PETITION
The Petition of Jane R. Dunn respectfully states that:
1. Joseph B. Dunn died a resident of 47 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 7, 2001, intestate.2. Letters of Administration were granted to Petitioner by the Register of Wills of Philadelphia County on July 16, 2001.3. The Inventory of the assets of the Decedent has not been filed, but the total estimated value of the estate is $44,900 of which $7,900 is the appraised value of premises 47 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.4. Fire Insurance Company has filed its bond as surety on the bond of the Administrator in the amount of $74,000.5. Premises 47 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were owned by the Decedent at the time of his death and contain a two-story dwelling of brick construction; the premises are now occupied by Jane R. Dunn; the current tax assessment is $3,100.6. On October 1, 2001, Petitioner executed an Agreement to sell the premises to John H. Doe, of 789 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for $7,900. A true and correct copy of the Agreement of Sale is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."7. Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a schedule setting forth a computation of the estimated net proceeds which Petitioner will receive at the time of settlement (including an itemized list of estimated closing expenses) indicating that Petitioner will receive the net amount of $7,200 at the time of settlement.8. There are no mortgages, delinquent taxes, judgments, or any other liens of record with respect to the premises known to Petitioner.9. The parties in interest in the Estate of Joseph B. Dunn, Deceased, all sui juris, are as follows: Jane R. Dunn 47 Main Street Philadelphia, PA 19000 | Widow and Administratrix |
Mr. Joseph B. Dunn, Jr. 6 North Street Philadelphia, PA 19000 | Son |
Miss Elaine S. Dunn 567 Main Street Philadelphia, PA 19000 | Daughter |
Mrs. Ann Smith 201 Pine Street Philadelphia, PA 19000 | Daughter |
10. The consents of all of the parties except Ann Smith are attached.11. Notice of the filing of this Petition was mailed to Ann Smith on October 15, 2001, and a copy of the Notice is attached.12. The Appraisal of 47 Main Street by John Q. Black, a qualified appraiser, is attached as Exhibit "C."13. The sale is desirable for the proper administration and distribution of the estate because the real estate is inappropriate for distribution to four adult beneficiaries who maintain separate residences. Wherefore, Petitioner respectfully requests that she, as Administratrix of the Estate of Joseph B. Dunn, be directed to enter such additional security as this Court determines, with Fire Insurance Company as surety, and upon entry of the same, she be authorized to receive the proceeds of sale of premises 47 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as more particularly described herein.
