LAST WILL AND TEST AMENT
OF
FAE C. KEIM
Introductory Clause. I, F AE C. KEIM, a resident of and domiciled in the
Township of Lower Allen, County of Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
I am married to RONALD O. KEIM.
I have two living children: ELAINE M. SPRIGGS and LINDA KAY KEIM.
ITEM I
Direction to Pay Debts. I direct that all my legally enforceable debts, secured and
unsecured, be paid as soon as practicable after my death.
ITEM II
Direction to Pay All Taxes from Residuary Estate. I direct that all estate,
inheritance, succession, death or similar taxes (except generation-skipping transfer taxes)
assessed with respect to my estate herein disposed of, or any part thereof, or on any
bequest or devise contained in this my Last Will (which term wherever used herein shall
include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held
jointly by me with another or on any transfer made by me during my lifetime or on any
other property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes be
paid out of my residuary estate and shall not be charged to or against any recipient,
beneficiary, transferee or owner of any such property or interests in property included in
my estate for such tax purposes.
ITEM III
Outright Gift of All Property to Husband. Contingent Gift to Issue. I give, devise
and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and
description (including lapsed legacies and devises) wherever situate and whether
acquired before or after the execution of this Will, absolutely in fee simple to my
husband, RONALD O. KEIM, if he shall survive me. If he shall not survive me, then I
Page 1
".
give, devise and bequeath all of the property to my surviving children in equal shares,
provided, however, the then living issue of a deceased child of mine shall take per stirpes
the share their parent would have taken had he or she survived me.
ITEM IV
Naming the Personal Representative. Personal Representative Succession.
Personal Representative's Fees and Other Matters. The provisions for naming the
Personal Representative, Personal Representative succession, Personal Representative's
fees and other matters are set forth below:
(1) Naming Individuals as Personal Representative. I hereby nominate,
constitute, and appoint as Personal Representatives of this my Last Will and Testament
RONALD O. KEIM and ELAINE M. SPRIGGS and direct that they shall serve without
bond.
(2) Individual Personal Representatives Succession. If any individual Personal
Representative should fail to qualify as Personal Representative hereunder, or for any
reason should cease to act in such capacity, the remaining individual Personal
Representatives shall continue to serve without a successor or substitute.
(3) Fee Schedule for Individual Personal Representative. For its services as
Personal Representative, the individual Personal Representative shall receive reasonable
compensation for the services rendered and reimbursement for reasonable expenses.
ITEM V
Definition of Personal Representative. Whenever the word "Personal
Representative" or any modifying or substituted pronoun therefor is used in this my Will,
such words and respective pronouns shall include both the singular and the plural, the
masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and shall apply equally to the Personal
Representative named herein and to any successor or substitute Personal Representative
acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute Personal Representative shall possess
all the rights, powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon the Personal
Representative originally named herein.
ITEM VI
Powers for Personal Representative. By way of illustration and not of limitation
and in addition to any inherent, implied or statutory powers granted to Personal
Representatives generally, my Personal Representative is specifically authorized and
empowered with respect to any property, real or personal, at any time held under any
provision of this my Will: to allot, allocate between principal and income, assign,
Page 2
-'I t ~
borrow, buy, care for, collect, compromise claims, contract with respect to, continue any
business of mine, convey, convert, deal with, dispose of, enter into, exchange, hold,
improve, incorporate any business of mine, invest, lease, manage, mortgage, grant and
exercise options with respect to, take possession of, pledge, receive, release, repair, sell,
sue for, to make distributions or divisions in cash or in kind or partly in each without
regard to the income tax basis of such asset, and in general, to exercise all the powers in
the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the management of
similar property owned in his or her own right, upon such terms and conditions as to my
Personal Representative may seem best, and to execute and deliver any and all
instruments and to do all acts which my Personal Representative may deem proper or
necessary to carry out the purposes of this my Will, without being limited in any way by
the specific grants of power made, and without the necessity of a court order.
ITEM VII
Discretion Granted to Personal Representative in Reference to Tax Matters. My
Personal Representative as the fiduciary of my estate shall have the discretion, but shall
not be required when allocating receipts of my estate between income and principal, to
make adjustments in the rights of any beneficiaries, or among the principal and income
accounts to compensate for the consequences of any tax decision or election, or of any
investment or administrative decision, that my Personal Representative believes has had
the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries
over others; provided, however, my Personal Representative shall not exercise its
discretion in a manner which would cause the loss or reduction of the marital deduction
as may be herein provided. In determining the state or federal estate and income tax
liabilities of my estate, my Personal Representative shall have discretion to select the
valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the allowable administration
expenses in my estate shall be used as state or federal estate tax deductions or as state
or federal income tax deductions and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax
return with my husband.
ITEM VIII
Defmition of Children. For purposes of this Will, "children" means the lawful
blood descendants in the first degree of the parent designated; and "issue" and
"descendants" mean the lawful blood descendants in any degree of the ancestor
designated; provided, however, that if a person has been adopted, that person shall be
considered a child of such adopting parent and such adopted child and his or her issue
shall be considered as issue of the adopting parent or parents and of anyone who is by
blood or adoption an ancestor of the adopting parent or either of the adopting parents.
The terms "child," "children," "issue," "descendant" and "descendants" or those terms
preceded by the terms "living" or "then living" shall include the lawful blood descendant
in the first degree of the parent designated even though such descendant is born after
the death of such parent.
Page 3
'.
The term "per stirpes" as used herein has the identical meaning as the term
"taking by representation" as defined in the Pennsylvania Probate Code.
ITEM IX
Definition of Words Relating to the Internal Revenue Code. As used herein, the
words "gross estate," "adjusted gross estate," "taxable estate," "unified credit," "state death
tax credit," "maximum marital deduction," "marital deduction," "pass," and any other
word or words which from the context in which it or they are used refer to the Internal
Revenue Code shall have the same meaning as such words have for the purposes of
applying the Internal Revenue Code to my estate. For purposes of this Will, my
"available generation-skipping transfer exemption" means the generation-skipping transfer
tax exemption provided in section 2631 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, in effect at the time of my death reduced by the aggregate of (1) the amount,
if any, of my exemption allocated to lifetime transfers of mine by me or by operation of
law, and (2) the amount, if any, I have specifically allocated to other property of my
gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. For purposes of this Will if at the time of
my death I have made gifts with an inclusion ratio of greater than zero for which the gift
tax return due date has not expired (including extensions) and I have not yet filed a
return, it shall be deemed that my generation-skipping transfer exemption has been
allocated to these transfers to the extent necessary (and possible) to exempt the
transfer(s) from generation-skipping transfer tax. Reference to sections of the Internal
Revenue Code and to the Internal Revenue Code shall refer to the Internal Revenue
Code amended to the date of my death.
ITEM X
Statement by Testatrix of Intent Not to Exercise Power of Appointment. I hereby
refrain from exercising any power of appointment that I may have at the time of my
death.
ITEM XI
Simultaneous Death Provision Presuming Beneficiary Predeceases Testatrix. If
any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would make it doubtful
whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the
purposes of this Will that the beneficiary predeceased me.

