The tee has never provided an acct, although he was appted 2 years ago. Petnrs made a written demand for an acct on 9/12/13 and the tee has not responded. Petnrs seek an order compelling the tee to file an acct for the period of 3/7/12 through the date of the order for the acct. The appeal also concerns the validity of an amendment. Petnrs seek an order that the tee be restrained from dist the tr assets before the appeal is decided. Petnrs alleg there is a reasonable probability that the petnrs will prevail in their appeal.

*******************************************************************

RELIEF:
1. JTD compel tee Patrick John Barnitt to file an acct for the period of 3/7/12 - date of court order compelling acct;
2. JTD that the tee be restrained from dist the assets of the tr until petnrs' appeal is decided;
3. JTD atty fees/costs
4. JTD OBJECTIONS

P/A COMMENT: Petnrs state an appeal of the Judgment and the Order Appting Succr tee is pending and therefore there is an automatic stay related to the appeal

Otherwise, tee has filed resignation on 4/3/14 and has failed to pay bond premiums 5,895. Does not appear petn to approve resignation or appt succr tee has been filed. Tee should be ordered to file acct by date certain and set OSC re: same

Hmm?

How was it that the Trust interest in the real estate was sold over the objections of the majority of the Trust beneficiaries?

How was it that the Estate of Edwina Fuller interest in the real estate was sold without the input of the beneficiaries of the Estate?

Steven A. Fuller wants  R E S P E C T ...

Respect is earned it is not freely given.
