My understanding is 5 that there has been some discussions. The will 6 left all to the named executrix. It was my 7 understanding that she is prepared to renounce 8 certain portions of the estate; that being items 9 set forth on a letter dated June 25th, 2007 from 10 Mr. Mirras. And Mr. -- I am sorry, sir, I don't 11 know how to pronounce your name. 12 MR. OUDEMOOL: Oudemool. 13 THE COURT: Oudemool, thank you. 14 A blue blanket; travel mug; antique violin; 15 antique carriage seat; all movies on tape of 16 first family, provided that they are within the 17 estate; all photos of first family, to the 18 extent that they are within the estate; Avon 19 bottles, again to the extent they are in the 20 estate; MG Bugeye Sprite "as is" - it's in 21 pieces at this time; as well as $12,500 which 22 apparently will be derived from the sale of 23 certain assets of the estate to be liquidated 24 with some real property. It is also my 25 understanding that the expectation is that these 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 File No. 2007-22194 3 matters -- or items would be turned over as soon as possible, and the monies paid as soon as possible. I just admonish the executrix that they do have the fiduciary obligation to distribute assets as soon as possible. And, again, it is my understanding with this that the other siblings would be executing waivers and letters would issue. Counsel? MR. MIRRAS: Judge, that is my understanding. It is accurately stated. I just want the other side to be aware that the only item that we have not been able to locate, Judge, in the top part of the letter is the travel mug. She is still looking for that and if it is located, we will turn it over. THE COURT: Okay. On behalf of your client do you so stipulate? MR. MIRRAS: Pardon me? THE COVRT: On behalf of your client, do you so stipulate? MR. MIRRAS: We do so stipulate, yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Mr. Oudemool? 1 File No. 2007-22194 . 4 2 MR. OUOEMOOL: If it please the Court, on 3 behalf of my four clients, we so stipulate as 4 laid on the record by the Court. S THE COURT: Okay. One thing I did not 6 check, Mr. Mirras, whether or not renunciation 7 has to be in writing. If so, submit it. It is 8 on -- it is on the record, however. 9 MR. MIRRAS: Thank you. 10 MR. OUDEMOOL: Okay, Your Honor. 11 THE COURT: Okay, good luck. I hope things 12 go smoothly. 13 MR. OUDEMOOL: Thank you. 14 MR.
