DIXON, III AND RICHARD E. DIXO~~'O rv PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND : L> o CONCLUSIONS OF LAW OF MARSHALL DIXON, EXECUTOR ~~' I. Reply Findings of Fact 1. Simply because a statement is made in "Marshall Dixon's Answer to Motion to Extend Discovery Deadline" filed with the Court does not make it a fact of record. 2. Marshall Dixon did not provide all documents "related to Mrs. Dixon's financial affairs" as alleged in paragraph 12 of the Proposed Findings of Fact of Marshall Dixon, Executor (hereinafter referred to as "Executor at para. 12") 3. The Brothers did not receive all of the monthly account statements and all of the cancelled checks for the M&T checking account as alleged by Executor at para. 14. 4. The Brothers' counsel was not fully aware of the extent to which the Executor's interrogatory responses were incomplete at the time the responses were submitted (see Executor at para. 26) -but determined them to be significantly incomplete based on later discovery, including the deposition of Marshall Dixon. . l rt '~ c.~ ~, a ~~,% Contrary to the characterization in Executor at para. 30, the Brothers' Motion to Extend Discovery Deadline was sought "to further investigate Marshall Dixon's finances." Motion to Extend Discovery Deadline at para. 10. 6. Present counsel for the Brothers was not involved in the Discovery Conference of October 11, 2009 and has no knowledge or information regarding whether Brothers' prior counsel "conceded that they were unable to prove that Mrs. Dixon had been subject to incapacity or undue influence during her lifetime." Executor at para. 32. The Brothers have no knowledge or information that such a concession was made and would not have accepted it. Nevertheless, at the Pre-Hearing Conference of February 12, 2010, counsel was told that the Brothers were precluded from presenting evidence of incapacity or undue influence. 7. The Brothers have consistently contended that there were transfers of substantial assets by Marshall Dixon that were includable in the estate of Lottie Ivy Dixon that were not accounted for. 8. The Auditor's Report on Discovery Issues, for example, noted that the Brothers "question dozens of checks in the total amount of approximately $220,000 that were drawn against that account to pay various credit card statements or otherwise to or for the benefit of Marshall." That Report also noted the Brothers' concerns about brokerage accounts for both Marshall Dixon and Mrs. Dixon. 9. Although Marshall Dixon may have produced some of his personal brokerage account statements required by the Auditor's Report of November 20, 2009, the statements produced were limited in time period covered and it is unknown whether all statements for all brokerage accounts were produced. See Executor at para. 36. Additional 4468181 2 brokerage account statements are required to properly trace funds and track the use of the accounts by Marshall Dixon, both his own and that of Mrs. Dixon, including his use of margin accounts that leveraged the assets in Mrs. Dixon's account. 10. The Brothers' discovery requests, discussed in the Auditor's Report "specified as requests for copies of credit card statements of Marshall for accounts where bills were paid by Lottie from 2001 through her date of death, requests for information as to whether or not various credit cards were accounts of Marshall or his related business entities" apparently slipped through the cracks and were not resolved by the Auditor's Report. Information responsive to those discovery requests was never produced and would be essential to properly track the misuse of estate assets. 11. The Brothers have been denied a full and fair opportunity to develop complete financial data with which to trace, track and analyze the misuse or misappropriation of estate assets. 12. The Brothers' various Pre-Hearing Memoranda discussed the assets they contended were not included in the estate - as best they could on the basis of the information made available -and identified exhibits and witnesses as required. 13. While the Court granted leave to the Martson Firm to withdraw as counsel for the Brothers by Order entered December 14, 2009, the pre-trial conference was scheduled for February 12, 2010 by the same Order. 14. The Brothers' present counsel, undersigned attorneys, retained as of January 22, 2010, had only twenty (20) days to prepare this substantial estate matter for the Final Pre-trial Conference and just over thirty (30) days to prepare for the hearing. 