Estate of Edwina Fuller; Where are the Bank Statements, Supplement to Accounting

[Department    LA    5     Court Convened at:    1:30 PM    8/12/2015]

Dear PA Matthew Osborne,

This email is to notify you as the Probate Attorney that I have not received copies of the Supplement to Accounting filed with the Court on 06/09/2015 nor the bank statements in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller which were requested of Atty. Randall and Steven Fuller almost a year ago.

Please see attached.

The lack of transparency by Atty. Randall and Mr. Fuller in regards to this estate is very unsettling, very disturbing, criminal. 

Warmest regards,

-------

(Teddie J. Randall & Steven Fuller)

Know that I will seek further action against both of you with the proper authorities for your failure to provide the information requested in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller.

-------

I have explained this to you before and the court has informed you.  You are not an attorney,  nor do you represent any one in this action.  I will not be providing you with any documents.  You have a right to request any documentation from the administrator,  Mr. Steven Fuller.

Attorney T. Randall

-------

You are correct - I am not a shyster, a liar, and or a thief.

I can't say the same about you counselor.

I would not have needed to attempt to look out for my mother's best interest via a limited power of attorney [find attached] if you were above board, open, and honest.

My mother wants a copy, I'm sure she's entitled to it.

She has alleged that you will not respond to her, don't answer her calls nor return them. 

That is your pattern as far as she is concerned.

I already know that you took advantage of her and my Aunt Carol.

So, what are you hiding?

That said, mail her a copy....

*****************************
Objs filed 4/17/15; Amendment to objs filed 5/1/15
Objr is Sandra Arnold through her agent Michael L. Long (self represented)

SUMMARY:
Objr is atty in fact for decd's daughter Sandra Arnold
Objs served

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr alleges he was granted a limited pwr of atty in 11/13 by Sandra Arnold, a beneficiary of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and this estate.

Objr alleges the accounting is fatally flawed in that the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, [BP 122665], via atty Tala R. Davis as succr tee of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, paid $107,692.30 to the this estate with a certified cashier's check from Comerica Bank dated 09/29/2014 to Steven Fuller as conservator of the estate and person of Edwina Fuller and said monies have not been accounted for.

Objr alleges that those funds were misappropriated and converted by petnr Steven Fuller with the help of atty Teddie J. Randall and that by failing to properly give an accurate and honest accounting to the court constitutes fraud, theft, conversion and financial elder abuse against the beneficiaries of this estate.

SUMMARY:
Objr is former atty for Steven Fuller as consr of the pers & est in BP099211

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr, as the former atty for consr Steven Fuller, filed a petn for fees after becoming aware that her former client Steven Fuller had, without notice, consulted another attorney to prepare and file the Second Account and Final Account and Report of the cshp. Said 2nd & Final Acct for the cshp omitted any reference to objr's srvcs or to the costs advanced by the objr on behalf of the cshp estate. The acct did indicate that the cshp had an ending balance of $192,837.50 of which $145.29 was cash, $85,000 in real property and $107,692.30 in a judgment in favor of the cshp.

Per 11/18/14 order approving Steven Fuller's final acct as consr, Fuller was authorized and directed to pay objr the sum of $14,951 for atty fees and $161 for costs advanced. Despite this order, objr has not been paid.
