ANSWER TO PETITION TO ALLOW SALE OF ESTATE ASSET SUBJECT TO SPECIF~
BEQUEST
AN NOW, comes Betty J. Gingrich ("Betty") by and through her counsel, to respond to
the New Matter raised in the Return of Rule to Show Cause filed by Douglas C. Young,
Executor of the Estate of Arthur H. Lentz and states as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Upon information and belief this averment is Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Betty is without sufficient evidence to know with certainty if Executor's has
exercised due diligence in inventorying and valuing the assets of the Estate and whether
the Estate is without sufficient assets to pay the claims of the estate including the
inheritance tax.
7. Admitted in part. Betty was specifically bequested the Ford F-150 Truck in the
Decedent's will. However, Betty is without sufficient evidence to know with certainty if
the Estate's greatest asset is in fact the Ford F-150.
8. Based on the Executor's averment that he will honor the specific bequest made
in the Will of the gift of the clock to Betty, she does not oppose the sale of the Truck to
apply its cash value to the claims against the Estate and thereafter to accept the
distribution of the difference from the sale of such. By way of further explanation, upon
receipt of the clock, in the same condition and manner as when it was taken from Betty's
home, Betty will release the title to the Truck.
9. By separate concurrent filing, Betty has filed an answer to the new matter raised
in The Return To Show Cause.
WHEREFORE, Respondent requests the Honorable Court grant the relief previously
requested.
