3. Petitioner was a principal creditor of Decedent.
4. Petitioner desires to have Shaun E. O'Toole,Esquire, appointed by the
Court to administer the Estate of Estella Hennigan for the purpose of paying all debts
owed by Decedent, qualifying the Decedent for the receipt of Medical Assistance
benefits,and distributing the balance of the estate pursuant to the intestate laws of the
