RE: Branscum V. Brflnscum
Dear Laurie:
I enclose a signed and witnessed change of ownership form for Royal Insurance
Company. I enclose an unsigned Deed. Dr. Branscum reviewed the Deed and noted that
it is inaccurate to the extent that it does not exclude approximately five acres which were
transferred to the Federal Government as a part of the Appalachian Trail. We are willing
to sign a quit-claim__Deed but not a warranty Deed. Please provide either a quit-claim Deed
or a warranty Deed with a proper description of the property conveyed.
On another issue, there .is a safe deposit box at Farmers Trust Company in Carlisle.
Each party has a key. My client would be pleased to turn his key over to your client and
arrange for Farmers Trust to send any future rental bills to her. In the alternative, if she
will provide her key, we will close the safe deposit box. Please provide your client's wishes
in this regard.
Very truly yours,

RE: George P. Branscum, Jr./Belvedere Medical Corporation
Profit Sharing Plan
Dear Jane:
This letter, will introduce me as the attorney for George Branscum who entered into
a property separation agreement with his ex-wife, Marcia Bran.scum, on October 31, 1991.
I enclose a copy of the separation and property settlement agreement. As you will note in
Section 10 (c) of the agreement, Dr. Branscnm is to Wamfer to his wife the contents of his
profit-sharing plan excepting $120,000.00 which he retains for himself. That transfer has
never taken place. To effect the transfer, I have prepared a qualffied domestic relations
order, a draft of which I enclose. We have agreed with Marcia Branscum's attorney, Lori
Saltzgiver in Harrisburl~ that each of the parties would be entitled to receive interest on his
or her share of the profit-sharing plan from November 30, 1991 to the present, or to the
most recent time for which you have figures.
We would appreciate your help 'calculating the share of each party as of November__._'
30, 1991. Of course, we know Dr. Branscnm's share is $120,000.00. The balance in the
account would be Mrs. Bran.scum's. That is the'figure I do not have.
Secondly, can you calculate the interest earned on the account since November 30,
19917 With that infoimation, I can apportion Mrs. Branscum's share of the interest as well.
Jane Burke 2

Finally, as plan administrator, would you review the QDRO to let me know if it is
acceptable to effect the tran.~fer we wish.
Thank you for your help with this matter.