4468181 3 15. The Brothers' Supplemental Pre-trial Memorandum Addendum, as noted by Executor at para. 48, again included a list of checks written from the M&T account that amount to at least $154,743.74 and a supplemental list of checks that amount to at least $43,591.41. The original list was first provided by Marshall Dixon in discovery responses. Executor conceded that these transactions reflect checks written on the M&T account to or for the benefit of Marshall Dixon. The list of checks and the supplemental list is attached as Exhibit B. 16. As noted by Executor, the Auditor precluded the Brothers from introducing any evidence regarding the checks drawn on the M&T joint checking account (Executor at para. 53), and that included questioning of the Executor/Marshall Dixon. 17. The Brothers were precluded from questioning the Executor regarding the M&T joint checking account, except on a limited basis after Marshall Dixon was called as a witness as Executor of the Estate. 18. The Brothers were unfairly restricted in their ability to present their case. 19. The only witness called by the Executor, Marshall Dixon, was Marshall Dixon. 20. There was no independent evidence introduced by Marshall Dixon to establish the nature and circumstances of the checks written or transfers made to him or for his benefit from the joint account. 21. There was no independent evidence introduced by Marshall Dixon to establish that each of the many checks written on the joint account or transfers made to him or for his benefit were valid inter vivos gifts from the decedent. 4468181 4 22. Marshall Dixon's testimony that he wrote checks from the joint checking account primarily during the last year or so of Mrs. Dixon's life - as summarized by Executor at para. 74 -was not accurate and not credible. 23. Marshall Dixon wrote numerous checks from the joint checking account primarily to or for his own benefit going back to at least 2004. 24. There were many joint account checks written to credit card companies as payments for Marshall Dixon's credit card accounts and signed by Marshall Dixon. 25. An impartial, neutral executor should have fully questioned and investigated the suspect use of the joint checking account and estate assets by Marshall Dixon. 26. Prior to the hearing, the record had already established at least some of the payments and transfers made from the checking account to or for the benefit of Marshall Dixon -See, e.g., Exhibit B -that should be returned to the estate. 27. Because of the confidential relationship that existed between Marshall Dixon and his mother, evidence relating to the use or misuse of the joint checking account and estate assets is within the exclusive province and control of Marshall Dixon. II. Reply Conclusions of Law 1. In this case, Marshall Dixon, as alleged donee, has the burden of proof by clear, convincing, precise and independent evidence that monies paid out of the checking account to or for his benefit were valid and legitimate inter vivos gifts. 2. With regard to the joint account, pursuant to 20 Pa. C.S. § 6304(a), Marshall Dixon, as surviving party, was entitled to the sum remaining on deposit at the death of Lottie Ivy Dixon. aa6stst 5 3. However, unless proven to be valid inter vivos gifts, funds paid to or for the benefit of Marshall Dixon during Mrs. Dixon's lifetime out of the joint checking account are property of the estate and must be returned to the estate. See e.g., In re Novosielski, 2010 WL 1078284 (Pa. Mar. 25, 2010). 4. The joint checking account did not regenerate on its own -the account was regularly replenished by depositing monies from other funds or accounts that were estate assets, including the Revocable Trust. Thus, Marshall Dixon's improper use of the joint checking account for his own benefit certainly did drain the estate. 5. The addition of Marshall Dixon to the pre-existing checking account of Lottie Ivy Dixon to make it a joint account did nothing to change complete ownership of the account by decedent during her lifetime - as provided by 20 Pa.C.S. § 6303(a). See In re Nnv~sielski_ 6. The Multiple Party Accounts Act ("MPAA") makes clear that joint accounts with a presumed right of survivorship are not treated as inter vivos gifts. The joint account operates only as a disposition at death. Id. 7. Marshall Dixon had no right of ownership in the joint account funds until the death of Lottie Ivy Dixon, the contributing owner of the account. Id. 8. There was no evidence, and certainly no clear and convincing evidence, that Mrs. Dixon intended the addition of Marshall Dixon on her checking account to be an immediate transfer of ownership of the funds in the account. 