�.7 y7 r F— rrs tii
NO. 21-12-022 °
PETITION UNDER SECTION 3102
OF THE PROBATE, ESTATES AND FIDUCIARIES
CODE FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A SMALL ESTATE
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
1. Your Petitioner, James Neff, is an adult individual who resides at 519
Chestnut Street, Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Judge Placey has been assigned to this case.
3. The decedent is Leroy D. Smith, Jr., who died on December 12, 2009.
4. The decedent was preceded in death by his wife, Debra K. Smith.
5. The decedent had three children, namely Shawn Smith, Scott Smith and
Justin Smith. The decedent's children's dates of births and last known whereabouts are
as follows:
a. Shawn Michael Smith, born 10-03-1973, 811 Factory St., Carlisle,
PA.
b. Scott E. Smith, born 05-16-1977, Perry County Prison, P.O. Box
520, New Bloomfield, PA.
C. Justin Smith, deceased. Justin Smith has one child, a daughter,
Jesse, who is believed to be approximately fourteen years old,
however, her whereabouts are as yet unknown.
6. At the time of his death, the decedent owed a debt to the Petitioner,
James Neff, by virtue of a judgment recorded at the Office of the Prothonotary in
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania docketed to 2006-2473 in the amount of$3,510.39
plus interest as of the judgment date of May 3, 2006.
7. When no estate had been opened for the decedent for approximately 2.5
years after decedent's death, despite the decedent owning real estate at the time of his
death, Petitioner applied for letters of administration under 20 Pa.C.S.A. section 3155,
which permits a creditor of the decedent to request letters in a decedent's estate.
8. Petitioner was appointed administrator of the decedent's estate by the
Register of Wills of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on April 11, 2012.
9. The decedent's last residence was 344 Old State Road, Gardners,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17324 (hereinafter "real estate"), being parcel
number 08-38-2175-018 which the decedent owned at the time of his death.
10. It is believed that the decedent did not own any other assets at the time of
his death or that decedent's assets (aside from the real estate) were extremely modest.
11. After the Petitioner's appointment as administrator, persons named
Nicholas Halkias and James Halkias asserted ownership of the decedent's real estate
by virtue of a deed dated October 6, 2011 which one or both of them accepted from the
decedent's son for the sum of$500.00.
12. The decedent's son was not appointed as the personal representative of
the decedent's estate and had no authority to execute and deliver such deed.
13. By Order dated September 26, 2012, this Honorable Court declared the
deed into Halkias invalid and void, thereby confirming title in the decedent's name.
14. The Halkias' assertion of ownership of the decedent's real estate caused
significant delay and expense to the administration of the estate.
15. When petitioner opened decedent's estate, the only known asset was the
real estate and the mobile home situate thereon.
16. The mobile home is in deplorable condition and must be scrapped.
17. The petitioner learned that the on-lot septic system on the real estate was
inoperable and the real estate is not habitable unless the septic system is repaired,
possibly at a considerable expense.
18. Undersigned counsel obtained the opinion of a reputable, local real estate
broker regarding his opinion of value of the property, and the opinion was that the real
estate, in its present condition, was worth approximately $15,000.00 to $17,000.00
assuming a functioning septic system. See attached "Exhibit A."
19. The broker later verbally revised his opinion of value to approximately
$10,000.00 when he learned the septic system was malfunctioning.
20. The broker declined to list the property for sale, and indicated an auction
would be the best approach to sell the property.
21. Michael Cease, a Pennsylvania licensed auctioneer, who works with
Chuck Bricker, another local Pennsylvania licensed auctioneer, agreed to offer the
property for sate at auction.
22. The property was advertised repeatedly in the Guide newspaper and was
listed on the internet for sale.
21 The auction occurred on May 9, 2011
24. About ten people attended the auction; only two people took numbers
from the auctioneer for purposes of bidding.
25. Only one person bid on the property, and offered a bid of$5,000.00.
26. The auctioneer negotiated a price with the bidder for $10,000.00.
27. The petitioner entered into an agreement to sell the property to the bidder,
Eugene Hess, from East Berlin, Pennsylvania, which is attached hereto as "Exhibit B."
28. The transaction is arms length.
29. Prior to the sale, undersigned counsel offered the real estate for sale to
James Halkias, however, Mr. Halkias only offered $4,000.00 plus for the payment of
back taxes.
30. It is unknown whether Halkias would actually have carried through with his
verbal offer.
31. Eugene Hess has paid the purchase price of$10,000.00 in full which is in
escrow with undersigned counsel's firm at this time.
32. Unfortunately, after payment of the delinquent taxes and all of the
administrative expenses (with a reduction in legal fees), there are no funds available for
payment of any creditors or heirs.
33. The administrative expenses are listed on the attached "Administrative
Expense" Exhibit.
34. Time is of the essence in this matter as Eugene Hess wants to take
immediate possession of the property and begin dismantling the mobile home, cleaning
up the lot and improving the lot for business purposes.
35. Given the costs advanced in this matter, the fees incurred by the estate
and because there is no reasonable prospect to otherwise sell the real estate, the
Petitioner was compelled to sell the property for $10,000.00.
36. This estate is insolvent and according to the Probate Estate and Fiduciary
Code at section 3392, the cost of administration and funeral expenses are to be paid
prior to unsecured creditors.
37. The creditors of the estate are:
Creditor Date Amount Nature
Leroy D. Smith, Sr. 6/18/90 $9,232.00 personal loan
Dana Steffy 8/26/02 $3,451.33 residential lease
James Neff 5/3/06 $3,510.39 residential lease
Providian Bank 8/29/00 $2,055.11 credit account
Ford Motor Credit 1991 $10,166.86 vehicle loan
38. The Petitioner will file a Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return which
indicates that no inheritance tax is due.
39. The decedent's real estate is assessed for real estate taxes at
$50,700.00. The plan in administering this estate was to take possession of the real
estate, sell it, pay the administrative expenses and to pay the creditors at least some
share of the estate.
40. As a result of the legal expense in fighting over title to the real estate, and
due to the actual value of the real estate compared to the perceived value of the real
estate, the estate administration plan was unsuccessful.
41. Despite the estate plan failing, all of the decedent's administrative
expenses will be paid; the delinquent real estate taxes will be paid; an Inheritance Tax
Return will be prepared and filed; and the title to the real estate has been cleared. In
those respects, the administration of the estate was successful.
WHEREFORE, your Petitioner prays that an Order authorizing payment of the
administrative expenses from the decedent's assets and that no distribution be made to
unsecured creditors due to the insolvency of the estate.

RE: Market Analysis/Evaluation of 344 Old State Road, Gardners
Dear Mike,
Having inspected the above property on Monday, February 4, 2013, I found the site to
consist of the following:
The property contains a lot .55/acres in size that is improved with a
1984 14' x 70' mobile home. The mobile home is in deplorable condition and not
fit for human habitation. The property also consists of a well and septic system
that have not been maintained for some time. Though the two systems may be
able to be repaired or be returned to some degree of functionality, the analysis of
the site was based on neither having value. A further assumption is being made
that the property would pass a new perc and probe for a sand mound septic
system-
Based upon my inspection and the assumptions stated above, it is the opinion of this
appraiser that the value as of February 4, 2013 is in the $15,000 to $17,000 price range
providing the site passes a suitable perc and probe.
Should y further questions, feel free to contact me at my office.
