AND NOW, this J day of 2012, comes BRIAN C. LINSENBACH,
Esquire, attorney for the Plaintiffs, KERRY F. CRUM and ROSE L. CRUM, RIAN C. LINSENBACH
and WENDY S. LINSENBACH, files this Motion for Publication, the following of which is a statement:
This Action to Quiet Title was commenced by a Complaint filed in the Common Pleas of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on January 23, 2012.
2. The title of the real estate, which is the subject of this action, is in the names of Kerry F. Crum
and Rose L. Crum, husband and wife, which Plaintiffs purchased the property from Richard D.
McMillen on February 6, 1990, and the deed was recorded in the Recorder of Deeds of
Cumberland County, in Book Y34 at Page 1086.
The subject of this Quiet Title Action is that there remains a mortgage which has been paid in
full and yet not satisfied of record to the deceased, Richard D. McMillen.
4. Richard D. McMillen passed away on October 18, 1997, in Cumberland County, and to date
there has been no estate raised. Plaintiffs are only aware of one known heir, and that is the
Defendant, Richard D. McMillen's son, namely David J. McMillen.
Attempts to reach David J. McMillen have been unsuccessful; however, the Complaint in
Quiet Title Action was served upon him by the sheriff on January 26, 2012. (Attached as
Exhibit "A").
6. After service by the sheriff, the Defendant, David J. McMillen, has still not made contact with
Plaintiffs or Plaintiffs' attorney, even after subsequent attempts to contact him.
7. Plaintiffs made a good faith effort to determine whether there are any heirs, assigns,
successors, devisees and administrators and/or executors of the Defendant, Richard D.
McMillen, and except for the knowledge of his son, David J. McMillen, Plaintiffs have been
unsuccessful.
8. Since no estate has been raised for Richard D. McMillen and the Defendant's son, David J.
McMillen, has refused to cooperate with raising an estate or signing a Satisfaction of Mortgage
as a way to clear title, the only way to move forward on this Action to Quiet Title is to serve
the unknown parties by publication.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Honorable Court to enter an Order
permitting service of this Complaint in Action to Quiet Title against all the remaining Defendants
other than the Defendant, David J. McMillen, by publication.
Respectfully submitted,

The Defendant, Richard D. McMillen, is deceased.

There has been no estate raised for the deceased, Richard D. McMillen, and thus there are no probate records
found in the Cumberland County Register of Wills Office.
4. It is believed and therefore averred that Richard D. McMillen is deceased and left no heirs or assigns of record.
The only way to serve the deceased and any unknown parties is by publication.