ANSWER TO PETITION FOR CITATION TO COMPEL
FILING OF INVENTORY AND APPRAISEMENT
AND NOW comes Elaine M. Spriggs, Executrix, by and through her counsel, Jeffrey R.
Boswell, Esquire, and the law firm of Boswell, Tintner, Piccola & Alford, and makes this
Answer to Petition for Citation and in support thereof, states, as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Denied. The Executrix was unable to prepare an inventory until the settlement of
income tax and other estate issues.
7. Admitted as to Elaine M. Spriggs. Ronald O. Keirn died on February 20,2001.
8. Admitted.
9. Admitted in part, and denied in part. The Executrix admits that HCR ManorCare's
claim has been reduced to $21,223.86. However, the Executrix denies that the reduction was due
only to decedent's being approved to receive medical assistance benefits. By way of further
answer, the decedent's Guardian made significant payments to HCR ManorCare, and decedent's
estate has or will make partial payments to the extent required by law, as decedent's estate is
insolvent, and payments have or will be made, pro rata, to Class 3 claimants.
10. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Executrix respectfully requests that this matter be dismissed, as all
actions have or will be taken to complete the administration of this decedent's estate, as set forth
in the Estate Settlement Agreement filed of record.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR ADJUDICATION OF INCAPACITY AND
APPOINTMENT OF PLENARY GUARDIAN OF THE ESTATE AND
PERSON IN ACCORDANCE WITH 20 PA. CONS. STAT. & 5511
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
AND NOW comes Jeffrey R. Boswell, Esquire, and Boswell, Tintner, Piccola &
Wickersham, for Elaine M. Spriggs, and makes this Petition for the reasons set forth, as follows:
1. Petitioner Elaine M. Spriggs is the daughter ofFae C. Keirn, the alleged incapacitated
person.
2. The alleged incompetent was born on January 1,1914, was named Fay Lorene
Clouser, and was married to Ronald Orville Keirn. The said Ronald Orville Keirn died on
February 20,2001.
3. Mrs. Keirn currently resides at ManorCare Camp Hill 583, 1700 Market Street, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania 17011; ManorCare Camp Hill is a nursing facility in the Borough of Camp
Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Keirn has resided since December 10, 1998.
4. The only living next of kin of the incapacitated person is the daughter, Elaine M.
Spriggs, of 1039 Country Club Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
5. To the extent known by the Petitioner, the assets of the alleged incapacitated person
are valued at approximately $130,000; the assets include no real estate; the assets include value
in an annuity contract.

