Dear John: This is to confirm our conversation of April 27,1972.On that date the Deed from Emil A.Eckert,Executor,to Richard L.Riley, et ux.was recorded. The consideration for the property was $5200.00.Considering that much money and work had been expended on the property since the decedent's death,this reflects a loss,if anything,rather than a gain,subject to Inheritance Tax.For the purpose of making your Decree of Distribution,you should show a non-taxable increase of $368.00 in the gross estate,being the $200.00 gain on sale of the real estate,rent for March and April in the sum of $80.00 and insurance premium refundin the sum of $88.00. Rather than go to the trouble of preparing a new statement of Debts and Expenses,and having it executed by Mr.Eckert,following which it would have to be notarized,I have prepared a Supplemental Praecipe for Appearance formally requesting you to consider the above mentioned sale in making your Decree of Distribution and to allow the following credits: Howard F.carson -Atty.fee-Preparation of Deed $25.00 Howard F.carson-Reimbursement for Costs advanced: Notary fee on deed $1.00 Pa.Deed Transfer tax -1/2 26.00 Local Deed Transfer tax -1/2 13.00 Prorata share of 1972 real estate taxes Bureau of Vital Statistics-Birth Cert.of minor Judi Henning-Hospitalization of minor Judi Henning-Hospitalization of minor Judi Henning-Doctor and Hospitalization 40.00 23.00 2.00 27.00 27.00 55.00 $199.00 "...I -'~/ John Hana Page 2 May ,1972 Should you have any further questions,give me a call.