9. In fact, the evidence is to the contrary: (a) Mrs. Dixon was the primary check writer and retained control of the checkbook; (b) Marshall Dixon allegedly felt it was required to have Mrs. Dixon's approval for any checks he wrote on the account; (c) it 4468181 6 was a matter of convenience to have Marshall Dixon be able to sign checks as Mrs. Dixon encountered advancing age and health problems. 10. Marshall Dixon's testimony that all of the payments and transfers from the joint account to him or for his benefit were either gifts to him or reimbursements was not credible. 11. Marshall Dixon's testimony that decedent was aware of all bills paid or transfers made electronically from the joint account was not credible. 12. Estate of D'Alessio, 2004 WL 3186286, 26 Fiduc. Rep. 2d 236 (C.P. Phila. 2004) does not stand for the blanket propositions for which it is cited by Marshall Dixon (Executor's Proposed Conclusions of Law at para. l ). That case involved whether objectors overcame the presumption of survivorship under MPAA Section 6304 by showing by clear and convincing evidence that the decedent had a contrary intent. Our case involves the presumption under MPAA Section 6303, where the burden is on Marshall Dixon. 13. In the case at bar, the law in Pennsylvania is clear and well-settled that Marshall Dixon has the burden to establish valid inter vivos gifts of the payments and transfers made from the joint account by "clear, precise, direct and convincing evidence." Ems, In re Pappas Estate, 428 Pa. 540, 239 A.Zd 298 (1968); Hera v. McCormick, 425 Pa. Super. 432, 625 A.2d 682 (1993). 14. The funds in the joint account are presumed to be and were in fact owned by Mrs. Dixon during her lifetime. Payments or transfers of those funds made improperly by Marshall Dixon or without qualifying as valid inter vivos gifts remained her property and must be returned to the estate. 4468181 '] 1 S. Marshall Dixon failed to overcome the presumption that the checking account established by Mrs. Dixon belonged to Mrs. Dixon and no transfer of ownership occurred by the addition of Marshall Dixon's name on the account in 2003. 16. Marshall Dixon failed to satisfy his heavy burden of proof as the alleged donee to establish valid inter vivos gifts, including donative intent and delivery, by clear, precise and convincing evidence from legally competent witnesses. 17. There is no proof, aside from Marshall Dixon, that "the decedent intended or comprehended" that she was making unfettered gifts to Marshall Dixon by countless checks and electronic transfers. See Hawk Estate, 8 Fiduc. Rep. 2d 391 (Allegh. 1988). 18. The Brothers did not waive any objection to Marshall Dixon's testimony under the Dead Man's Rule. First of all, the Brothers objected to questioning of Marshall Dixon concerning what decedent knew or intended or was aware of with regard to transactions from the joint account. See Transcript at 86-87. Secondly, although Marshall Dixon was called as a witness as of cross by the Brothers, his counsel objected to, and the Auditor precluded, any testimony relating to the joint checking account checks. Counsel for Marshall Dixon cannot have it both ways - he cannot be deemed to have become a "competent" witness by being called as of cross and then preclude the Brothers from eliciting any testimony about the checks. 19. The Brothers never had the opportunity as of cross to initiate testimony from the challenged witness that was adverse to his interest. Therefore, the rationale for the asserted exception to the dead man's statute does not apply and Marshall Dixon did not become fully competent to testify as to matters that occurred before decedent's death. See 4468181 Hera v. McCormick, supra. See also, In re Estate of Hosfeld, 414 Pa. 602, 292 A.2d 69 (1964); Commonwealth Trust Co. v. Szabo, 394 Pa. 272, 138 A.2d 85 (1957). 20. The Brothers did not and were not permitted to "examin[e] him as to matters which occurred during the decedent's lifetime" such as might render Marshall Dixon a competent witness as to such matters. Hosfeld, supra, 414 Pa. at 605, 202 A.2d at 70; Szabo, supra. 21. Here, there was no testimony elicited by Brothers' counsel that would render Marshall Dixon a witness competent to testify as to what decedent knew or intended with regard to checks drawn or transfers made to or for the benefit of Marshall Dixon. Szabo, supra. 22. Marshall Dixon did not "testify against his own interest" as a result of being called as a witness by the Brothers and, therefore, did not "become a fully competent witness" under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5932. 