aver as follows:
L After reasonable investigation, Defendants are without knowledge or information

3. The averments of fact in paragraph three (3) are admitted.
4. The Deed referenced in paragraph four (4) and attached as Exhibit "A" to

Plaintiffs Complaint speaks for itself and therefore no response is required. To the extent that a
response is required, any inference by Plaintiff that Defendants do not have valid life estate
interests in their residences on the subject property is specifically denied and strict proof thereof
is demanded at trial.
6. The Deed referenced in paragraph six (6) and attached as Exhibit "C" to
Plaintiff's Complaint speaks for itself and therefore no response is required. To the extent that a
response is required, any inference by Plaintiff that Defendants do not have valid life estate
interests in their residences on the subject property is specifically denied and strict proof thereof
is demanded at trial.
7. The Deed referenced in paragraph seven (7) and attached as Exhibit "D" to
Plaintiff's Complaint speaks for itself and therefore no response is required. To the extent that a
response is required, any inference by Plaintiff that Defendants do not have valid life estate
interests in their residences on the subject property is specifically denied and strict proof thereof

2
10. The averments of fact in paragraph ten (10) are admitted. By way of further

homes, and Plaintiffs representatives were informed of that fact prior to Plaintiff's purchase of
the subject property.
11. The averments of fact in paragraph eleven (11) are admitted. By way of further
answer, Defendants do not just claim to have, but in fact do have valid life estate interests in their
homes, and Plaintiff's representatives were informed of that fact prior to Plaintiff's purchase of

NEW MATTER
25. The averments contained in the Answers to the Complaint are hereby
incorporated by reference and are made part of this New Matter to the Complaint of the Plaintiff.
6
26. Plaintiff had previously been informed by Defendants of the existence of their life
estate interests in their residences on the subject property.
27. Plaintiff had also previously been informed by prior owners of the subject
property of the Defendants' life estate interests in their residences on the subject property.
28. Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. was the father of Defendant Gary M.
Failor and Darla J. Frye, and was also a prior record owner of the subject property as well as
owner/operator of the former Failor's Salvage Yard business located on the subject property.
29. In addition to the salvage yard business and associated office building, the subject
property when owned by Robert W. Failor, Sr. also contained a separate house structure and
multiple mobile homes.
30. One of the mobile homes is owned by Defendant Gary M. Failor, and he and his
wife have resided in that mobile home since approximately 1974.
31. While his parents were alive, Defendant Gary M. Failor paid rent of $25.00 per
month to his father for the lease of the ground on which his mobile home and associated
outbuildings are located.
32. After the passing of Robert W. Failor, Sr. on November 6, 2000, Defendants
Darla J. Frye and her husband, Paul E. Frye, Jr. subsequently moved into the main residence
located on the subject property, and Defendant Gary M. Failor ceased paying rent.
33. The administration of the Estate of Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr.,
was highly contested and resulted in multiple pleadings and causes of action filed in Cumberland
7
County, Pennsylvania, including a civil complaint docketed at No. 2001 - 2239, and Orphan's
Court litigation docketed at No. 21 - 01 -- 0013.
34. Ultimately, on July 12, 2002, an Opinion and Order of Court resolving the
litigation involving the Estate of Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. was signed by the
Honorable Kevin A. Hess, and docketed in the Orphans' Court action. A true and correct copy
of the filed Opinion and Order of Court is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit
"A
35. As part of the Opinion and Order of Court attached hereto Exhibit "A," Judge
Hess adopted as fact that the children of Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. had a
meeting on January 3, 2001, that two (2) of the Decedent's sons would purchase "that portion of
the real estate on which the decedent's salvage yard business is located."
36. Also as part of the Opinion and Order of Court attached hereto Exhibit "A," Judge
Hess adopted as fact that the children of Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. in
exchange "would either receive payment in the amount of $25,000.00 or life estates in the real
estate in full satisfaction of their respective interests as decedent's beneficiaries."
37. In accordance with the Opinion and Order of Court attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
acknowledging the prior agreement of the beneficiaries, the Executrix for the Estate of Robert
W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. ultimately signed agreements on or about July 9, 2003,
granting life estate interests to each of the Defendants.
38. At all relevant times herein since the passing of Robert W. Failor, Sr., Defendants
have occupied their respective residences located on the subject property, without paying any
rent, in accordance with their life estate interests.
8
39. Prior to the Plaintiff's purchase of the salvage yard business, its representatives
and/or owners were informed of the existence of the life estate agreements for the Defendants.
40. Upon information and belief, at the time that Plaintiff purchased the subject
property and salvage yard business, no adjustment was made on the appropriate settlement sheet
for any rent or security deposits as Defendants did not lease their homes.
41. Nevertheless, on or about January 20, 2010, Plaintiff's legal counsel sent letters to
the Defendants demanding that lease agreements be signed and rent be paid to Plaintiff. A true
and correct copy of the letter dated January 20, 2010, and sent to Defendants Garry M. and
Merrilyn Failor is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B."
42. Plaintiffs legal counsel specifically states in her correspondence attached as
Exhibit "B" that the Plaintiff was informed "during the settlement of this property" that certain
"'lifetime' leases" were in existence.
43. In response, the undersigned sent correspondence to Plaintiff's legal counsel
affirming the existence of the Defendants' valid life estate interests, pointing out that her own
letter affirmed the knowledge by Plaintiff of such interests, and refusing the offer of a lease
document. A true and correct copy of the correspondence dated March 4, 2010, is attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C."
44. 21 P.S. §351 provides that in addition to the recording of the actual document
creating an interest in real estate, actual or constructive notice shall also be sufficient.
45. Plaintiff in this matter had both actual and constructive notice of the life estate
interests of the Defendants in this matter.
9
46. Plaintiff has also filed suit in the local Magisterial District Office on at least three
(3) separate occasions against one or more of the Defendants, attempting at least in part to evict
them from their homes.
47. All such prior legal filings were resolved against the Plaintiff.
48. Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state claims or causes of action upon which relief
can be granted.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Gary M. Failor, Merrilyn D. Failor, Paul E. Frye, Jr. and
Darla J. Frye respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter a judgment in their favor and
against Plaintiff in this matter, together with attorney fees, costs, and such other and further relief
as this Court deems just.
COUNTERCLAIM
49. The averments contained in the Answers and New Matter to the Complaint are
hereby incorporated by reference and are made part of this Counterclaim to the Complaint of the
Plaintiff.
50. Despite these clear wording of 21 P.S. §351 with regard to actual and constructive
notice of life estate interests, Plaintiff persists in filing multiple legal proceedings against the
Defendants in an attempt to force them to move from their long held residences.
51. Plaintiff, by his own attorney's letter, admits that its representatives and/or
officers were aware of the life estate interests held by the Defendants.
10
52. Plaintiff's continued actions in filing this matter and as detailed above are
therefore arbitrary, obdurate, vexatious, serving no legitimate purpose, and/or undertaken in bad
faith under Pennsylvania law.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Gary M. Failor, Merrilyn D. Failor, Paul E. Frye, Jr. and
Darla J. Frye respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter a judgment in their favor and
against Plaintiff in this matter, together with attorney fees, costs, and such other and further relief
as this Court deems just.

ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
NO. 21-01-0013
IN RE: PETITION TO REMOVE CO-EXECUTOR AND PETITION TO
RESOLVE DISPUTE BETWEEN PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES
BEFORE HESS, J.
OPINION AND ORDER
This litigation involves a dispute over the administration of the estate of Robert W.
Failor, Sr. Letters Testamentary were granted to two of the decedent's children named as co-
executors in his Will; namely, Robert Failor, Jr. and Gwen Hippensteel. Mr._ Failor's heirs are
his seven children. They met on January 3, 2001, to discuss the disposition of their father's
estate which included a salvage business and associated real estate on Crossroads School Road in
West Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County. At the meeting, it was decided that the
business and property would be conveyed to Steven Failor who would pay his siblings their
share of the value of the estate. These monies were tendered almost immediately.
On April 17, 2001, Robert W. Failor, Jr., one of the co-executors, along with his brother
Ross, brought an action in equity at Cumberland County docket number 01-2239 Equity seeking
to enjoin their brother Steven from entering on to the decedent's real property to operate the
family salvage business and to enjoin him from constructing a home on the premises. A hearing
was held on the matter of preliminary injunctive relief in May of 2001 and the petition was
denied. Subsequently, Gwen Hippensteel filed a petition to remove Robert Failor, Jr., as co-
executor. Robert and Ross Failor, in turn, have filed a petition to resolve the disagreement
e
NO. 21-01-0013
between the co-executors over disposition of decedent's real estate and business assets. Both
matters were joined for hearing. Following hearings in April of 2002, post-trial memoranda
were filed by the parties.
We ate satisfied that the findings of fact proposed by petitioner Hippensteel are amply
supported by the record and we adopt them in pertinent part as follows:
1. Robert W. Failor a/k/a Robert W. Failor, Sr. ("Decedent") died November 6, 2000,
survived by his seven children, Robert W. Failor, Jr., Gwen A. Hippensteel, Gary M. Failor, Sr.,
Steven A. Failor, Ross H. Failor, Sr., Darla J. Frye, and Vincent S. Failor.
2. Letters Testamentary were granted on January 4, 2001, to two of decedent's children,
Robert W. Failor, Jr. and Gwen A. Hippensteel, by the Register of Wills of Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, in accordance with Paragraph Five of decedent's Last Will and Testament.
3. On January 3, 2001, decedent's seven children met at the law offices of Irwin,
McKnight & Hughes to discuss and agree upon the disposition of the estate assets and payment
of the estate obligations.
4. In addition to decedent's seven children, attorneys Roger B. Irwin and H. Kay Dailey
were present.
Steven W. Barrett Real Estate & Appraisal Services had performed an appraisal of the
decedent's real estate as of the date of death and determined the value to be $133,000.00.
6. At the said meeting on January 3, 2001, decedent's seven children agreed that, among
other things, Steven A. Failor would purchase the decedent's real estate, and that Vincent S.
Failor would join in the purchase of that portion of the real estate on which the decedent's
salvage yard business is located.
2
I , 1 ,
NO. 21-01-0013
7. After negotiations, the seven beneficiaries agreed that they would either receive
payment in the amount of $25,000.00 or life estates in the real estate in full satisfaction of their
respective interests as decedent's beneficiaries.
8. In addition, the parties agreed that Steven A. Failor would pay the estate's inheritance
taxes, costs of administration, and all outstanding taxes and other bills.
9. Attorney H. Kay Dailey specifically asked each of the seven children if they agreed
with the terms of the family settlement agreement and each beneficiary responded affirmatively.
10. Following the meeting on January 3, 2001, Steven A.-Failor paid the principal sum of
$35,500.00 towards the existing inheritance taxes, costs of administration, outstanding taxes and
other bills of decedent's estate, which sums have in fact been used to pay the existing and
continuing inheritance taxes, costs of administration, and outstanding bills.
11. Following the meeting on January 3, 2001, Steven A. Failor delivered checks, each
in the amount of $25,000.00, to respondent Robert W. Failor, Jr. and Ross H. Failor.
12. Respondents subsequently refused acceptance of the checks from Steven A. Failor.
13. On January 20, 2001, Attorney H. Kay Dailey sent correspondence on behalf of the
co-executor, Robert W. Failor, Jr., to Attorney Irwin in order to memorialize the agreements
reached at the meeting of the beneficiaries on January 3, 2001.
14. Attorney Irwin subsequently prepared both the Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return
and the applicable deeds to transfer the decedent's real estate in accordance with the family
settlement agreement, and forwarded the same to Attorney Dailey for her review.
15. Attorney Dailey requested that certain minor changes be made to the documents.
Those changes were prepared by Attorney Irwin.

