Respondents.
COMES NOW, ROBERT J. JONES, Esquire, Personal Representative of the referenced Estate, and he responds to the Court's Order to File Documents Required to Close Estate entered on May 25, 2011, and he would show that there are good grounds to continue to administer this Estate for the following reasons:
1. An adversary complaint has been filed in the case to partition real property of the Estate.
2. The proceeds from the prospective sale of the real property will be used to satisfy the claims of creditors.
3. But before there are proceeds, the property must be sold into the private and/or public real estate market.
4. The real estate market into which the property will be sold is non-functional and has been, since opening this Estate.
5. A hearing on the issue of partition is pending.
6. The undersigned respectfully requests that the Court recognize the difficulties of selling the real property and allow the same to occur, before ordering the closing of the Estate.
A. In so doing the interests of all interested parties and of the creditors of the Estate will be optimized.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned Personal Representative requests that the Court: (A.) set aside its Order to File Required Documents; (B.) grant the undersigned an enlargement of time to file the same until after the sale of the real property in the Estate; and (C.) grant the undersigned such other and further relief as the Court deems necessary to achieve proper administration of this case.
Dated: June 6, 2011.
