Re: Guardianship Estate of Kathleen M. Knisely
File No.: 21-12-946
Dear Judge Guido:
You may recall that in your Order dated March 14, 2013, a copy of which is enclosed, for
the above-referenced guardianship, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, as Guardian of the
Estate ("BMTC") was authorized to "pay for all remodeling work Mrs. Knisely desires to
have done on her home". As a result, Mrs. Knisely has been remodeling her home and
apparently is very pleased with the results.
The most recent request is to have Mrs. Knisely's tennis court resurfaced and the fence
repaired for the cost of$20,000.00. For your reference, I am enclosing copies of the two (2)
estimates. The one estimate is for$57,000.00 and the other is for$20,000.00. Also
enclosed are photographs of Mrs. Knisely playing tennis on the court in its current
condition.
Once again, BMTC is making a request in writing to the Court to authorize the cost of the
renovation of the tennis court to avoid the expense of a Court hearing to address this issue.
As you may recall, Mrs. Knisely's home and the surrounding land is not held as part of the
Guardianship estate but is held in the Kathleen M. Knisely Qualified .Personal Residence
Trust ("QPRT") dated June 5, 2012. Mrs. Knisely's daughter. Kathleen L. Knisely, is the
Trustee of the QPRT, and pursuant to the terms of the QPRT Agreement, Mrs. Knisely has
retained the right to live at the residence for a period of ten (10) years, and she is required to
pay for all maintenance and any renovations. For your reference, I ant enclosing a copy of
the QPRT document
Please review these estimates. Please feel free to contact me directly at (610) 254-2043 if
you have any questions or need any additional information or documentation. We look
forward to the Court's response.

computed at a rate equal to the interest rate assumed for
noncharitable interests under Code §7520 on the Cessation
Date, adjusted by the amount of any income actually
distributed by the Trust to the Grantor during the deferral
period between the Cessation Date and the date on which
the Annuity Amount is paid.
7
(e) Annual Payments - The Annuity Amount shall be paid in
