IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF WASIDNGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
IN RE: ESTATE OF MIKE DUDAS, a/k/ a
MICHAEL DUDASH, DECEASED. NO. 63 -71 -259
EXCEPTION TO ACCOUNT
AND
EXCEPTION TO PROPOSED SALE TO EXECUTRIX
AND NOW, this ~day of September 1974, MARGARET MORVIN,
legatee in the above captioned Estate, and SALVATORE GRAFF, beneficiary of
the Estate of HELEN GRAFF, legatee in the above captioned Estate object to the
account filed by Elizabeth C. Karpy, Executrix of the Estate of Mike Dudas, a/ k/ a
Michael Dudash, and to the proposed Petition of Elizabeth C. Karpy, Executrix of
said Estate for leave to purchase certain lots of ground listed as assets of the Estate,
for the following reasons:
l. The accountant has set forth in the account the name of Helen Graff
as a beneficiary of the estate, whereas the said Helen Graff died, testate, on January
13, 1974, subsequent to the death of Testator who died January 6, 1971, and by her
Last Will and Testament did give, devise and bequeath her entire estate to her husband,
Salvatore Graff, exceptant herein. Insofar as the said Helen Graff died subsequent to
the death of Testator, her interest in said Estate had vested in her and would pass under
the terms and provisions of her Last Will and Testament, wherein she did give, devise
and bequeath her entire estate unto her said husband, Salvatore Graff.
2. The accountant proposes to present her Petition to the Court for lease
·to purchase certain assets of the Estate, being Lots Nos. 731 and 732 in the La Belle
Heights ADotment, and Lot No. 184 in the Arlington Heights Allotment, all in Trumble
County, State of Ohio, for the total sum of $450. 00, whereas the fair market value of
said lots if sold on the open market is $3,400.00
3. The accountant has failed to include in the assets of the Estate the
sum of $16,317.72, being the principal amount on deposit in a Joint Savings Account
#066 -5072 held in the Mellon National Bank & Trust Company, Canonsburg, Office,
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, in the names of Mike Dudas or Elizabeth C. Karpy,
and opened on August 13, 1965. This was a convenience account, and all sums on
deposit in said account were the sole property of decedent, Mike Dudas, and were
properly includible in his Estate.
4. The Exceptants herein therefore request of Your Honorable Court:
a. That the distributive share of the Estate vested in 'Helen Graff,
now deceased, be awarded directly to Salvatore Graff, sole beneficiary under the
terms of the Last Will and Testament of the said Helen Graff, Deceased.
b. That Elizabeth C. Karpy, Executrix, be directed to file an
amended inventory and appraisement setting forth the sum of $16, 317. 72, the
proceeds of Savings Account #066-5072, Mellon National Bank & Trust Company,
Canonsburg Office, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, as an asset of Decedent's Estate.
c. That the Petition of Elizabeth C. Karpy for leave to purchase
Lots Nos. 731 and 732 in the La Belle Heights Allotment, and Lot No. 184, in the
Arlington Heights Allotment, Trumble County, State of Ohio, be denied.
d. That Elizabeth C. Karpy, Executrix, be directed to expose said
Lots of ground to public sale, and to make account of any and all proceeds resulting
from such sale.
Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Liekar or Mr. Modrak or his client interested in tris
estate of Mike Dudas, also known as Michael Dudash?
( NO RESPONSE )
a. THE COURT: Hearing none, we will proceed now witt z 0 I-t!) z Mr. Modrak making a statement for the record.
' -
MODRAK: Mr. Liekar filed· the exceptions. Dooyot
want to make a statement first?
LIEKAR: ·Your Honor, .I did file Exceptions to
the Account and Exceptions to the propose.d sale of cer ain
real estate situate in Ohio to the Executrix. The
Court then set this date for a hearing. Primarily,
my exceptions were on the failure to-include a joint
savings account 1n the sum of $16,317.72 in the Inven ory
and Appraisement, ahd excepting to the proposed sale
to the Executrix on the·,basis that the proposed sell in*
price of $450.00 was far under a fair market value.
And also, excepting in a way to the naming of Helen
Graff as a beneficiaiy of the estate.
·' As to the joint bank account and its
inclusion a~d as to the opposition to the sale of the
property, I do not have any testimony or witnesses
to offer in that respect. I do have in respect to our

_request that the beneficiary, Helen Graff,":· have subs t i ~~·ted
t" as a beneficiary her husband, whose name is Salvatore~'
Graff. The reason for that is that the said Helen R.
Graff,,lso known as Helen Graff , died ~ubsequent to th~
death of the decedent in this estate.
COURT: Do you have any documentary evidence
you could submit?
LIEKAR: In that behalf·I would ask to file
in the account the Last Will and Testament of ~he said
Helen R. Graff, which was probated in Lake County,
Ohio. I have a copf of that Will with a certification
by the Deputy Clerk from Lake County, attesting to the
probate of the Will and the Application for Probate.
COURT: Do you want to have those papers
marked as exhibits?
LIEKAR: I would ask that the Court mark this
for identification as·Exceptant's Exhibit "A". Your

make the following rulings under the circumstances:
the Court does·hereby rule that Salvatore Graff shall
be substituted in the ~tead of Helen R. Graff as the
·legatee under the Will, subject, however, to the posti1g
of a refunding bond by-the said Salvatore S. Graff
without surety to protect the payment of any Inheritan< e
Taxes that might be due the Commonwealth of Pennsylvan a.
Further, the Court will not pass on .
the matter of the proposed sale, because there is not
Petition now before the Court, as I understand it,
and I think all parties agree that this matter was
raised in the Audit Petition as a proposal, but there was
no formal action taken by way of Petition by the Execu rix
under the Will of the decedent, Mr. Michael Dudash.
As to the sum of $16,317.72 which is
set forth as the-third exception filed by Mr. Liekar,
on behalf of Margaret Morvin and Salvatore Graff, the
Court dismisses that exception.

In summary, the Court makes the folloving
rulings: that Mr. Salvatore S. qraff is ~ubstituted a~
the legatee as ·hereinabove ordered in. stead of Helen
R. Graff, which is the first exception, or reques~.
The second proposa~ having to do with the sale of the·
··-property in Ohio is dismissed for reason the rna tter
is currently moot, inasmuch as there 1s no formal·
petition before the Court.
And. the third exceptionis dismissed
pertairiing to the issets of the estate in the amount o
$16,317.72, inasmuch as there is no proof or other
eviden~e nbw before the Cour~ to sustain the exception
MR. MODRAK: If the Court please, may we at this t me

THE COURT: .In other words, the audit cannot be

property in Ohio at the present time on the present
