publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore
made by me. I am retired fi.om the military service of the United States.

administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect to property included in
my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my
residuary estate, without apportionment and with no right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property,
SECOND: It is my desire that, upon my death, I be buried with full military honors at American
Military Cemetery, Madingley, Cambfidgeshire, England.
THIRD: I give all real estate owned by me at the time of my death, and all rights that I have
under any related insurance policies, to my wife SUZANNE MARGARET COLEMAN, if she survives me.

without limitation personal effects, clothing, jewelry, furniture, furnishings, household goods, automobiles and other
vehicles, together with all insurance policies relating thereto, to my wife SUZANNE MARGARET COLEMAN, if
she survives me, or if she does not survive me, to my son SHAUN PAUL COLEMAN, if he survives me.
FIFTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and
personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time
of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows:

CWIL DIVISION
CUMBERLAND COUNTY
NO. 03-2050
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAIN'rlI~'F'S MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT
Pursuant to Pennsylvania law, a Plaintiff in Mortgage Foreclosure is required to name as
defendants the real owner of the property subject to the foreclosure action. See Pa.R.C.P. Rule
1144. Pennsylvania law further provides that "...Legal title to all real estate of the decedent shall
pass at ...death to (the) heirs of devisees, subject, however, to all the powers granted to the
personal representative..." 20 Pa.C.S.A. 301 (b). As a result, the proper defendants in an action
in mortgage foreclosure involving a decedent are the heirs or devisees, and the personal
representative of the estate. Finally, Pa.R.C.P., Rule 1033 specifically provides that:
A party may, by leave of court at any time, amend his pleading. The amended
pleading may over transacting or occurrences which have happened before or
after the filing of the original pleading...
In the case sub judicia, Plaintiff initiated its Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure and
named CHARLES E. COLEMAN, as Defendant as required by Pa.R.C.P. 1144. However,
Plaintiff subsequently discovered that CHARLES E. COLEMAN is deceased.
Because title to real property vests in the heirs of the decedent at the time of death,
Plaintiffis obligated to name said heirs as party Defendants to the Complaint in Mortgage
Foreclosure. Accordingly, the proper defendant parties in this action are the heirs of CHARLES
E. COLEMAN, DECEASED.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffrespectfully requests this Honorable Court enter an Order
authorizing the amendment of the complaint.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT
Pursuant to Pennsylvania law, a Plaintiff in Mortgage Foreclosure is required to name as
defendants the real owner of the property subject to the foreclosure action. See Pa.R.C.P. Rule
1144. Pennsylvania law further provides that "...Legal title to, all real estate of the decedent shall
pass at ...death to (the) heirs of devisees, subject, however, to all the powers granted to the
personal representative..." 20 Pa.C.S.A. 301 Co). As a result, the proper defendants in an action
in mortgage foreclosure involving a decedent are the heirs or devisees, and the personal
representative of the estate. Finally, Pa.R.C.P., Rule 1033 specifically provides that:
A part>, may, by leave of court at any time, amend his pleading. The amended
pleading may over macring or occurrences which have happened before or
after the filing of the original pleading...
In the case sub judicia, Plaintiff initiated its Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure and
named CHARLES E. COLEMAN, as Defendant as required by Pa.R.C.P. 1 144. However,
Plaintiff subsequently discovered that CHARLES E. COLEMAN is deceased.
Because title to veal pvoper~y ve~ts {n the beir~ of the decedeot at the time of death
Pl~mfiffis obligated to name said heirs as party Defendants to the Complaint in Mortgage
Foreclosure. Accordingly, the proper defendant parties in this action are the heirs of CHARLES
E. COLEMAN, DECEASED.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffrespectfully requests this Ho~mrable Court enter an Order
authorizing the amendment of the complaint.

occasioned by accident or mistake. If any person named as a beneficiary under this will institutes a will contest, acts
as a party to a will contest initiated by someone else, or aids and ahe~ anyone instituting a will contest, I direct that
any bequest, devise, or share of my residuary estate that would otherwise go to that person shall lapse, as if he had