which is comprised of social security benefits of $284, per month, and United States Office of
Personnel Management retirement benefits of $2,364, per month.
7. Petitioner has learned that the alleged incompetent presently has no retirement income

8. The alleged incapacitated person was not a member of the Armed Services of the
United States and is not receiving benefits from the United States Veterans' Administration.
9. The alleged incapacitated person suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
10. Because of the progressive nature of Alzheimer's disease, the alleged incapacitated
person cannot manage her financial affairs, property, and business, and cannot make responsible
decisions.
11. The mental impairment impeads her ability to make decisions and to communicate
her need for assistance in these areas, thereby necessitating the appointment of a plenary
guardianship of her estate.
12. The severity of the alleged incapacitated person's mental and physical condition
and the lack of viable, less restrictive alternatives necessitate that a plenary guardian of her estate
be appointed to manage and to handle all aspects of the alleged incapacitated person's estate,
specifically including, but not limited to: all issues relating to her cash, checks, and any bank or
savings accounts held in her name, her stocks and bonds, her personal property, her real estate,
her life and other insurance of which she is a beneficiary, her entitlement to any governmental
and non-governmental benefit plans, federal, state, and local taxes, claims made or to be made on
behalf of her or against her, the execution of documents, entry into contracts affecting her and the
payment of reasonable compensation or costs to provide services for her.
13. The severity of the alleged incapacitated person's mental and physical condition and
the lack of viable, less restricted alternatives necessitate that a plenary guardian of her person be
appointed to handle all issues relating to the person of the alleged incapacitated person,
specifically including, but not limited to: her living arrangements, her medical and psychiatric
care, the administration of medication to her, and the employment and discharge of physicians,
psychiatrists, dentists, nurses, therapists and other professionals for her physical and mental
treatment and care.
14. Petitioner notes that the alleged incapacitated person executed a Power of Attorney
document on January 16, 1995, naming Petitioner as Attorney-in-Fact to act jointly with Ronald
O. Keirn. Ronald O. Keirn died on February 20,2001. The Power of Attorney document is not
acceptable to the United States Office of Personnel Management.
15. Petitioner is aware the alleged incapacitated person signed an advance healthcare
directive designating her husband (who is now deceased) as her agent over her medical care and
that she designated in writing her wishes with regard to healthcare, including the use or refusal of
life-sustaining treatment.
16. The proposed plenary guardian of the person of the alleged incapacitated person is
her daughter, Elaine M. Spriggs, who resides at 1039 Country Club Road, Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania 17011.
17. The proposed plenary guardian of the person, Elaine M. Spriggs, is 58 years of age
and has handled personal, financial, and business responsibilities with regard to her mother and
her now deceased father for the past three years.
18. The proposed plenary guardian has no interest adverse to the alleged incapacitated
person.
19. The consents of the proposed plenary guardian is attached at Exhibit "A."
20. No other court has ever assumed jurisdiction in any proceeding to determine the
capacity of the alleged incapacitated person.
21. No other guardian has been appointed for the estate or person of the alleged
incapacitated person.
22. Peter M. Brier, M.D., who is Mrs. Keirn's physician, has expressed his opinion that
Mrs. Keirn is unable to handle her personal and financial affairs due to her infirm, mental, and
physical condition, as further set forth in the affidavit which is attached and incorporated as
Exhibit "B."
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court adjudge Fae
c. Keirn a fully incapacitated person, and appoint Elaine M. Spriggs plenary guardian of