NO. 21-01-0013
16. Following the meeting on January 3, 2001, and in reliance on the family settlement
agreement, Steven A. Failor and Vincent S. Failor expended significant sums in order to
accomplish the following:
a, Remove numerous salvage vehicles and other debris from the real
estate in order to clean the property and bring it into compliance with its
salvage license;
b. Remove numerous tires and other debris from the real estate in order
to bring it into compliance with applicable environmental-regulations; and
c. Improve, modernize and expand the salvage yard's office building
and garage.
17. Following the meeting on January 3, 2001, and in reliance on the family settlement
agreement, Steven A. Failor expended significant sums to construct a residence on the real
estate.
18. In reliance on the contract and family settlement agreement, beneficiary Darla J. Frye
and her family moved into the decedent's residence on the salvage yard property.
19. On April 17, 2001, respondent Robert W. Failor, Jr. and Ross H. Failor, as a co-
executor and as a beneficiary respectively, filed a "Complaint/Petition for Injunction" against
petitioner and Steven A. Failor in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County at Civil
Docket No. 2001-2239.
20. The "Complaint/Petition for Injunction" sought, among other things, a new family
settlement agreement with the real estate to be transferred to the new highest bidder, an
injunction against Steven A. Failor and his agents and employees, enjoining their entry onto the
4
NO. 21-01-0013
real estate, and a direction to petitioner "to cooperate with Robert W. Failor, Jr. to obtain the best
results financially from the estate of her father."
21. Following a lengthy hearing on May 30, 2001, this court issued an Opinion and
Order on August 2, 2001, denying the request for a preliminary injunction.
22. Only after the denial of the request for a preliminary injunction did respondent
Robert W. Failor, Jr. and Ross H. Failor obtain the services of Leon D. Gerlach to perform a
subsequent appraisal of the decedent's real estate.
23. The appraisal was performed by Mr. Gerlach on September 18, 2001, ten months
after the decedent's death, and subsequent to the significant clean-up and improvement of the
salvage yard, the office and the garage.
24. The appraisal performed by Mr. Gerlach is only $92,000.00 more than the initial
appraisal performed by Steven W. Barrett Real Estate & Appraisal Services and $63,720.00 less
than the Cumberland County tax assessment relied upon by respondent and Ross H. Failor at
their preliminary injunction hearing.
25. Following the denial of the preliminary injunction by this court, the gross and net
income of the salvage yard has steadily declined.
26. Following the denial of the preliminary injunction by this court, the Pennsylvania
State Police have responded on several occasions to anonymous complaints involving the
operation of the salvage yard.
27. Following the denial of the preliminary injunction by this court, the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation withdrew the salvage yard's dealership license, following
telephone calls from respondent's wife, Kaye N. Failor.
a
NO. 21-01-0013
28. Following the denial of the preliminary injunction by this court, the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection visited the salvage yard in response to an anonymous
complaint of tires being burned at the property.
29. Although no evidence of tire burning was discovered, the Pennsylvania DEP has
issued a directive to the co-executors and to Steven A. Failor to remove at least 300 tires per
month until all waste tires have been removed.
30. Respondent has refused and continues to refuse to sign deeds transferring the
decedent's real estate to Steven A. Failor and Vincent S. Failor.
31. Respondent has refused and continues to refuse to sign the required Pennsylvania
Inheritance Tax Return for decedent's estate, even though it has been prepared in accordance
with the suggested changes of his initial legal counsel.
32. The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue may assess interest and penalties for the
inability to file an Inheritance Tax Return.
33. Respondent Robert W. Failor, Jr., has admitted both in testimony and in his own
"Complaint/Petition for Injunction" that he and the petitioner have been unable to cooperate in
finalizing the estate of the decedent.
DISCUSSION
Even though a family settlement agreement is entirely oral, it is valid if properly proven.
In re Estate of Brojack, 321 Pa.Super. 154, 164-165, 467 A.2d 1175, 1181 (1983). The existence
of a family settlement agreement must be shown by clear and unambiguous evidence; the
agreement must be binding on all parties. Id. at 160-61, 467 A.2d at 1179. Furthermore, family
settlement agreements are favored in this Commonwealth because they are an attempt to avoid
6
NO. 21-01-0013
potentially divisive litigation. Id. at 160, 467 A.2d at 1179. We are satisfied that a valid family
agreement exists in this case. The agreement was described in our foregoing findings of fact. It
should be noted that the heirs, who now object to the agreement, were represented by separate
counsel, Kay Dailey, at the family meeting. At the hearing of this case, Attorney Roger B. Irwin,
Esquire, described the agreement in considerable detail.
Robert and Ross Failor now object to the agreement because the most recent appraisal
valued the estate at $225,000. This, of course, is only after Steven Failor has expended
considerable effort in clean-up and improvement. When questioned by the court, Mr. Irwin gave
the following answers with respect to the valuation of the estate and to the wisdom of the family
agreement.
Q .....[Y]ou arrived at the expenses of the estate at
$35,500, am I correct?
A That's correct.
Q And am I right under the law ... that if the
property had not been sold to one of these children
but had been sold on the open market, the child
would receive the value of the estate, minus
$35,500, divided by seven, right?
A That's correct.
Q Okay. So my math indicates that in order for
them each to receive $25,000.00, the value of the
estate has to be at least $210,500.00.
A That's correct.
And may I just make one explanation? The
problem that was the [sic] big scare was the
environmental problem. When I discovered that
7
NO. 21-01-0013
they had all these hundreds of vehicles and motors
and things like that, the whole question of putting
this up on the open market was an impossibility.
And when they told me the family is going to --
somebody in the family will take this, that was a
big relief to me, because there was no way possible
we could have sold this property on the open
market and gotten any kind of money for it. It
couldn't be done today even with what's been
done.
Q Even today?
A Even today. It is an environmental problem.
As DEP is already saying with all these tires. So
that's why I thought in my experience this was a
wonderful way to settle it. And I thought
everybody was satisfied and happy. So we
proceeded on that basis.
We see nothing in the current proposals of Robert and Ross Failor which put the heirs
any further ahead than they would be under the terms of the family agreement. In the meantime,
as co-executor, Robert Failor, Jr. has been unwilling to perform his fiduciary duty. He has
refused to sign the Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return form which has since passed a nine-
month filing deadline.
The grounds for removing an executor are governed by 20 Pa.C.S.A. Section 3182.
Pertinent to this case are the grounds which appear at Section 3182(1) and (5). Specifically, the
court shall have exclusive power to remove a personal representative when he:
(1) is wasting or mismanaging the estate, is or is
likely to become insolvent, or has failed to perform
any duty imposed by law; or
(5) when, for any other reason, the interests of the
estate are likely to be jeopardized by his
continuance in office.
NO. 21-01-0013
The removal of a personal representative chosen by a testator is, of course, a drastic action which
should be taken only when the estate within the control of such a personal representative is
endangered. In re Beichner's Estate, 432 Pa. 150, 156, 247 A.2d 779, 782 (1968). To justify the
removal of a testamentary personal representative, the proof of the cause for such removal must
be clear. Id.
The mere existence of animosity between Robert Failor and Gwen Hippensteel is not
enough, of course, to justify the removal of an executor. However, when animosity has an
adverse affect', on the estate or the rights of any beneficiaries, removal is justified. Id. at 157, 247
A.2d at 782. There is clearly more than mere animosity in this case. Mr. Failor has his own,
although at best unclear, proposal for the disposition of the estate. He has enmeshed the estate in
substantial litigation in an attempt to upset a disposition of the estate to which he had earlier
agreed. He has failed to sign tax returns, all to the detriment of the remaining beneficiaries. He
has tied the administration of this estate into something of a Gordian knot, which can be cut only
by his removal.
ORDER
AND NOW, this / 7-'o day of July, 2002, Robert W. Failor, Jr., is herewith removed
as co-executor of the estate of Robert W. Failor, Sr., deceased, and Gwen A. Hippensteel is
appointed as sole executor. The petition of Robert W. Failor, Jr., and Ross H. Failor, to resolve
disagreement' between co-executors is DISMISSED as moot.

Re: Residential Lease
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fa ilor:
Please be advised th;:it I have been retained by Iron Triangle LLC, d/b/a West Pennsboro Auto
Wreckers. Enclosed you will find a residential lease for the premises, in which you currently
reside, for execution. It is my understanding that you have alleged thews exists a "lifetime" lease
on this property with no obligation to pay any rent. However, upon thorough investigation and
searching at the Cum berland County Courthouse, there exists no such Document. I have been
in contact with Roger Irwin, Esq. to see if he had an executed copy of the lease which you have
referred. An executes copy of said lease was unable to be obtained. Additionally, during the
settlement of this property, Iron Triangle, LLC requested documentation that this "lifetime" lease
existed, and no documentation was provided at settlement. Therefore, it is the position of Iron
Triangle, LLC, that th(ire is no "lifetime" lease as it did not purchase said property with notice of
said lease.
It is not the intention cf iron "triangle LLC to request that you vacate said property, but that a
lease be executed to a;nsure that both parties understand the obligation of each other and that a
more than fair rent be paid for the lease of said premises. Iron Triangle LLC believes it is being
more than fair to placE the monthly rental payment at two hundred and fifty dollars. Please
review the enclosed lease, consult with your attorney and execute the lease where indicated
with a witness signature where indicated and return it to me in the enclosed self addressed and
stamped envelope. Additionally, all personal property must be removed from the property of
Iron Triangle, LLC, specifically the personal property in the truck trailer adjacent to your
residence.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. Should you have, any questions, please
feel free to contact me at (717) 991-1382.
Kind regards,
Fiona K. Line, Esq.

