examine her further as to if she can take it in her own
name and the name of her daughter and son-in-law or if she should
get the remaining interes t and they can settle it up among themselves,
it was merely a matter of getting the daughter and son-in-law into
ii,I believe,in order 10 assure enough income thai Ihey---after all'1
there were two houses and the daughter was living in one house.And
so it.was just in order to spread tte payments.
THE COURT:Well,the factual situation is not in dis pute.I don It
see that we need to interrogate them here.It's a question of whether
the provision of the Will fits in with the rest of it.We will just have
to determine that.
MR.RALSTON:Yes.And she will be glad to sign anything that
would make the title good.
