Rehkamp, specially sitting Senior Judge of the Orphans' Court of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. AND NOW, comes the Petitioner Robert G. Frey, Executor of the Estate of Linwood B. Phillips, Jr., hereby requests this Honorable Court to issue a citation in the above matter directed to Harvey H. Shapiro to show cause why any and all claims which he has against the Estate of Linwood B. Phillips, Jr., be dismissed with prejudice. 1. The above-named decedent, Linwood B. Phillips, Jr., died testate on February 2, 2006. 2. On or about February 8, 2006, Robert G. Frey, was duly appointed the Executor of the Decedent's Estate and letters testamentary were issued to Your Petitioner. 3. At the time of Decedent's death, Decedent was married to Alice R. Phillips. 4. Despite a prenuptial agreement, Alice R. Phillips, filed for an elective share of the Estate challenging the validity of the prenuptial agreement. 5. During the time of the ongoing controversy between the Executor of the Estate and Alice R. Phillips, Alice R. Phillips continued to reside in the marital home of Linwood B. Phillips, Jr., located at 93 Encks Mill Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 6. Your Executor has been presented with a claim by an adult individual, Harvey H. Shapiro, claiming that he left various personal property in the marital home known as 93 Encks Mill Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. (A copy of that claim is hereby attached as Exhibit "A.") 7. Alice R. Phillips has since vacated the property and it does not appear that any of the property claimed by Harvey H. Shapiro remains at the marital residence. 8. Your Executor believes that Mr. Shapiro has no basis to make a claim against the Estate. Even if there is any truth to the allegations set forth in Mr. Shapiro's letter and exhibits, such claims would be properly made against Alice R. Phillips, not the Estate of Linwood B. Phillips, Jr. WHEREFORE, Your Petitioner requests that this Honorable Court issue a decree awarding a citation against Harvey H. Shapiro to show cause why his claim against the Estate of Linwood B. Phillips, Jr., should not be dismissed. MARTSON LAW OFFICES By f~ ~ y~b~ George B. Fallet~r`[, Jr., Esquire I.D.
