SEQ-07-2011 15:20 KILLIAN & OEPHART 7172380592 P.003 Glenda Pamer Strasbaugh, Registex of Wills Cumberland Jaunty Pennsylvania September ~, 2011 Page 2 1Viy reading Qf 20 Pa.C.S.A. ~ 31?4 (b) (2) leads me to conclude that unless tlae Caurt sa directs, no bond r~vauld be statutorily required given that Paul A.1VXattus' spouse Pamela S. Manus is his "nett of kin" and is a. resident of the ~axx~manwealth of Pennsylvaai.a and parent of his minor children. 't'he language of the statlxte states: (b) Individual personal representative.--~'nless a bond is ordered by the court ar is required by the wi11, if any, no bond shall be required of an individual personal representative who: *** ~2) Is not named: in the gill, if any, as an anginal or successor personal representative but is s resident of this ~omYnonwealth and is either the sole residuary legatee ar next of lan or is the nominee of ail residuary legatees ar next of kin who are adult and sui juris. 20 Pa.~,S.A. § 31'4 (b)(2} (,emphasis a+~clecl~. The laa~gu~age ofthe statue is not conjunctive; hence no bond is required if any of the statutorily named individuals sees to be named as Administrator. Notwithstanding the faxegoing, in the absence of renunciations fraYn 1Vir. Mottos' adult children from his prior marriage, we acknowledge that the l~.egister of Wills may require an Adntinistratar's Bond. Therefore, rive respectfully request that you establish an amau~at for the Adrniriistaratar's Bond and upon receipt of the same, appoint Pamela S. Mottos as Administrator of her husband's Estate and issues Short ~erki~icates evidencing her appointnaeut. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have a~xy questions regarding this matter. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely yours, ~,inda J. Olsen ec: Pamela S, Matters TOTAL P.003
