Re: Estate of William R. Pressley,Jr.
Renunciation
Dear Ms. Bailey,
My condolence to you on the loss of your father. I knew your father and had done legal
work for him over the years. He was a man who liked a challenge. He will be missed.
I recently had the opportunity to meet with Billy Pressley and Bryan Pressley to discuss
the administration of your father's estate. They told me about a meeting which included most of
Bill's children.At that meeting, it was determined that Billy and Bryan would handle the estate. I
suggested to them that only one of the two be named as the administrator of your father's estate,
with the understanding,that both of them would confer on matters together. They agreed,
With that in mind, I would like to ask you to sign the enclosed Renunciation form. This
form is being sent to all eight of Bill's children (nine minus Bryan who we propose serve).As his
children, you each have the right to serve as the administrator. I am asking that you renounce
your right to serve as the administrator in favor of Bryan.
This does not mean that you will receive more or less of the estate than you would have
otherwise. It simply means that you will not be the one working with our office to pay the bills,
pay the fees and taxes and do the work of the administration of your father's estate.
I need you to sign the Renunciation from in favor of Bryan,have the form notarized, and
return it to our office in the enclosed envelope. Once we have received all of the signed
Renunciations, we will open your father's estate and have Bryan appointed as Administrator.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions,please feel
free to contact me. I may be reached at (717) 241-6500 or by e-mail at mam@mateyalaw.com.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Mateya