23. Marshall Dixon's self-serving and incredible testimony that each and every payment or transfer made to him or for his benefit was intended as a gift to him by Mrs. Dixon or a reimbursement to him should be stricken as incompetent and inadmissible evidence. 24. Without such testimony, Marshall Dixon is completely unable to make out a prima facie showing of valid inter vivos gifts. Even with this testimony, the clear and convincing standard has not been met. 25. As explained by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in In re Estate of Baker, 495 Pa. 522, 526-527, 434 A.2d 1213, 1215: The difficulty here is the application of the Dead Man's Act where there is an allegation of an inter vivos gift. Appellants argue that the 4468]81 9 evidence shows a gift by decedent to them thereby removing the adverse interest of the decedent and making appellant competent to testify. We have encountered this argument in the past and have fashioned the following answer to it: In such situations, both the alleged donee and the estate have an interest in the property which may be adverse to the interest of the decedent, depending on whether the alleged transfer took place or not. We held [in Ford Estate, 431 Pa. 185, 245 A.2d 443 (1968)] that if a valid inter vivos transfer can be shown by independent evidence before the admission of any testimony by the alleged donee, the donee will be considered to represent the interest of the decedent and will be permitted to testify. Conversely, if the alleged donee fails to establish a prima facie gift by independent testimony before he takes the stand, he will not be competent to testify. Friedeman v. Kronen, 452 Pa. 365, 368-69, 305 A.2d 3, 4 (1973) (emphasis in original). 26. As in Baker, because Marshall Dixon failed to establish a prima facie gift by independent testimony, his own testimony as to the alleged gifts was incompetent. The existence of inter vivos gifts was not proven. 27. In In re Estate of Citrino, 2009 Phila. Ct. Com. Pl. LEXIS 159, the executor son sought an accounting and the return of funds to the estate from a brother who redeemed U.S. savings bonds owned by the deceased mother with a value of $469,024. The brother claimed that decedent had given the bonds to him as a gift prior to her death. The testimony of the brother that decedent had told him "I want you to have the money" was stricken on the basis of the Dead Man's Rule since the brother had not first established a prima facie case of inter vivos gift by other means. The court quoted from Friedeman v. Kronen and Hera v. McCormick regarding the need for independent testimony to establish prima facie evidence of donative intent and delivery before the alleged donee is competent to testify as to a donor's intent to gift. Without the stricken testimony, the court concluded 4468181 1 "there was no evidence -independent or otherwise -that established [decedent's] donative intent to give [brother] her U.S. savings bonds as a valid gift." Slip op. at 21-22. 28. Assuming arguendo that Marshall Dixon's testimony was admissible, the evidence was insufficient to prove donative intent for inter vivos gifts. The evidence here is even less than that found to be insufficient in Hera v. McCormick, supra. It fails to satisfy the "clear and convincing" standard as defined by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The facts are not "distinctly remembered" and the details "narrated exactly" to enable a fact finder to come to a "clear conviction, without hesitancy, of the truth of the precise facts in issue." In re Estate of Fickert, 461 Pa. 653, 658, 337 A.2d 592, 594 (1975); In re Novosielski, supra. 29. Rather, Marshall Dixon made blanket statements that checks and transfers were either gifts or reimbursements without specific recollection for each transaction. 30. In Hosfeld, supra, the testimony of a son, whose name was on a joint savings account, that the decedent mother had made a gift to him of moneys in the account was held to be insufficient to prove a gift inter vivos: "The evidence presented in the case at bar in support of a gift by decedent of the moneys in this account to Hosfeld falls woefully short of the standards required by our case law in proof of such a gift." 414 Pa. at 605, 202 A.2d at 71. 31. If not stricken, the Auditor should reject Marshall Dixon's uncorroborated and self-serving testimony that all of the joint account checks and electronic transfers to him or for his benefit were made at the request of or with the express approval of the decedent. See Estate of Keiper, 308 Pa. Super. 