Court House
Washington,Pa.15301
RE:Estate of William H.Fleming
No.63-70-1132
Dear Chris:
This is in reference to our recent conversations and
correspondence relative to the above estate,which I had assumed
was closed until receiving your phone call last month.
This was not the usual estate anq our office commenced
with the handling of the same on June 30,1974,when an Ancel
J.Fleming came into the office.Mr.Fleming came in at that time
to inquire into the estate of his father,William J.Fleming,who
died in 1951.In checking the records,I found that Letters of
Administration were issued in June,1952,to Mr.Fleming's sister,
Mrs.Lucy Price,of West Virginia.
Mr.Ancel Fleming came to see us as a referral of the
Lawyer's Referral Service and,prior to this time,had been in
contact with several other lawyers in the Washington County area,
including Charles Sweet,who was then a Judge,and Sam Rodgers and
his partner at that time,Mr.Roney.It appears that,while Mrs.
Price was administratrix,Charles Sweet had commenced the handling
of the estate by obtaining some sort of a settlement for gas rights.
Actually,we were never able to trace this settlement.
Mr.Fleming informed me that it was his sister's philosophy
that if she were named administrator and paid the taxes on the
property that,after a ,certain number of years,the property would
be hers and would no longer be a part of the estate.I contacted
Mrs.Price by telephone.That'is to say,I actually contacted her
husband by telephone and fairly well confirmed that this was her
belief.I told Mr.Price that there would be an action filed in
Washington County to compel her to proceed with the administration
of the estate.
I
.....~.•
Chris Vlachos,Esquire

September 21,1976
I might mention,too,at that time,that Mr.Ancel
Fleming,who had come to see us,was here from the State of
Louisiana,where he lived.After contacting his brother-in-law,Mr.
Price,I then made efforts to trace what had transpired in the
estate through Rogers &Roney,successors to Judge Sweet's practice.
Sam confirmed that there had been some work done in the Fleming
estate,but very little,and that he had no claim for fees or
costs and advised us to proceed as we would in the handling of
the same.I asked him if he would contact Mrs.Price or if he
would represent her in any proceeding which I would bring,and
he declined,indicating that he had no further desire to·proceed
in that case.
Certain correspondence followed with Mrs.Price,including
a threat to have her removed as administratix unless she moved
forward with the estate.She continued to decline any activity
whatsoever.
Some time later,I believe in the next year,Mr.Fleming
returned and announced that his sister,Lucy Price,was now dead.
We applied for Letters of Administration on the same day that Mr.
Fleming was here,with the request that Ancel Fleming be appointed
as administrator.I believe that he was actually appointed admin-
istrator cta.
The first problem in the estate would be to dispose of
the realty,which Mr.Fleming figured was worth between $5,000 and
$10,000.We contacted a realtor by the name of Joseph DeMaria
and Mr.DeMaria appraised the property..That property consisted
of approximately 145 acres in West Finley Township.
From this time on,began a steady period of meetings,
correspondence,telephone conferences with Ancel Fleming,and
the following people,all of whom are heirs to the estate.
Marian Newcombe,Lafferty,Ohio;Charles Price,Blaine,Ohio;
Eileen Duffy,.Saint Clairsville,Ohio;Joseph Price,18th street,
Wheeling,West Virginia;John Price,650 Fairmont Pike,Mount
Olifant.
They had a prospective buyer for us,apparently.A
Mr.Anderson,located at Anderson's Texaco,at 232-9247.There
were several calls made to Mr.Anderson at that number and,at
the end,it appeared that he did not have the means or the desire
to purchase the property.
.."
Chris Vlachos,Esquire