1. Fae C. Keim died on April 12, 2002.
2. The Estate of Fae C. Kiem is now in the process of administration, with Letters
Testamentary having been duly granted to the stated Executrix by the Register of Wills of
Cumberland County on July 24, 2002. Jeffrey R. Boswell, Esquire has served as legal counsel.
3. In August, 2002, counsel prepared and arranged for the publication of the required legal
advertisements, which proofs of publication are attached as Exhibit "A" and "B."
4. The Executrix established an estate checking account at Waypoint Bank and paid
therefrom the expenses of administration and debts as listed on the Inheritance Tax Return.
5. The beneficiary acknowledges receipt of the Rule 5.6 Notice regarding notice of her
beneficial interest in the estate. Counsel prepared a Certification of Notice Under Rule 5.6 (a) and
filed same with the Register of Wills of Cumberland County on or about August 29, 2002.
6. The Executrix gathered all assets and determined that the assets were insufficient to pay
the decedent's expenses of administration and debts.
7. The parties acknowledge and agree that the decedent was the surviving spouse of
Ronald O. Keim, who had died on February 20, 2001, and thereby decedent received distributions
from her husband's estate which were paid to Elaine M. Spriggs, Plenary Guardian of the Person
and the Estate ofFae C. Keirn.
9. The parties acknowledge that Elaine M. Spriggs, Plenary Guardian of the Person and
of the Estate ofFae C. Keirn, has filed a First and Final Account and a Motion to Terminate the

10. The parties acknowledge and agree that the said Fae C. Keirn had applied for and

claim dated August 29,2002, notes a claim in the amount of$16,202.44, a Class 3 priority claim.
A copy of same is attached as Exhibit "C."

be paid on a pro rata basis." This letter is attached as Exhibit "F."
15. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Executrix has insufficient funds for
payment of 100% of claims and, therefore, will pay the Class 3 claims pro rata from the present
balance of $5,811.65 in the estate checking account, as follows:
P A Department of Public Welfare
Neighborhood Care (Rx)
$21,233.86 @ 56.650/0 = $3,292.30

$35.98 @ 0.1 % = $5.81
HCR ManorCare

Dear Attorney Boswell:
Please be advised that the Department of Public Welfare maintains a
claim in the amount of $16,202.44 against the above-mentioned estate. This
claim is for restitution of medical assistance granted on behalf of the
decedent for which the Probate Estate is now responsible to reimburse the
Department according to Act 49, 62 P.S. 1412, effective August 15, 1994, as
amended by Act 20-95, effective June 3D, 1995. Enclosed is the Department's
itemized statement of claim.
A portion of this medical expense, namely $16,202.44, was incurred
during the last six months of the decedent's life; therefore, it is a Class 3
claim pursuant to Section 3392 of the Decedents, Estates, and Fiduciaries
Code, 20 Pa. C.S.A. 3392(3}. The balance of the claim, namely $.00, is to be
entered as a priority Class 6 claim against the estate. ----
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and advise whether the
Commonwealth's claim is admitted and when payment may be expected. If the
estate accounting is complete, please provide a copy. If the estate contains
real estate, please provide copies of the deed, the l~test tax assessment,
and a current appraisal, if available.
Sincerely,
Ca,J~. ~