82, 454 A.2d 31 (1982). 4468181 1 1 32. Where the relation of the parties to each other is a confidential relationship, "the law compels the recipient of the bequest or gift to show that it was the free, voluntary and intelligent act of the person giving it...where circumstances make it certain the parties do not deal on equal terms but, on the one side there is an overmastering influence or, on the other, weakness, dependence or trust...." Keiper, supra, 308 Pa. Super. at 87, 454 A.2d at 34. (citations omitted.) 33. "A `natural confidence' existed between decedent and [Marshall Dixon] ..., and decedent could easily have assumed [her] affairs would be administered with [her] best interest in mind." Kei er, supra, 308 Pa. Super. at 86, 454 A.2d at 33. 34. A confidential relationship clearly existed in this case: with Marshall Dixon's signature power on the joint account, having been named as executor, having spent a great deal of time with decedent and supervising her care -see Hera v. McCormick - having administered most of decedent's personal and business affairs "during the waning years of decedent's life" -decedent had reposed trust in Marshall Dixon and rightfully assumed her affairs would be administered with her best interest in mind. Keiper, supra. 35. Thus, because a confidential relationship existed, the burden is on Marshall Dixon to show that the alleged gifts were "fair and free from suspicion." In re Estate of Petro, 694 A.2d 627, 634 (Pa. Super. 1997), appeal denied, 550 Pa. 719 (1997); Hera v. McCormick, supra. He failed to satisfy this burden of proof. 36. Marshall Dixon's Proposed Conclusion of Law No. 11 is nonsense and contrary to the well-established law of Pennsylvania -specifically, Section 6303 of the Multiple Party Accounts Act, In re Novosielski and other cases cited by the Brothers. The funds in the joint checking account belonged to Lottie Ivy Dixon during her lifetime. If 4468181 ] 2 Marshall Dixon "used assets in the joint checking account for his own benefit during the last years of Mrs. Dixon's life" then those funds must be returned to the estate. 37. There was no competent proof, and certainly not clear, precise and convincing evidence of Mrs. Dixon's donative intent for the countless alleged inter vivos gifts to Marshall Dixon. 38. We have no idea, and there is no evidence to establish, what Mrs. Dixon knew or did not know about the use of assets in the joint checking account and/or whether she knew about, comprehended or objected to the extensive checks and transfers to or for the benefit of Marshall Dixon. 39. With regard to Executor's footnote 2, the asserted factual distinctions of Wilhelm, Lessner and Lannin are not relevant. Those cases are cited for their pertinent statement of Pennsylvania law relating to joint accounts and inter vivos gifts -including Section 6303 of the MPAA. During the lifetime of the parties, the joint account belonged to Mrs. Dixon. Marshall Dixon's name was simply added on to her pre-existing checking account. 40. The Brothers have consistently challenged the checks and transfers from the checking account both before and after it became a joint account, including transactions identified by Marshall himself as representing payments to him or for his benefit. See, e.g., Exhibit B. The Brothers' position at the hearing was clear that under Pennsylvania law Marshall Dixon had the burden to prove valid inter vivos gifts by clear and convincing evidence. Eg., Tr. at 52-54. 41. In this case, the Court appointed the Auditor and he was charged with resolving multiple objections by each of the parties in both matters. aabsisi 1 3 42. As in In re Bennett's Estate, 30 D. & C. 148, 153-54 (Pa. Orph. Northampton 1937), cited by Executor, the Brothers' objections here were not "frivolous." Rather, each objection represented: "...a contention started and conducted in good faith, as reasonably calls for the opinion and judgment of a court, as where there is a mixed question of law and fact, as where there are circumstances sufficient to justify an investigation, or where the facts are peculiarly in the possession of the other party." 43. Thus, the Auditor's fees and costs of the audit should be charged to the estate and/or to Marshall Dixon in his individual capacity and in his capacity as Executor. 44. Marshall Dixon should be directed to reimburse the estate in an amount in excess of $200,000. Date: May 14, 2010 Respectfully submitted, OBERMAYER REBMANN MAXWELL & HIPPEL LLP By: Walter W.