RE: ESTATE OF ROBERT W. FAILOR, SR.
GARY M. FAILOR and MERRILYN M. FAILOR
PAUL E. FRYE, JR. and DARLA J. FRYE
Dear Attorney Line:
As you should already be aware, our firm represented the Estate of Robert W. Failor, Sr.
and was involved in the administration and associated litigation involving the heirs of the estate.
You previously spoke with. Attorney Roger Irwin of our firm, who informed you that Mr. and
Mrs. Gary Tailor and Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Frye, Jr. were not tenants at the property now owned
by your client, Iron Triangle, LLC. As part of the prior resolution of the estate, they were
permitted to continue to reside on the property owned by Mr. Robert W. Failor, Sr., and in the
settlement of the Orphans' Court litigation they were granted life estate interests in their homes.
Despite being provided with this information, however, you apparently sent letters to the
Failors and Fryes requesting that they execute Residential Lease Agreements. In your
correspondence dated January 20, 2010, you correctly note that life estate agreements have not
been recorded in the Cumberland County Recorder of Deeds office. However, in the same
correspondence you also expressly reference your client's knowledge at the time of settlement of
the presence of the Failors and Fryes. Furthermore, both homes are accessed by the same
driveway utilized for the business located on the property. Your client therefore had actual
and/or constructive knowledge of the presence of the Failors and Fryes as well as the fact that
they were not paying any type of rent. Under clearly established legal precedent, either actual or
constructive' knowledge of the existence of the life estates is sufficient for them to be binding
upon a successive purchaser.

By your own admissions, your client was told of the life estate arrangements prior to the
purchase of the business. would also expect that at the time of settlement there was not any
proration of rent, transfer of security deposits, or assignment of leases, all of which would be
standard in the sale of real estate encumbered by leases. Furthermore, the Executrix has
provided her copies of the signed agreements with the Failors and Fryes, copies of which are
enclosed for your additional reference. Given these facts, there is no basis under Pennsylvania
law to proceed with any claims that the parties are leasing their homes or are holdover tenants.
FIONA K. LINE, ESQUIRE
RE: FAILOR and FRYE
March 4, 2010
Page 2 of 2
In light of the above, if your client persists in pursuing this matter, I will be
recommending that the Failors and Fryes ultimately initiate wrongful use of civil proceedings
and/or abuse of process claims. This correspondence shall serve as notice to both you and your
client of the reservation of all future claims that may accrue under the Pennsylvania "Dragonetti"
Statute. Such legal actions would entitle them to seek reimbursement for their damages and
attorney fees expended to defend the frivolous assertions of you client.
I trust that such legal action will not prove necessary. In the event that you have any
additional questions or concerns, however, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

Production of Documents, but to date it is the only response that has been provided to the
undersigned legal counsel.
11. Furthermore, some of the faxed documents and pictures in the attached Exhibit
"B" are not legible, and Plaintiff does not specifically identify what numbered requests to which
it is responding.

possession of its HUD-1 sheet or any other real estate settlement paperwork from when it
purchased the subject property on or about January 7, 2009.

in advance of settlement.

possession of another attorney who has failed to respond to the Plaintiff or its current attorney.
16. The Defendants require additional time to obtain the necessary documents from
either the Plaintiff and/or a third party. .

17. Based upon the representations in Exhibit "B," Plaintiffs counsel does not concur
with this request for a continuance of the trial date.
18. The Honorable Edward. E. Guido issued the PreTrial Conference Order in the
above-captioned matter.
WHEREFORE, the Defendants respectfully request this Honorable Court to enter an
Order continuing the trial scheduled for February 23, 2012 at 9:15 a.m.

Re: Iron Triangle, LLC vs Garry M. & Merrilyn Failor and Paul E. and Darla J. Frye, Jr.
Dear Attorney Miller:
Please find enclosed the documents that have been obtained in response to your discovery
request. I have tried to contact the attorney for Iron Triangle, LLC to obtain any documentation
that she may have, but have had no response from her concerning the request. 1. was hoping to
get any information to you earlier but was waiting on hearing back from the settlement attorney
for the purchase of the subject property. When I returned this evening from being away for just
over a week I still had no responses from her.
There are no copies of plans, diagrams, designs, drawings or other similar writings and
documents regarding the subject property that Iron Triangle, LLC has in its possession or has
knowledge about. We have not had any response from the settlement attorney for copies of any
and all title search reports or other such documents as of today's date. Iron Triangle has not been
able to locate a copy of the HUD-1 settlement sheet and the settlement attorney has not
responded to the request for the settlement information. Iron Triangle, LLC does not have in its
possession the other items listed in paragraph 4 and is waiting on the settlement attorney to
respond to said request. Iron Triangle, LLC does not recall any appraisal on said property as it
did not finance the property and did not need to have an appraisal completed. However, it has
requested the settlement attorney to confirm this fact. Additionally, Iron Triangle does not recall
initiating any legal proceedings but has included the information on the legal proceeding initiated
by the Failors against Dan Emery.
Enclosed are any photos that Iron Triangle, LLC has in its possession of the property,
information on the law suit with regard to the storage trailer which was initiated by the Failors
and a copy of the lease agreement on the property on which Kristy Failor resides.
As I mentioned before, I believe we can stipulate to many of the facts with regard to this case.
Please contact me to discuss the stipulation of the facts. Some of the facts that Iron Triangle will
stipulate to may be those which you are looking to support with the documents you have
requested, such as that fact that there was no rent or apportioned rent on the HUD-1 sheet.
Kind regards,
Fiona K. Fadness, Esq.