LAST WILL AND TEST AMENT
OF
FAE C. KEIM
Introductory Clause. I, FAE C. KEIM, a resident of and domiciled in the
Township of Lower Allen, County of Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
I am married to RONALD O. KEIM.
I have two living children: ELAINE M. SPRIGGS and LINDA KAY KEIM.
ITEM I
Direction to Pav Debts. I direct that all my legally enforceable debts, secured and
unsecured, be paid as soon as practicable after my death.
ITEM II
Direction to Pav All Taxes from Residuary Estate. I direct that all estate,
inheritance, succession, death or similar taxes (except generation-skipping transfer taxes)
assessed with respect to my estate herein disposed of, or any part thereof, or on any
bequest or devise contained in this my Last Will (which term wherever used herein shall
include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held
jointly by me with another or on any transfer made by me during my lifetime or on any
other property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes be
paid out of my residuary estate and shall not be charged to or against any recipient,
beneficiary, transferee or owner of any such property or interests in property included in
my estate for such tax purposes.
ITEM III
Outright Gift of All Property to Husband. Contingent Gift to Issue. I give, devise
and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and
description (including lapsed legacies and devises) wherever situate and whether
acquired before or after the execution of this Will, absolutely in fee simple to my
husband, RONALD O. KEIM, if he shall survive me. If he shall not survive me, then I
Page 1
give, devise and bequeath all of the property to my surviving children in equal shares,
provided, however, the then living issue of a deceased child of mine shall take per stirpes
the share their parent would have taken had he or she survived me.
ITEM IV
Naming the Personal Reoresentative. Personal Representative Succession.
Personal Reoresentative's Fees and Other Matters. The provisions for naming the
Personal Representative, Personal Representative succession, Personal Representative's
fees and other matters are set forth below:
(1) Naming Individuals as Personal Representative. I hereby nominate,
constitute, and appoint as Personal Representatives of this my Last Will and Testament
RONALD O. KEIM and ELAINE M. SPRIGGS and direct that they shall serve without
bond.
(2) Individual Personal Representatives Succession. If any individual Personal
Representative should fail to qualify as Personal Representative hereunder, or for any
reason should cease to act in such capacity, the remaining individual Personal
Representatives shall continue to serve without a successor or substitute.
(3) Fee Schedule for Individual Personal Reoresentative. For its services as
Personal Representative, the individual Personal Representative shall receive reasonable
compensation for the services rendered and reimbursement for reasonable expenses.
ITEM V
Definition of Personal Representative. Whenever the word "Personal
Representative" or any modifying or substituted pronoun therefor is used in this my Will,
such words and respective pronouns shall include both the singular and the plural, the
masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and shall apply equally to the Personal
Representative named herein and to any successor or substitute Personal Representative
acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute Personal Representative shall possess
all the rights, powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon the Personal
Representative originally named herein.
ITEM VI
Powers for Personal Representative. By way of illustration and not of limitation
and in addition to any inherent, implied or statutory powers granted to Personal
Representatives generally, my Personal Representative is specifically authorized and
empowered with respect to any property, real or personal, at any time held under any
provision of this my Will: to allot, allocate between principal and income, assign,.
Page 2
borrow, buy, care for, collect, compromise claims, contract with respect to, continue any
business of mine, convey, convert, deal with, dispose of, enter into, exchange, hold,
improve, incorporate any business of mine, invest, lease, manage, mortgage, grant and
exercise options with respect to, take possession of, pledge, receive, release, repair, sell,
sue for, to make distributions or divisions in cash or in kind or partly in each without
regard to the income tax basis of such asset, and in general, to exercise all the powers in
the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the management of
similar property owned in his or her own right, upon such terms and conditions as to my
Personal Representative may seem best, and to execute and deliver any and all
instruments and to do all acts which my Personal Representative may deem proper or
necessary to carry out the purposes of this my Will, without being limited in any way by
the specific grants of power made, and without the necessity of a court order.
ITEM VII
Discretion Granted to Personal Representative in Reference to Tax Matters. My
Personal Representative as the fiduciary of my estate shall have the discretion, but shall