: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CIVIL DIVISION
: NO. 03-2050
BRIEF OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO ~a~ ~a~ROER
I. BACK~ROUND OF CASE
Plaintiff and Defendant(s) entered into a Promissory Note and Mortgage
Agreement, wherein Defendant(s) agreed to pay Plaintiff principal, interest,
late charges, real estate taxes, hazard insurance premiums and mortgage
insurance premiums as said monies became due. In turn, Plaintiff's Note was
secured by a mortgage on the subject premises. The Mortgage Agreement
indicates that in the event Defendant(s) defaults, Plaintiff may pay any
necessary obligations in order to protect its collateral, the subject premises.
In the case sub judicia, Defendant(s) failed to abide by the Mortgage
Agreement by failing to tender numerous, promised monthly mortgage payments.
Accordingly, after Plaintiff determined that Defendant(s) were not going to
cure the default and bring the loan current, Plaintiff commenced a Mortgage
Foreclosure Action.
Judgment was subsequently entered by the Court, and the subject property
is scheduled for Sheriff's Sale.
Because of the excessive period of time between the initiation of the
Mortgage Foreclosure Action, the entry of Judgment and the Sheriff's Sale date,
damages as previously assessed by the Court are outdated and must be increased
to include current interest, real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and other
expenses which Plaintiff has been obligated to pay under the Mortgage Agreement
in order to protect its interest.
II. ARGUMENT FOR REASSES.~w~T OF DAMAGER
The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure are silent with respect to the
issue of Reassessment of Damages; however, Rule 1037 provides, "the
Prothonotary shall assess damages for the amount which Plaintiff is entitled if
it is a sum certain or which can be made certain by computation...,, In the
instant case, the amount to which Plaintiff is entitled is readily calculated
by review of the Mortgage Agreement, which is of record, together with the
Complaint which specifically lists the items chargeable.
Clearly, if Rule 1037 gives the Prothonotary the right to assess damages
for the amount to which Plaintiff is entitled as set forth in the Complaint,
the Court has similar power to reassess damages at a later date.
In addition, Rule 1037(a) provides that the Court, on motion of a party,
may enter an appropriate judgment against a party upon default or admission.
If the Court has the power to enter judgment, it certainly has the power to do
a lesser act, to wit, reassess damages.
It is settled law in Pennsylvania that the Court may exercise its
equitable powers to control the enforcement of a judgment and to grant any
relief until that judgment is satisfied. 20 P.L.E., Judgments Sec. 191. See
also, Stephenson v. Butts, 187 Pa. Super 55, 59, 142 A.2d 319, 321 (1958); Chase
Home Mortgaqe Corporation of the Southwest v. Good, 537 A.2d 22, 24 (Pa. Super
1988).
In Chase Home Mortgaqe, the Court
assessed following defendant's failure
stated that where a judgment has been
to file a responsive pleading in a
mortgage foreclosure action, a mortgagee "...could properly move the court to
amend the judgment to add additional sums due by' virtue if the mortgage's
failure to comply with the terms of the mortgage agreement...,, Id. at 24.
Because a judgment in mortgage foreclosure is strictly in rem, it is critical
that the judgment reflect those amounts expended by the Plaintiff in protecting
the property. See Meco Reality Company v. Burns, 414 Pa. 495, 200 A.2d 335
(1971).
Plaintiff submits that if Plaintiff went to sale without reassessing
damages, and if there was competitive bidding for the subject premises,
Plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm in that it would not be able to recoup
monies it paid to protect its interest. Conversely, a reassessment of damages
will not be detrimental whatsoever to Defendant(s) as it imputes no personal
liability.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania found in the Landau v. Western Pa. Nat.
Bank case that the debt owed on a mortgage changes and can be expected to
change from day to day, because Western Pe~sylvania must pay e~enses for the
property in order to protect its collateral. 445 Pa. 117, 282 A.2d 335 (1971).
Because a mortgage lien is not extin~ished until the debt is paid, Plaintiff
must protect its collateral up until the date of sale. See Beckman v. Altoona
T~st Co., 332 Pa. 545, 2 A.2d 826 (1939).
Therefore, Plaintiff respectfully submits that if the enforcement of its
rights are delayed by legal proceedings and enforcement of its judgment, and
such delays re~ire the mortgagee to e~end additional sums pursuant to the
Mortgage, then said expenses become part of the mortgagee,s lien and should be
included in said judgment. As the Court indicated in FNMA v. Jefferson, an
unreported case a copy of which is attached hereto, since the charges
enumerated in Plaintiff's Motion for Reassessment of Damages were incurred
pursuant to the Mortgage Agreement, and the mortgage had not yet been paid,
said charges should be included in Plaintiff,s jud~lent amount. May Te~, 1986,
No. 2359 (CCP PHILA. 1986).
III. CONCLUSION
Plaintiff respectfully re~ests this Honorable Court grant its Petition to
Reassess Damages. Plaintiff respectfully s~mits that it has acted in good
faith in maintaining the property in accordance with the Mortgage, and in
reliance on said instrument with the understanding that it would recover the
monies it expended to protect its collateral.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully re~ests this Honorable Court to
reassess the damages as set fort~the Petition to Reassess Damages.