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE AND
TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO DISCOVERY
AND NOW, this 5TH day of March, 2012, come the Defendants, Garry M. and Merrilyn
Failor and Paul E. and Darla J. Frye, Jr., by and through their attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, P.C.,
and make the following Motion for Continuance and to Compel Answers to Discovery, averring
as follows:
1. The Plaintiff is Iron Triangle, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company
operating at 452 Crossroad School Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17015.
2. The Defendants are Garry M. and Merrilyn Failor who reside in a mobile home
numbered as, 456 Crossroad School Road, Carlisle, and Paul E. Frye, Jr. and Darla J. Frye, who
reside in the fixed residence numbered as 452 Crossroad School Road.
3. On or about February 7, 2011 Plaintiff filed a Quiet Title complaint seeking to
terminate the life estate agreements of the Defendants who have all been living on the property
without paying rent since at least November 2000.
4. Plaintiff listed this matter for trial on or about October 14, 2011, prior to any
discovery having taken place.
5. On November 8, 2011, legal counsel for the Defendants served Requests for
Production of Documents upon the Plaintiff s legal counsel.
6. A pretrial conference was held on November 14, 2011, before the Honorable
Edward E. Guido, at which time an original trial date was scheduled for February 23, 2012.
7. Furthermore at the pretrial conference, discovery was ordered to be completed by
January 3, 2012, and all non-emergency requests for continuances were ordered to be filed no
later than January 6, 2012.
8. As of January 3, 2012, the undersigned legal counsel had not received any
answers to the outstanding requests for documents.
9. On January 4, 2012, Plaintiff's legal counsel faxed a letter with certain
attachments purporting to be responses to the Defendants' Requests for Production of
Documents.
10. Plaintiff never sent an original letter with attachments to the undersigned legal
counsel.
11. Most of the faxed pictures included with Plaintiff's letter were therefore not
legible.
12. To date, the fax on January 4, 2012, is the only response from Plaintiff that has
been provided to the undersigned legal counsel.
13. On January 31, 2012, Defendants served a Notice of Intent to Serve Subpoena to
Produce Documents upon Plaintiff's legal counsel. A true and correct copy of the Notice dated
January 31, 2012, is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
14. The proposed subpoena was addressed to Andrea M. Bower, Esquire, the
purported legal counsel for Plaintiff at the time it purchased the subject property.
15. The undersigned legal counsel requested that Plaintiff waive the twenty (20) day
waiting period, and made at least two (2) telephone calls to request Plaintiff's consent to a
waiver.
2
16. The undersigned legal counsel informed Plaintiffs counsel that without the
waiver it was believed to be unlikely that a response to the subpoena would be received in
enough time to be ready for the rescheduled trial on March 14, 2012.
17. Plaintiffs legal counsel did not respond to those requests, and therefore the
subpoena was not able to be served upon Attorney Bower until February 24, 2012.
18. To date, no response has yet been received to the subpoena.
19. Defendants view receipt of the real estate documents signed by and given to
Plaintiff to be integral to their defense of this litigation.
20. The Defendants require additional time to obtain the necessary documents from
either the Plaintiff or pursuant to the recently issued subpoena.
21. Defendants previously filed a Motion for Continuance on January 5, 2012.
22. The undersigned legal counsel also has a previously scheduled speaking
engagement: on the morning of Wednesday, March 14, 2012.
23. Based upon the lack of any written response from Plaintiff's counsel since the fax
of January 4, 2012, it is presumed that Plaintiff s counsel does not concur with this request for a
continuance of the trial date.
24. The Honorable Edward E. Guido issued the PreTrial Conference Order in the
above-captioned matter, as well as the Order dated January 10, 2012, rescheduling the original
trial date.
WHEREFORE, the Defendants respectfully request this Honorable Court to enter an
Order as follows:
A. Directing that Plaintiff provide a formal response to Defendants" Requests for
Production of Documents dated November 8, 2011; and
3
B. Continuing the trial previously rescheduled for March 14, 2012 at 9:15 a.m., until
after complete responses have been made to the outstanding discovery requests to
Defendants.

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT v = ?;
w
rT)
AND NOW, this 19th day of April, 2012, comes the Defendants, Garry M. and Merrilyn
Failor and Paul E. and Darla J. Frye, Jr., by and through their attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, P.C.,
and respectfully request that the Court enter an Order granting summary judgment in their favor
and against the Plaintiff, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff instituted this particular action against Defendants on or about February
11, 2011.
2. The Plaintiffs Complaint is titled a quiet title action, and its primary request for
relief, seeks "an order granting Iron Triangle, LLC ownership of the Salvage Yard Property in
Fee Simple with no life estates encumbering said property."
3. Plaintiff admits in Paragraph 8 of its Complaint, that at the time Plaintiff
purchased the "Salvage Yard Property," Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frye, Jr., resided in the
residential home located on the property.
4. Plaintiff admits in Paragraph 9 of its Complaint, that at the time Plaintiff
purchased the "Salvage Yard Property," Defendants Garry M. and Merrilyn Failor resided in a
trailer also located on the property.
5. Plainiff, however, states that no life estate was recorded in the Cumberland
County Courthouse (Pl. Compl. ¶ 15), the title search performed by Plaintiff did produce "any
documentation indicating any life estates on said property" (Pl. Compl. ¶ 19), and Plaintiff
therefore purchased the property "with no recorded evidence of a life estate encumbering said
property" (Pl. Compl. ¶ 20).
6. The Agreement for Sale of Real Estate signed by Plaintiff's members, however,
explicitly states the following in Paragraph 21, entitled "Acknowledgement of Life Estates":
"The Buyers hereby acknowledge that the house situate on the property is subject
to a life estate in favor of Darla Frey [sic]. The Buyers further acknowledge that
the lot occupied by one of the mobile homes on the property is subject to a life
estate in favor of Gary Failor."
(Praecipe to Enter Contract & Title Search Docs of Record, Ex. "III)
7. The title search notes from the real estate attorney that represented Plaintiff in the
purchase of the property, also reflect the prior ownership of the property by Robert W. Failor and
Shirley L. Failor, the Cumberland County Orphans' Court litigation involving the Estate of
Robert W. Failor, and the Order of July 12, 2002, by the Honorable Kevin A. Hess which
removed a co-executor of the Estate of Robert W. Failor and which accompanying Opinion
specifically referenced that certain beneficiaries would receive life estates upon the decedent's
real estate. (Praecipe to Enter Contract & Title Search Docs of Record, Ex. "Y)
8. Recorded maps included as part of attorney's title search file, also specifically
locate both the residence and the mobile homes upon the property. (Praecipe to Enter Contract
& Title Search Docs of Record, Ex. "Y)
9. Both residences occupied by the Defendants are located between Crossroad
School Road and the metal shop building, and are therefore obvious to anyone driving to the
salvage yard business. (Praecipe to Enter Contract & Title Search Docs of Record, Ex. "Y).
10. The real estate title insurance policy issued to the Plaintiff also explicitly states in
Schedule B that the policy does not insure against loss or damage by reason of "rights or claims
of parties in possession or under the terms of any unrecorded lease or agreement(s) of sale.
(Praecipe to Enter Contract & Title Search Docs of Record, Ex. "4").
2
11. By virtue of the Plaintiff's own Agreement for Sale of Real Estate signed in
November 2008, Plaintiff was aware of both the existence of and structures subject to life estate
interests by the Defendants.
12. 21 P.S. § 351 governs recordings in Pennsylvania and reads in pertinent part as
follows:
"All deeds, conveyances, contracts, and other instruments of writing wherein it
shall be the intention of the parties executing the same to grant, bargain, sell, and
convey any lands, tenements, or hereditaments situate in this Commonwealth, ...,
shall be recorded in the office for the recording of deeds in the county where such
lands, tenements, and hereditaments are situate. Every such deed, conveyance,
contract, or other instrument of writing which shall not be acknowledged or
proved and recorded, as aforesaid, shall be adjudged fraudulent and void as to any
subsequent bona fide purchaser or mortgagee or holder of any judgment, duly
entered in the prothonotary's office of the county in which the lands, tenements,
or hereditaments are situate, without actual or constructive notice unless such
deed, conveyance, contract, or instrument of writing shall be recorded ...."
(emphasis added).
13. Pennsylvania appellate courts have ruled that the effect of 21 P.S. § 351 is to
protect subsequent bona fide purchasers, but that the statute does not invalidate someone's
unrecorded ownership interest in land. See Land v. Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency,
101 Pa. Commw. 179,184, 515 A.2d 1024, 1026 (1986).
14. To be a bona fide purchaser, Pennsylvania appellate courts have further held that
in addition to paying valuable consideration, a purchaser must "have no notice of the outstanding
rights of others, and act in good faith" (emphasis in original). Poffenberger v. Goldstein, 776
A.2d 1037, 1042 (Pa. Commw. 2001), citin Carnegie Natural Gas Co. v. Braddock, 142 Pa.
Commw. 383,597 A.2d 285,288 (1991).
15. As early as November 2008, Plaintiff was put on notice of the existence of the
Defendants' life estate interests in the subject property.
16. In accordance with both Pennsylvania statutory and case law precedent, the life
estate interests of the Defendants are still valid, even if unrecorded, as long the Plaintiff had
actual or constructive notice of those interests.
3
17. The documents of record in this matter clearly show that Plaintiff had both actual
and constructive notice of the life estate interests of the Defendants in the real estate prior to
Plaintiff purchasing the salvage yard business and property on January 8, 2009.
18. Plaintiff has failed to produce any evidence that it was not aware of the specific
life estate interests of the Defendants, and in fact all of the documentation obtained by
Defendants from Plaintiff's real estate transaction shows precisely that Plaintiff was explicitly
made aware of the life estate interests.
19. Plaintiff is unable to meet its burdens of proof in this Quiet Title action, and has
not offered any evidence to substantiate its claims.
20. Plaintiff has failed to sustain its burden of presenting facts which support the
averments of its Complaint.
21. As set forth herein, there exists no genuine issue of any material fact with regard
to the liability of Defendant Danner.
22. Accordingly, judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff is proper and
just.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this Court enter summary judgment
in their favor and against Plaintiff on all issues raised in the complaint.
Respectfully Submitted,

