PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COMPLAINT OF PLAINTIFF, JOSEPH
ANDREOLI
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Paula Oesterling, by and through counsel, Lee E.
Oesterling, Esquire and files these preliminary objections to Plaintiffs Complaint.
1. On or about April 14° 2009 Plaintiff initiated the above action by filing a
Complaint wherein, plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant for funeral costs
associated with the funeral and burial expenses of Mrs. Oesterling's stepfather and
Plaintiffs father Antonio Andreoli (hereinafter the "decedent.")
2. Prior to the death of her stepfather, Defendant was Antonio Andreoli's Attorney
in Fact/Power of Attorney. (A true and correct copy of the POA for Antonio Andreoli is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A").
3. Mrs. Oesterling was also Attorney in Fact/Power of Attorney for her mother and
the wife of the decedent Giovanna Andreoli. ( A true and correct copy of POA for
Giovanna Andreoli is attached hereto as Exhibit "B.")
4. For several years prior to their deaths in September 2007 and February 2008
respectively, the Defendant also housed, provided medical care for and assisted her
mother and step-father in managing their financial affairs in accordance with the attached
Powers of Attorney, including, but not necessarily limited to, assistance with paying bills
and making bank deposits on their behalf. Defendant notes that the parties managed their
own checking account as a matter of continuing to remain independent and also to
maintain as much of their privacy as possible. To the best of Defendant's knowledge,
information and belief her parents were solvent at all times prior to their respective
deaths.
5. Prior to their death both the decedent Antonio Andreoli and Giovanna Andreoli
represented to Defendant that they were able to maintain financial responsibility for any
funeral arrangements and had even established to Defendant that they had taken actions
such as purchasing a vault in Gate of Heaven Cemetery and covering their burial costs.
6. On September 4, 2007 Antonio Andreoli died at Defendant's home after
complications from a protracted illness.
7. On that same date Defendant who was already distraught from her step-father's
death and her mother's condition relative thereto went to Malpezzi Funeral home to make
arrangements for the service, mass and opening of the vault to inter the decedent Antonio
Andreoli. Defendant was asked by her mother to "take care of things" and assured her
daughter, (the Defendant), that she would be able to pay for any costs that were not
already covered.
8. Defendant, Paula Oesterling signed the document attached to Plaintiff's Complaint
as Exhibit "A" in her capacity as Power of Attorney for her mother, Giovanna Andreoli.
9. The funeral home staff were aware that Defendant was signing in this capacity.
10. After the burial of the decedent, Antonio Andreoli, his wife Giovanna Andreoli
fell ill and any monies she received from Social Security were put in suspense due to her
medical treatment and possible Medicaid liens.
11. Giovanna Andreoli died on February 5, 2009 at the home of the Defendant.
12. An estate is presently open for Giovanna Andreoli in the Orphans Court for the 9t'
Judicial District Cumberland County Pennsylvania.
PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH P&&C P 1028(x) (1)
FOR LACK OF IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION
13. Paragraphs 1 through 12 are incorporated by reference thereto.
14. The obligation for the funeral expenses of Antonio Andreoli was not binding upon
Paula Oesterling as she was acting in her capacity as Power of Attorney to bind the
principal Giovanna Andreoli as the guarantor of any future payments to Malpezzi Funeral
Home.
15. The Defendant Paula Oesterling is not personally liable for acts that are within her
authority and her fiduciary obligations to her mother (the principal).
16. The Plaintiffs claim is lacking for failure of in personam jurisdiction over the
Defendant Paula Oesterling as his actual remedy is against the estate of Giovanna
Andreoli.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Paula Oesterling respectfully request that this Honorable
Court issue an Order sustaining the instant preliminary objection and dismissing the claim
of Plaintiff Joseph Andreoli.
PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PaR,C.P 1028(a)(4)
FOR LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING
17. Paragraphs 1 through 16 are incorporated by reference thereto.
18. Defendant is not personally liable on the note as she was acting in her capacity as
Power of Attorney to bind the Principal Giovanna Andreoli at her direction and consent.
19. Defendant is not personally liable and she therefore cannot be jointly and severally
liable.
20. Defendant is not personally liable and therefore there exists no privity of contract
between the Plaintiff and the funeral home.
21. Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action that can be prosecuted and therefore
Defendant has no obligation to defend and as a matter of law may demur.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Paula Oesterling respectfully request that this Honorable
Court issue an Order sustaining the instant preliminary objection and dismissing the claim
of Plaintiff Joseph Andreoli.
PRELIMIlVARY OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PaR.('.p 10
FOR LACK OF CAPACITY TO SUE AND FAILURE TO JOIN PARTY
22. Paragraphs 1 through 22 are incorporated by reference thereto.
23. Plaintiffs remedy is against the principal Giovanna Andreoli and her estate.
24. Plaintiff has failed to establish in personam jurisdiction against the proper party
(the estate of Giovanna Andreoli) and has failed to join Giovanna Andreoli as a party to
this action.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Paula Oesterling respectfully request that this Honorable
Court issue an Order sustaining the instant preliminary objection and dismissing the claim
of Plaintiff Joseph Andreoli.
