PETITION SUR AUDIT
IN RE:JOSEPH W.SPRAGG ESTATE
NO:63-71-0901
QUESTIONS RAISED BY AUDIT CLERK
TELEPHONE:225-7030
AREA CODE:412
A.At the date of death,the decedent owned 400
shares of Washington Steel Stock valued at $15 per share and
thus,your accountant included that in the inventory for the
Estate.Subsequent to death,by virtue of a stock option,Joseph
W.Spragg's widow obtained 200 additional shares of Washington
Steel Stock in her own name.Insomuch as these shares were in
her name,they are not probatable assets,however,because they
were received by virtue of the decedent's death,they were
taxable for estate tax purposes.
B.The A.E.Staley Manufacturing Company Stock was
a non-probatable asset.It passed to Mary Alice Spragg,Joseph
W.Spragg's widow,by virtue of a trust created in Greene County.
We included it for inheritance tax purposes because Joseph W.
Spragg received income on it during his lifetime.
C.
return,it
decedent's
designated
tax.
At the time of the filing of the inheritance tax
became evident that this $900 payment from the
former employer was made directly to the widow as a
beneficiary,and therefore not subject to inheritance
D.There was a cash advance made by Mellon Bank,
N.A.approximately 30 days prior to decedent's death,which was
believed to have been an asset,but the same was charged back by
Mellon Bank against decedent during his lifetime on the date of
his death,although notice of this chargeback was not received
until after his death.This transaction represents a lifetime
loan and chargeback and was included on the inventory through
error.
E.A $750 fee for the administration of the estate
is reasonable particularly in light of the fact that the
---------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_-------
Executrix was the sole heir.This is a reasonable fee for the
Executrix to charge.
F.Between the time of the filing of the First and
Final Account and the inheritance tax return,it became obvious
that attorney's fees in the amount of $500 was not reasonable and
therefore,we increased them to $750.We have spent a great deal
more time on this estate than even $750 would reflect and
basicly,we break it down -$500 for the probatable assets and
$250 for the non-probatable assets,or 10 hours (a)$25 per hour.
There was a stock option on the Washington Steel Stock and we
also spent time determining the status of the A.E.Staley
Manufacturing Company Stock.
G.This document is an enclosure to the Petition Sur
Audit.
H.A decree is being provided with the Petition Sur
Audit contemporaneously herewith.
I.Inheritance tax was paid on the remainder
interest in Greene County,to wit -196 shares of A.E.Staley
Manufacturing Company Stock.A.E.Staley Manufacturing Company
Stock was not inventoried as it was not a probatable asset.