PETITION FOR CONTEMPT
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, Iron Triangle, LLC, by and through its attorney, Andrew
H. Shaw, and petition the Court as follows:
1. Plaintiff filed a Complaint to Quiet Title against Defendants on or about February 7,
2011, seeking the Court to issue an order granting Plaintiff ownership of the relevant
property in fee simple with no life estates encumbering the property.
2. On or about June 28, 2011, Defendants filed an Answer and Counterclaim.
3. By Order dated July 13, 2012 (hereinafter "Order"), this Honorable Court found in
favor of Defendants, and against Plaintiff, in Plaintiff s cause of action, and further
found in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendants on Defendants' counterclaim. A
copy of the Order is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit A.

taxes in connection with their life estate."
S. Further, Defendants are required to reimburse Plaintiff for each Defendant's share of
the property taxes.
6. Further,pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Order, the Defendants"are responsible for
keeping the premises in a good state of repair. They shall forthwith correct any black
mold problems and sagging rafters on the premises. They shall also replace the
ground dug up for the water pipe and make any necessary repairs to the septic
system."
7. Further,pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Order, "Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable
access to the Defendants' premises for purposes of inspection."
(Contempt of Paul E. and Darla J. Frey,Jr.)
8. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs I through 7 as if set forth more fully herein.
9. Within one (1)month of the date of the Order, the Defendants Paul E. and Darla J.
Frey, Jr. vacated the residential premises with no notice to Plaintiff.
10. At the time the Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frey, Jr. vacated the premises,they
locked all of the doors to the residence, and turned off the electricity to the residence.
11. Consequently, Plaintiff was unable to access the well pump located in the basement
of the residence that services Plaintiff's mobile home.
12. As a result of these actions, the residence was jeopardized by having no heat in the
residence, increasing the risk of frozen pipes.
13. Because Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frey, Jr. turned off the electricity,the
Plaintiffs have been forced to use portable heaters in the house to prevent the pipes
from freezing.
14. Plaintiff has incurred damages in excess of$200 maintain the portable heaters.
15, Further, Plaintiff has determined that Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frey, Jr. failed
to correct any black mold problems or repair the sagging rafters in the residence.
16. Further, Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frey,Jr. have refused to reimburse Plaintiff
for previous property taxes paid, despite a written request by Plaintiff. An unsigned
copy of a letter dated July 26,2012 that was mailed on same date is attached hereto
and incorporated by reference as Exhibit B.
17. Lastly,Plaintiff has discovered that the septic system for the Freys' property has
failed, and must be replaced.
18. The actions by Defendants Paul E. and Darla J. Frey, Jr. constitute waste,thereby
jeopardizing Plaintiff's interest in the property as the remainderman.
19. Further,the amount of past due taxes for tax years 2009 through 2012 is $7,207.32.
20. Plaintiff must also pay the real estate taxes for tax year 2013 for the local and
municipal taxes.
21. Lastly, because of the extensive damage to the residential dwelling due to the mold,
the required roof repairs and the failed septic system, Plaintiff anticipates that it will
be more cost effective to raze the building rather than make the repairs.
22. Despite the clear language of this Court's Order, Defendants have knowingly,
purposefully and intentionally violated the same.
23. The above-referenced actions by Defendants are knowing and intentional violations
of this Court's Order dated July 13, 2012.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court to find the
Defendants in contempt of the July 13, 2012 Order of court and impose sanctions against
Defendants in the amount of the damages averred above, and further direct Defendant to pay
Plaintiff for all of its attorney's fees, costs and any other fees related to the filing of this Petition.
(Contempt of Garry M. and Merrilyn Failor)
24. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs I through 23 as if set forth more fully herein.
25. Defendants Garry A and Merrilyn Failor have failed to replace the ground dug up for
the water pipe for the installation of the septic system, as required in Paragraph 3 of
the Order.

for previous property taxes paid, despite a written request by Plaintiff. An unsigned
copy of a letter dated July 26, 2012 that was mailed on same date is attached hereto

purposefully and intentionally violated the same.
29. The above-referenced actions by Defendant are knowing and intentional violations of
this Court's Order dated July 13, 2012.
30. The Honorable Edward E. Guido has ruled upon other related issues in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court to find
the Defendants in contempt of the July 13, 2012 Order of court and impose sanctions against
Defendants in the amount of the damages averred above, and further direct Defendant to pay
Plaintiff for all of its attorney's fees, costs and any other fees related to the filing of this Petition.

