ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the above named Defendants, by and through their counsel, JON M. LEWIS,
ESQUIRE, and respectfully makes this Answer to Complaint and avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
COUNT I
5. Admitted in part and denied in part. The contract, as it is signed, speaks for itself. The
rest is denied. However, at the time the Defendant Agatha Haut went into the facility, she was on
Medicare, She was promised medical assistance by Plaintiff. Henry Henson, Sr. filled out the papers with
the Plaintiff to obtain the medical assistance. Unfortunately, it is averred and believed that the Plaintiff
held the agreement until February 2004 with the result that, notwithstanding their promise to the
Defendant, Agatha Haut, there was a failure to submit the bills to Medicaid or medical assistance, which
would have paid the bills. Therefore, the Facility Agreement is only a portion of the agreements between
1
.....\LEG...LI'1\HtI\1lCIDHmnA.nowrl'lOComplllinl.doc
the parties, The first was the oral promise that the bi\1s would be submitted to Medicaid/Medicare andJor
medical assistance.
5. Admitted in part and denied in part. The said Henry Henson, Sr., provided the Plaintiff
with a Power of Attorney showing that he could sign as her representative. He did not sign on his own as
a responsible party to obligate himself to the bi\1s.
6. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted the bi\1 was received. However, it is
denied that Henry Henson, Sf. is responsible for the bi\1. He never agreed to that. It is further averred
that that sum is not due the Plaintiff because the Plaintiff promised to submit the bi\1s to
MedicarelMedicaid at the time of the signing ofthe contract, Exhibit "A", and failed to do so. The
Plaintiff told the Defendants that there was no need to submit pharmacy bi\1s or pharmacy prescriptions to
the VA since the Defendant was entitled to the free medicine. They made that statement because they
told the Defendants that MedicaidJmedica1 assistance would pay.
7. Denied. Neither Defendants owe the Plaintiff any money. The bills should have been
submitted to MedicarelMedicaid andJor medical assistance as they Wl:re the primary obligors and would
have been if the proper application was made or should have been made. The Defendants aver and
believe that neither would have gone into the Plaintiffs facility if they had been told that
MedicareIMedicaid would not be paying for it. Neither would have the money to pay for the expenses.
8. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Defendants pray your Honorable Court grant judgment in their favor and against
the Plaintiff with interest and costs of suit.
COUNT II
9. Answered previously.
10. Admitted in part and denied in part, At the time of the transfer of the real estate, the
Defendant, Henry D. Henson, Sr., borrowed $49,900.00 from the Patriot Federal Credit Union to make
2
A:\LECAU7\Hwson'HmnAnswatoComplllint.doc
that purchase as the Plaintiffs well know. The mortgage was dated February 14,2003. The consideration
for transfer was $49,900.00. Out of that $49,900.00, the said Defendlmt, Agatha Haut, received the
proceeds. A true and correct copy of the settlement sheet is attached hereto, made a part hereof and
marked Exhibit "1 ", By reviewing Exhibit "1 ", one can observe the following payoffs including ABN
AMRO Mortgage Group, HomeEq second mortgage, Chambersburg Hospital, County taxes, judgment
owed to U.S. Clerk of Courts, etc., as well as closing costs. All those obligations were those of Agatha
HauL At closing, she received $17,279.36. Out of that amount, she paid other bi\1s, expenses and
distributions as she desired.
12. Denied. The house was worth $54,000.00. The Defendant had sold the property for
$54,000.00. That is the actual value of the property prior to the Complaint of Plaintiffs. A Sales
Agreement had been executed and a sale had originally been schedul,~d for September 1".
13. Denied. This was a sale for value even though Henry Henson, Sr. is the son of Agatha
HauL
14. Admitted. At the time of the sale the house was a substantial portion of Agatha Haut's
assets.
15. Denied. Agatha Haut was not insolvent at the time ofthe sale. She received $17,279.36
at time of sale plus she also received Social Security and a V A pension. This settlement was 2-14-03. She
was not in a nursing home on 2-14-03 and was in generally good health on that date.
16. Admitted.
17. Denied. The transfer was made of the property because the Defendant, Agatha Haut, had
numerous debts and obligations to payoff. Her son, Henry Henson, Sr. bought the house from her and
obtained a mortgage so he could pay off the debts and give Agatha Haut the $17,279.36 balance that she
wanted. This was done while she was in good mind and good health. Thus, both 17(A) and (B) are
answered in that there was no attempt to hinder, delay or default any creditor because money was used to
3
A,\LEGAL\ 71HwsoofunnAnsw<<toComplaiot.doc
pay the creditors and there was equivalent value for the property. The house is only worth $54,000.00
today.
WHEREFORE, Defendants pray your Honorable Court grant judgment in their favor and against
the Plaintiff with interest and costs of suit.
