3. Doris A. Cashman died unmarried and survived by two sons, namely, Glenn E.
Cashman of949 Wertzville Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and
Rick A. Cashman, currently incarcerated at the Augusta Correctional Center, P. O.
Box 1000, Craigsville, Virginia 24430. Dale Cashman, a third son, predeceased
the decedent and left two daughters, namely, Michele 1. Cashman and Angela J.
Cashman, currently residing at Box 184, Bazine, Kansas 67516.
4. The Register of Wills determines whether or not letters of administration will be
granted, and if so to whom, primarily on the bases of the statutory preferences and
of his/her examination of the petition submitted to hirn/her by the party or parties
seeking letters.
5. As there is no surviving spouse, according to the Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries
Code, Section 3153, Letters of Administration are to be granted to those who are
entitled under the intestate laws and who the Register, in his/her discretion, shall
judge will best administer the estate. Preference is given according to the sizes of
the shares of those in this class.
6. Glenn E. Cashman is entitled to administer the Estate because I) Rick A. Cashman
is unavailable, incarcerated in Virginia and has refused to respond to any
correspondence regarding his qualifications/renunciation as Administrator; and 2)
Michele 1. Cashman and Angela J. Cashman are residents of Kansas and are
entitled to a smaller share of the net distributable estate. Furthermore, Section
3156 of the PEF Code states the Register in his/her discretion may refuse Letters
of Administration to nonresidents of Pennsylvania.
7. Petitioner requests that probate be completed and Letters of Administration be
issued so that estate administration may be commenced.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that Your Honorable Register of Wills issue a
citation directed to Rick A. Cashman, Michele L. Cashman and Angela J. Cashman to
appear and show cause, if any there be, why Letters of Administration in the Estate of
Doris A. Cashman, deceased, should not be granted solely to Glenn E. Cashman.