not be required when allocating receipts of my estate between income and principal, to
make adjustments in the rights of any beneficiaries, or among the principal and income
accounts to compensate for the consequences of any tax decision or election, or of any
investment or administrative decision, that my Personal Representative believes has had
the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries
over others; provided, however, my Personal Representative shall not exercise its
discretion in a manner which would cause the loss or reduction of the marital deduction
as may be herein provided. In determining the state or federal estate and income tax
liabilities of my estate, my Personal Representative shall have discretion to select the
valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the allowable administration
expenses in my estate shall be used as state or federal estate tax deductions or as state
or federal income tax deductions and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax
return with my husband.
ITEM VIII
Definition of Children. For purposes of this Will, "children" means the lawful
blood descendants in the first degree of the parent designated; and "issue" and
"descendants" mean the lawful blood descendants in any degree of the ancestor
designated; provided, however; that if a person has been adopted, that person shall be
considered a child of such adopting parent and such adopted child and his or her issue
shall be considered as issue of the adopting parent or parents and of anyone who is by
blood or adoption an ancestor of the adopting parent or either of the adopting parents.
The terms "child," "children," "issue," "descendant" and "descendants" or those terms
preceded by the terms '1iving" or "then living" shall include the lawful blood descendant
in the first degree of the parent designated even though such descendant is born after
the death of such parent. .
Page 3
The term "per stirpes" as used herein has the identical meaning as the term
"taking by representation" as defined in the Pennsylvania Probate Code.
ITEM IX
Definition of Words Relating to the Internal Revenue Code. As used herein, the
words "gross estate," "adjusted gross estate," "taxable estate," "unified credit," "state death
tax credit," "maximum marital deduction," "marital deduction," "pass," and any other
word or words which from the context in which it or they are used refer to the Internal
Revenue Code shall have the same meaning as such words have for the purposes of
applying the Internal Revenue Code to my estate. For purposes of this Will, my
"available generation-skipping transfer exemption" means the generation-skipping transfer
tax exemption provided in section 2631 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, in effect at the time of my death reduced by the aggregate of (1) the amount,
if any, of my exemption allocated to lifetime transfers of mine by me or by operation of
law, and (2) the amount, if any, I have specifically allocated to other property of my
gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. For purposes of this Will if at the time of
my death I have made gifts with an inclusion ratio of greater than zero for which the gift
tax return due date has not expired (including extensions) and I have not yet filed a
return, it shall be deemed that my generation-skipping transfer exemption has been
allocated to these transfers to the extent necessary (and possible) to exempt the
transfer(s) from generation-skipping transfer tax. Reference to sections of the Internal
Revenue Code and to the Internal Revenue Code shall refer to the Internal Revenue
Code amended to the date of my death.
ITEM X
Statement by Testatrix of Intent Not to Exercise Power of Appointment. I hereby
refrain from exercising any power of appointment that I may have at the time of my
death.
ITEM XI
Simultaneous Death Provision Presuming Beneficiary Predeceases Testatrix. If
any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would make it doubtful
whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the
purposes of this Will that the beneficiary predeceased me.

Dear Attorney Boswell:
Please be advised that the Department of Public Welfare maintains a
claim in the amount of $16,202.44 against the above-mentioned estate. This
claim is for restitution of medical assistance granted on behalf of the
decedent for which the Probate Estate is now responsible to reimburse the
Department according to Act 49, 62 P.S. 1412, effective August 15, 1994, as
amended by Act 20-95, effective June 30, 1995. Enclosed is the Department's
itemized statement of claim.
A portion of this medical expense, namely $16,202.44, was incurred
during the last six months of the decedent's life; therefore, it is a Class 3
claim pursuant to Section 3392 of the Decedents, Estates, and Fiduciaries
Code, 20 Pa. C.S.A. 3392(3). The balance of the claim, namely $.00, is to be
entered as a priority Class 6 claim against the estate. ----
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and advise whether the
Commonwealth's claim is admitted and when payment may be expected. If the
estate accounting is complete, please provide a copy. If the estate contains
real estate, please provide copies of the deed, the latest tax assessment,
and a current appraisal, if available.
Sincerely,
l~~.~