september 21,1976
Joe DeMaria was able to locate a buyer for the property;
Mr.and Mrs.Milton Kosanovich,of the City of Pittsburgh.The
actual sales price was $5,000 and,after the payment of the realtor's
commission and costs of sale,the estate neted $4300 from the sale
of that land.I would like to mention that there were many meetings
of the heirs both at the property and at my office prior to the
sale of this land.One of the factors which held up the sale was
the fact that some of the heirs were toying with the purchase,
themselves,of this family acreage.At the end,none could afford
it and we proceeded with Mr.DeMaria who was able to consummate
the sale,finally.
Some of these estate papers,such as the RCC and the
Debts,show the attorney's fees as $300 and I assume,looking
back,that this is likely what I had contemplated as fees at
the beginning of the handling of this estate.Under some other
circumstances,this might have been a proper fee.However,as
this estate progressed,with the many meetings and toll calls,
I informed the heirs at an early stage of this proceeding that
the attorney's fees would be considerably increased over the
amount that I had originally contemplated.
There were many disputes between the heirs.No two of
the heirs got along,it seemed.Mr.Fleming,my client,was at
odds with practically all of them.This is one of the reasons
why there were so many meetings involved.
The closing of the sale of that real estate became
quite complicated because of the various heirs involved and
their contacting of the prospective buyers.In fact,this office
had considerable periods of negotiation with Attorney Jon Botula,
of Grant Building,Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,relative to the
closing.The closing was handled through this office without
any fees being charged to the estate,separately,for the handling
of the closing,the preparation of the Deed,etc.
Additional reference to my file indicates that,by
July 7,1971,we were still trying to locate the gas royalties.
These were never found.We were also looking for royalties which
were supposedly obtained by the administratrix,Mrs.Price,from
Manufacturer's Heat and Light Company~-It appears that there was
never a separate account kept of the royalties and we were unable
to find them..I tried to locatetheIri throughthePx.:ice ts,through
Samuel Rodgers,but to no avail,In the meanwhile,there were
.many calls,to and frQm,Longstreet,Loui~>iana~Jncl.ud.ed tn my
bill of $850 •.00 was probaJ;lly a sUlTl Qf $10.0..to $1.50.~Or;(e;i:mburse...
merit for telephone toll cC3,J..ls~
Chris Vlachos,Esquire

September 21,1976
Also,there was the matter of the settlement of a claim
against the estate by the Ohio Valley Hospital.This was done
with no charge being made,separately,to the estate.That claim
was settled for $800.'There was also a claim put against the
estate by Joseph Price,widower,of Lucy Price,for monies which
Lucy had expended in keeping the real estate from being sold
throughout the years.She wanted her taxes back,plus monies
which she had spent for medical reimbursement for her father.In
March,1972,this was compromised between Joseph Price and the
various heirs.It was done through my office,with no separate
charge being made.That reimbursement,it would appear from the
correspondence,was ultimately made in the amount of $872.42 and
this amount included an administratrices commission of $200.
Early in the handling of the estate,as soon as it be-
came evident that none of the heirs would be agreeable with each-
other,I explained to each of them at one of our meetings that
the attorney's fees would be considerably more than normally
charged,percentage wise,in an estate,this being for the
reason that I had already expended many more than the usual
number of hours in the handling of the same and a great deal
of money in telephone toll charges.There was absolutely no
objection from any of the heirs;in fact,they felt that it
would be proper.
By way of further review of this file,I have noted
that it was necessary,in the sale of the real estate,to answer
many questions which appeared after a prospective buyer had been
located,that this office searched th~title to the real estate.
This was done at the request of the various heirs and this re-
quest was made at one of the meetings of the heirs.I explained
to them,at that time,that there would be an approximate charge
of $100 for the title search.There was no resistance to this
at all.
Included in the title difficulties was a claim by the
Tax Claim Bureau and possible,eventual sale.The matter was
worked out with the Tax Claim Bureau and I subsequently worked
it out with Attorney Botula,attorney for the buyers,that each
of us shared the tax claim responsibility.
Among the many other problems in this estate was the
fact that there was also a D.P.A.lien against Mr.Fleming.The
amount of the lien escapes me at the present time,but my file
does indicate that we were ultimately able to compromise the
lien with a Mr.Wakefield Hexon,of the Pennsylvania Department
..
Chris Valachos,Esquire

September 21,1976
of Public Welfare.The actual settlement amount was $164.26,
and there were many phone calls to Mr.Hexon's office and a
considerable period of negotiation before any settlement would
be accepted by D.P.A.Then,as the estate was being wound up,
finally,some additional controversy erupted in the form of
Mrs.Mildred Duffy,who was one of the heirs of the above
estate by being the daughter of Lucy Ruth Price.
It appears that she also objected to the sale of the
farm.She hired Attorney John J.Malik,of Bell Aire,Ohio,to
represent her interests.We had subsequent correspondence with
Mr.Malik.
In addition to the many additional hours which were
involved in the handling of this estate,there was also a great
deal of correspondence involved,many,many long distance tele-
phone toll charges,conferences and correspondence with several
lawyers and state agencies and,moreover,the heirs all agreed
upon the attorney's commission of $850 long before the estate
was totally settled.And,there was no resistance to that figure
as a fee,whatsoever.
I trust that this is ample information which you require
in approving the $850 charge which I have listed as attorney's
fees.If there is any further information which you require,
please let me know.The item of fees,as set forth in the
account,also includes costs advanced.
If there is any further information or documentation
which you require,please call me.
