CLYDE WRIGHTSTONE, LATE CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
OF MECHANICSBURG BOROUGH ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, .
PENNSYLVANIA, DECEASED ESTATE N0.21-08-1218
MOTION TO AMEND DECREE AWARDING REAL ESTATE
AND NOW comes the firm of Snelbaker & Brenneman, P.C., by Richard C Snelbaker, Esquire, as
for the Estate of Clyde Wrightstone, deceased, and Linda K. Minnich and Sue A. Witters, the Co-
of said Estate, and respectfully represents as follows:
On March 1, 2011, your Honorable Court by Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., duly
the First and Final Account and approved the Petition for Adjudication as filed by the Co-
s, which included, inter alia, the award of real estate in kind to Linda K. Minnich and Sue A.
fitters.
By separate Decree, the Court duly awarded the real estate as proposed, a true copy
which is attached hereto marked "Exhibit A".
In the course of recording the Decree Awarding Real Estate, it was belatedly discovered
the legal description of said real estate was prefaced by an introductory paragraph erroneously
indicating that the real estate consisted of "three (3) certain pieces or parcels of real estate".
4. However, the Decedent only owned two (2) parcels of real estate as reported in the
Inventory and in the First and Final Account, said parcels being known and numbered as (i) 100-102 South
Street, and (ii) 5 West Locust Street, all in the First Ward in the Borough of Mechanicsburg.
In order to avoid any confusion caused by said error, the Court is requested to issue an
Amended Decree Awarding Real Estate correcting the number of parcels and clarifying the street numbers