DEFENDANTS' ANSWER
TO PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR CONTEMPT and
RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
AND NOW this 30th day of April, 2013, come the Defendants, GARY M. FAILOR,
MERRILYN D. FAILOR, PAUL E. FRYE, JR., and DARLA J. FRYE, by and through their
attorneys, Irwin&McKnight, P.C., and respectfully file this Answer to the Petition for Contempt
of the Plaintiff, IRON TRIANGLE, LLC, and the Rule to Show Cause dated April 4, 2013, and
in support thereof aver as follows:
1. The averments in paragraph one (1) are admitted in part and denied in part. It is
admitted that Plaintiff filed a Complaint on February 7, 2011. The remaining averments in
paragraph one (1), including the incorrect characterization of Plaintiffs Complaint, are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
2. The averments of fact in paragraph two (2)are admitted.
3. The Order of Court dated July 13, 2012, and referenced in paragraph three (3) and
attached as Exhibit A to Plaintiffs Petition speaks for itself and therefore no response is
required.
4. The averments in paragraph four (4) are denied as stated. The Order of Court
dated July 13, 2012, and referenced in paragraph four (4) also states that taxes are to be prorated
and paid on the buildings and curtilage that form part of the life estates after January 7, 2009.
The remaining averments in paragraph four (4), including any inference that Plaintiff provided
Defendants or their legal counsel with a statement of prorated taxes, or that Plaintiff properly
calculated such taxes, or that Plaintiff ceased the harassment and interference with the life estate
interests of Defendants, are specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
5. The averments in paragraph five (5) are denied as stated. The Order of Court
dated July 13, 2012, and referenced in paragraph five (5) also states that taxes are to be prorated
and paid on the buildings and curtilage that form part of the life estates after January 7, 2009.
The remaining averments in•paragraph five (5), including any inference that Plaintiff provided
Defendants or their legal counsel with a statement of prorated taxes, or that Plaintiff properly
calculated such taxes, or that Plaintiff ceased the harassment and interference with the life estate
interests of Defendants, are specifically denied and strict proof thereof isdemanded.
6. The averments in paragraph six (6) are denied as stated. It is admitted that the
Order of Court dated July 13, 2012, and specifically paragraph three (3) of the Order referenced
in paragraph six (6) states that the life tenants are to be responsible for keeping the premises in a
good state of repair. The remaining averments in paragraph six (6), including any inference that
Defendants have not maintained the premises in a good state of repair, or that Plaintiff ceased the
harassment and interference with the life estate interests of Defendants, or that Plaintiff did not
intentionally sabotage the maintenance and repair efforts of Defendants, are specifically denied
and strict proof thereof is demanded.
7. The averments in paragraph seven (7) are denied as stated. It is admitted that the
f
Order of Court dated July 13, 2012, and specifically paragraph four (4) of the Order referenced
2
in paragraph seven (7) states that the Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable access to the Defendants'
premises for purposes of inspection one quarterly upon 48 hours written notice. The remaining
averments in paragraph seven (6), including any inference that Defendants have not permitted
reasonable access in accordance with the aforementioned Order, or that Plaintiff ceased the
harassment and interference with the life estate interests of Defendants, or that Plaintiff did not
intentionally enter upon the Defendants' premises in violation of the terms of the aforementioned
Order, are specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
8. The averments contained in the Answers to paragraphs one (1) through seven (7)
above are hereby incorporated by reference.
9. The averments in paragraph nine (9) are specifically denied and strict proof
thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, despite the finding of life estate interests in
favor of Defendants, Plaintiff almost immediately continued his practice of repeated harassment
and intentional interference with Defendants. Plaintiff's actions included scheduling an
inspector to visit the home of Defendants Frye, arguing with the inspector when he did not find
any "black mold," and entering upon''the life estate premises in violation of the terms'of the
Order of Court. Defendants Frye did in fact notify the Plaintiff that they could no longer live
with the harassment and intentional interference o*f their life estate interests,that they were going
to move from the home, and that Plaintiff would then have to assume responsibility for the house
and electric service. At that time, Defendants Frye scheduled a final electric meter reading.
Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the home or call the electric company to establish a new
account for the home.
10. The averments of fact in paragraph ten (10) are specifically denied and strict
proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, even after the aforementioned Order of
Court Plaintiff continued to harass and interfere with Defendants' life estate interests including
3
scheduling an inspector to visit the home of Defendants Frye, arguing with the inspector when he
did not find any "black mold," and entering upon the life estate premises in violation of the terms
of the Order of Court. Defendants Frye did in fact notify the Plaintiff that they could no longer
live with the harassment and intentional interference of their life estate interests, that they were
going to move from the home, and that Plaintiff would then have to assume responsibility for the
house and electric service. At that time, Defendants Frye scheduled a final electric meter
reading. Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the home or call the electric company to establish
a new account for the home.
11. The averments of fact in paragraph eleven (11) are specifically denied and strict
proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the
home or call the electric company to establish a new account for the home after Defendants Frye
gave notice that they were moving.
12. The averments contained in paragraph twelve (12) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer, Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the home or call the electric company to
establish a new account for the home after Defendants Frye gave notice that they were moving.
Any purported risk was caused solely by the actions of the Plaintiff and as such should be the
Plaintiff's alone to bear.
13. The averments contained in paragraph thirteen (13) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer, Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the home or call the electric company to
establish a new account for the home after Defendants Frye gave notice that they were moving.
Upon information and belief, prior to any termination of service the electric company provided
4
advance notice to Plaintiff that electric service would be terminated if Plaintiff did not establish a
new account. Any purported risk and expense was caused solely by the actions of the Plaintiff
and as such should be the Plaintiff's alone to bear.
14. After reasonable investigation, Defendants are without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments contained in paragraph fourteen(14) so
they are therefore specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded at trial. By way of
further answer, Plaintiff refused to accept the keys to the home or call the electric company to
establish a new account for the home after Defendants Frye gave notice that they were moving.
Upon information and belief, prior to any termination of service the electric company provided
advance notice to Plaintiff that electric service would be terminated if Plaintiff did not establish a
new account. Any purported risk and expense was caused solely by the actions of the Plaintiff
and as such should be the Plaintiff s alone to bear.
15. The averments contained in paragraph fifteen (15) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer and upon information and belief, Plaintiff scheduled an inspector to visit the
home of Defendants Frye, argued with the inspector when he did not find any"black mold," and
continued to enter upon the life estate premises in violation of the terms of the aforementioned
Order of Court. All Defendants maintained their life estate interests in a good state of repair, and
in spite of the continued harassment and interference by Plaintiff, Defendants Failor continue to
reside in and maintain their life estate property.
16. The averments of fact in paragraph sixteen (16) are specifically denied and strict
proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Defendants Frye never received the
correspondence attached by Plaintiff as Exhibit B. To the contrary, Defendants' legal counsel
had called Plaintiffs original attorney and requested that an amount and description of the
5
calculation of the prorated real estate taxes be provided. Neither Plaintiff nor his original
attorney responded to the request, and in fact no Plaintiffs attorney contacted the undersigned
counsel prior to filing of the instant Petition for Contempt in violation of Cumberland County
Rule 208.2(d). Defendants are still unaware of the amount of the Plaintiffs annual real estate
taxes or how the purported calculations for contribution were determined.
17. The averments contained in paragraph seventeen (17) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer, Plaintiff and others at the direction of Plaintiff purposefully drove over the
ground covering Defendant Frye's septic system. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs
owners, or other individuals acting at the direction of Plaintiff, then contacted West Pennsboro
Township to report that the septic system was malfunctioning or had failed. Defendants Frye
contacted a septic repair company to correct the damage caused by Plaintiff's representatives, but
initially were denied a permit because Plaintiff refused to sign the permit application. Only upon
satisfying the township solicitor that Defendants Frye had a legal life estate interest was the
permit approved and the septic repair work completed. Any remaining inference that the septic
system is in need of further repair or has "failed" was undoubtedly caused solely by the actions
of the Plaintiff and as such should be the Plaintiff's expense alone to bear.
18. The averments contained in paragraph eighteen (18) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
scandalous and impertinent and are specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
19. The averments of fact in paragraph nineteen(19) are specifically denied and strict
proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Defendants Frye never received the
correspondence attached by Plaintiff as Exhibit B. To the contrary, Defendants' legal counsel
6
had called Plaintiff's original attorney and requested that an amount and description of the
calculation of the prorated real estate taxes be provided. Neither Plaintiff nor his original
attorney responded to the request, and in fact no Plaintiff's attorney contacted the undersigned
counsel prior to filing of the instant Petition for Contempt in violation of Cumberland County
Rule 208.2(d). Defendants are still unaware of the amount of the Plaintiff's annual real estate
taxes or how the purported calculations for contribution were determined.
20. The averments contained in paragraph twenty (20) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded at trial. By way of further answer,
Defendants Frye did in fact notify the Plaintiff that they could no longer live with the harassment
and intentional interference of their life estate interests, that they were going to move from the
home, and that Plaintiff would then have to assume responsibility for the house and its associated
obligations.
21. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-one (21) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer and upon information and belief, Plaintiff scheduled an inspector to visit the
home of Defendants Frye, argued with the inspector when he did not find any "black mold," and
continued to enter upon the life estate premises in violation of the terms of the aforementioned
Order of Court. All Defendants maintained their life estate interests in a good state of repair, and
in spite of the continued harassment and interference by Plaintiff, Defendants Failor continue to
reside in and maintain their life estate property. By way of even further answer, Plaintiff and
others at the direction of Plaintiff purposefully drove over the ground covering Defendant Frye's
septic system. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff's owners, or other individuals acting at the
direction of Plaintiff, then contacted West Pennsboro Township to report that the septic system
7
was malfunctioning or had failed. Defendants Frye contacted a septic repair company to correct
the damage caused by Plaintiffs representatives, but initially were denied a permit because
Plaintiff refused to sign the permit application. Only upon satisfying the township solicitor that
Defendants Frye had a legal life estate interest was the permit approved and the septic repair
work completed. Any remaining inference that the septic system is in need of further repair or
has "failed" was undoubtedly caused solely by the actions of the Plaintiff and as such should be
the Plaintiff's expense alone to bear.
22. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-two (22) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Plaintiff's
new attorney did not contact the undersigned counsel prior to filing the instant Petition for
Contempt in violation of Cumberland County Rule 208.2(d). If in fact concurrence of counsel
had been sought in accordance with Rule 208.2(d), counsel could have been informed of the new
matter issues raised herein and the actions of Plaintiff in this matter.
23. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-three (23) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Plaintiff's
new attorney did not contact the undersigned counsel prior to filing the instant Petition for
Contempt in violation of Cumberland County Rule 208.2(d). If in fact concurrence of counsel
had been sought in accordance with Rule 208.2(d), counsel could have been informed of the new
matter issues raised herein and the knowing and intentional violations of the Order dated July 13,
2012 by Plaintiff.
8
WHEREFORE, .Defendants respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter a
judgment in their favor and against Plaintiff in this matter, together with attorney fees, sanctions,
costs, and such other and further relief as this Court deems just.
24. The averments contained in the Answers to paragraphs one (1) through twenty-
three (23) above are hereby incorporated by reference.
25. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-five (25) are scandalous and
impertinent, and are also specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further answer, Defendants Failor did replace the ground dug up for their water pipe in
accordance with paragraph three (3) of the aforementioned Order. While Defendants Failor were
in the process of replacing said ground, however, Plaintiff's owner intentionally removed soil
intended to be used by Defendants Failor in an attempt to harass and interfere with their efforts
to comply with this Court's Order. Defendants Failor were therefore delayed in completing their
work until more topsoil could be obtained. By way of additional answer, even after the
aforementioned Order of Court Plaintiff continued to harass and interfere with Defendants' life
estate interests including removing the steps to the porch owned by Defendants Failor,
constructing a fence where said steps were located, and entering upon the life estate premises in
violation of the terms of the Order of Court.
26. The averments of fact in paragraph twenty-six (26) are specifically denied and
strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Defendants Failor never received
the correspondence attached by Plaintiff as Exhibit C. To the contrary, Defendants' legal
counsel had called Plaintiff's original attorney and requested that an amount and description of
the calculation of the prorated real estate taxes be provided. Neither Plaintiff nor his original
attorney responded to the request, and in fact no Plaintiffs attorney contacted the undersigned
9
counsel prior to filing of the instant Petition for Contempt in violation of Cumberland County
Rule 208.2(d). Defendants are still unaware of the amount of the Plaintiff's annual real estate
taxes or how the purported calculations for contribution were determined.
27. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-seven (27) are conclusions of law
to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
scandalous and impertinent and are specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
28. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-eight (28) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Plaintiff's
new attorney did not contact the undersigned counsel prior to filing the instant Petition for
Contempt in violation of Cumberland County Rule 208.2(d). If in fact concurrence of counsel
had been sought in accordance with Rule 208.2(d), counsel could have been informed of the new
matter issues raised herein and the actions of Plaintiff in this matter.
29. The averments contained in paragraph twenty-nine (29) are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, the averments are
specifically denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Plaintiff's
new attorney did not contact the undersigned counsel prior to filing the instant Petition for
Contempt in violation of Cumberland County Rule 208.2(d). If in fact concurrence of counsel
had been sought in accordance with Rule 208.2(d), counsel could have been informed of the new
matter issues raised herein and the knowing and intentional violations of the Order dated July 13,
2012 by Plaintiff.
30. The averments of fact in paragraph thirty (30)are admitted.

WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter a
