ESTATE NO. 21-07-0277
JOINT PETITION OF EXECUTOR, TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARIES TO
TERMINATE SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST AND EXTINGUISH RIGHTS
OF BENEFICIARIES IN SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST
TO THE HONORABLE, JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Kenneth D. Steele, Executor of the Estate of Richard G. Steele
deceased, Kenneth D. Steele, Trustee of the Debra Mason Special Needs
Trust, and Debra Mason, individually, Debra Mason, as Guardian for
Michelle Mason, and Angela Brungard, individually, all vested or
contingent beneficiaries of Special Needs Trust created by the Last
will and Testament of Richard G. Steele dated September 7, 2005, by
and through counsel of Andrew C. Sheely, Esquire, hereby file this
Joint petition for termination of the Debra Mason Special Needs Trust
and beneficial interests created therein in accordance with 20 Pa.
C.S.A. S6102 (a), and respectfully state as follows:
1. Petitioner, Kenneth D. Steele, is the son of decedent and
Executor of the Estate of Richard G. Steele, having been granted
Letters Testamentary on March 23, 2007 by the Register of Wills of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania at the above-captioned docket number.
2. Petitioner, Kenneth D. Steele, is also the named Trustee of
the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST created by Item 2 C. of the'
Decedent's Last Will and Testament.
~-.', ...

. ..,
'- ,
G~'
.:\
I?
',:-.
3. Petitioner, Debra Mason, age 49, is a surviving natural child
of decedent.
4. Petitioner, Debra Mason, is the court appointed guardian for
her husband, James Mason, who suffers from a permanent brain injury,
and therefore the only adult guardian of Michelle Mason, a named
contingent beneficiary of the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST.
5. Petitioner Angela Brungard is an adult individual and the
natural daughter of Petitioner Debra Mason.
6. At the time of the decedent's death, the probate Estate of
Richard G. Steele consisted of approximately $30,000.00 held in the
form of checking and banking accounts titled in the name of the
decedent.
7. In addition, the decedent Richard G. Steele was the owner of
a non-qualified fixed Annuity held by the Lincoln Benefit Life
Company with an approximate date of death value of $50,000.00.
8. Pursuant to the annuity contract, the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL
NEEDS TRUST was a named beneficiary of the Lincoln Financial annuity
and entitled to approximately one-third (1/3) of the value thereof or
approximately $16,667.00.
9. In addition, the decedent Richard G. Steele was the owner of
a life insurance policy controlled by CUNA Mutual Life Insurance
Company with a death benefit of $75,000.00.
10. Pursuant to the policy of insurance, the DEBRA MASON SPE-
CIAL NEEDS TRUST was a named beneficiary of the CUNA Mutual Life
2
Insurance Company and entitled to approximately one-third (1/3) of
the death benefit, or approximately $25,000.00.
11. Item 2 C. of the Last Will and Testament of Richard G.
Steele, decedent, directed that 1/3 of the Estate of Richard G.
Steele, be held, administered and distributed as a separate Trust for
extra and supplemental care of Debra Mason during her lifetime, and
then distributed to the children of Debra Mason upon the death of
Debra Mason.
12. As a result of a 1999 motor vehicle accident which perma-
nently injured her husband, Debra Mason is the Court appointed guard-
ian of her husband's person and estate.
13. Due to her position as Guardian for her husband which
requires full time care and assistance and the amount of limited
income available to Debra Mason and her husband, Debra Mason receives
certain State health insurance benefits for her care and aid.
14. If created, any payment of funds to Debra Mason directly or
indirectly from the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST would cause her
to report income available for her and her husband's support which
would deprive her of certain benefits which she and her husband
receive as a result of his permanent injuries and ongoing medical
costs and expenses.
15. Kenneth D. Steele, Trustee of the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS
TRUST, has advised Petitioner Debra Mason that he does not intend to
release funds from the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST to her if such
3
funds would deprive her and her husband of currently available bene-
fits from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
16. Decedent's Last Will and Testament specifically stated that
no income from the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST should be consid-
ered as an available resource of Debra Mason so as to limit her
ability to acquire certain Federal, State and local benefits which
she may be entitled as a result of a permanent brain injury sustained
by her husband with whom she and her daughter Michelle Mason present-
ly reside.
17. Funds available for distribution to the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL
NEEDS TRUST should not exceed $45,000.00.
18. The creation and establishment of the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL
NEEDS TRUST as directed by Item 2 C. of the Decedent's Last Will and
Testament would:
a. Inflict unnecessary annual accounting costs for
trust administration and income tax consequences upon distri-
butions therefrom where minimum assets would be distributed
from said trust throughout the life of Debra Mason due to her
husband's permanent medical condition; and
b. Inflict unnecessary practical and liability
burdens upon the Trustee who does not wish to administer a
trust in light of the testamentary trust limitations and the
current value of such trust throughout the life of Debra
Mason; and
c. Inflict unnecessary costs associated with the
employment of experts to assist with performing the fiduciary
responsibilities associated with Trust administration
throughout the life of Debra Mason; and
d. Defeat the specific requests of Debra Mason who
consents to the termination of the trust in accordance with
the statement attached hereto so as to award said testamenta-
4
ry trust funds to her children and the grandchildren of the
decedent; and
e. Defeat the specific requests of Angela M.
Brungard, a residual beneficiary of said trust, who is at
least 24 years of age and capable of managing financial
resources in accordance with the statement attached hereto;
and
f. Defeat the specific requests of Debra Mason,
sole guardian of her daughter Michelle Mason, a minor, in
light of the stated position herein that one half all funds
which would be paid to Debra Mason Special Needs Trust could
be held in the name of Michelle Mason pending her majority.
19. Petitioners believe that proceeds from the Lincoln
Financial Annuity and the CUNA life insurance policy will be paid
to the Estate of Richard D. Steele if the trust is not created as
requested in this Petition.
20. All beneficiaries to the Estate of Richard D. Steele
have acknowledged consents to the termination of the trust as
attached hereto. Copies of the consents are attached hereto as
Exhibit UAU.
21. Upon transfer of the funds from the annuity to the
Estate, all beneficiaries have consented to the proposal that all
proceeds from the Lincoln Financial Annuity and the CUNA life
insurance policy in the approximate amount of $38,667.00 available
to be paid to the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST should be paid
directly to the children of Debra Mason, namely Angela Brungard
and Michelle Mason, from the funds so transferred to the Estate. A
copy of the consents are attached hereto as Exhibit UAU.
22. Debra Mason intends to file a Disclaimer of her interest
5
in the Estate so as to waive any claim which she may have therein.
A copy of the Disclaimer intended to be filed is attached hereto
as Exhibit UBU.
23. Angela Brungard has agreed to serve as the custodian of
all funds transferred to Michelle Mason as a result of terminating
the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST pending Michelle Mason's
majority.
24. All beneficiaries to the Estate of Richard D. Steele have
acknowledged consents to the payment of the proceeds from Lincoln
Financial Annuity and the CUNA life insurance policy to Angela
Brungard and to Michelle Mason in accordance with the preceding
paragraphs. Copies of the consents are attached hereto as Exhibit
UBU.
25. Termination of the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST is
not intended to nor will materially prejudice the rights of any
creditor of a named beneficiary of the Trust or Estate.
26. Termination of the DEBRA MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST is
consistent with Item 2 C. of the Decedent's Last Will and Testa-
ment as the decedent specified that the purpose of the Will was to
establish no income for Debra Mason individually for the reasons
set forth therein.
27. petitioners believe that no adverse inheritance tax
consequences will be imposed upon the Estate or deprive the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania any inheritance tax.
6
28. petitioner, Debra Mason, guardian of Michelle Mason, a
non-vested minor beneficiary, consents to termination of DEBRA
MASON SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST in accordance with the representations
contained herein.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request that this Honor-
able Court enter an Order of Court terminating said Debra Mason
Special Needs Trust as established by Item 2 of the Decedent's
Last will and Testament, and further direct that any and all
proceeds received by the Estate from the Lincoln Financial Annuity
and the CUNA life insurance policy shall be directed to Angela
Brugard, individually, and to Michelle Mason, a minor, to her
custodian, Angela Brungard, until the majority of said Michelle
Mason.
