ANSWER
AND NOW COMES the Defendant, JEFFREY L. ZAMBERLAN, EXECUTOR OF THE
ESTATE OF GEORGE G. ZAMBERLAN, DECEASED, and avers the following in support of the
Answer herein:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted in part and denied in par[. It is admitted that Jeffrey L. Zamberlan is the
of the Estate of George B. Zamberlan, Deceased and that Jeffrey L. Zamberlan's current
residence is 111 Putnam Street, Scott Depot, West Virginia. It is denied, however, that Jeffrey L.
Zamberlan in his individual capacity is the "real owner" of the property described in the complaint.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. The mortgage is not in default because of the lack of monthly payments by the
Estate. Rather, the Plaintiff has wrongfully and repeatedly refused to accept lawful and legal tender of the
monthly payments of the mortgage and Plaintiff's legal counsel has refused to return telephone calls
placed to it concerning the Plaintiff's wrongful refusal to accept payment of the outstanding mortgage and
has therefore engaged in a practice so as to manipulate the proceedings thus filed and as such, Plaintiff
has engaged in wrongfully and legally indefensible actions concerning this matter.
6. Denied. Defendant is without any information or knowledge concerning the enumerated
amounts claimed by the Plaintiff. The amounts stated are therefore disputed and unsubstantiated and are
denied as it relates to any legal entitlement to Plaintiff concerning attorney fees.
7. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff is entitled to any attorney fees due to the wrongful
conduct of the Plaintiff as stated supra. Further is it denied that Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorney
fees.
8. Denied. Defendant is without any information and belief concerning this allegation and,
further, to the extent this is a statement of law, no response is required and it is therefore denied with strict
proof of same demanded.
9. Denied. The owner of the property died on October 27, 20{I}; however, the Estate has
,
had possession and occupation of the property since the date of appointment of the Executor. Further, to
the extent this is a statement of law, no response is required and it is therefore denied with strict proof of
same demanded.
10. Admitted in art and Denied in art. It is admitted that the Mortgagor, George B.
Zamberlan died on October 27, 20011 and that the Mortgagor's Last Will, dated December 9, 1998, was
duly probated and Jeffrey L. Zamberlan was appointed executor with Letters Testamentary granted on
November 17, 2000 from the Cumberland County Register of Wills. It is denied, however, that Jeffrey L.
Zamberlan is the sole next-of-kin.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiff's complaint be denied and
dismissed with prejudice.
Respectfully submitted:
