PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

No.  |
| |
| |
ESTATE OF JOSEPH B. DUNN, DECEASED
|
| |
| |
|
PETITION FOR CITATION TO SHOW
CAUSE
WHY PETITIONER OR HER NOMINEE
SHOULD NOT BE APPOINTED ADMINISTRATOR
|
| |
| |
| The Petition of Mary Dunn respectfully
states that: |
| |
|
1.
|
 |
Joseph B. Dunn died intestate
on January 1, 1999, a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Decedent was survived
by Jane R. Dunn, his widow, and John Dunn, his only child, and by
no other heirs. |
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
Decedent owned personal
property and real estate at the time of his death which petitioner
is informed has a value in excess of $100,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
|
John Dunn, son of Joseph
B. Dunn, died on February 1, 1999. |
|
|
|
|
|
5.
|
|
Petitioner is the surviving
spouse and Executrix of the Will of John Dunn, the said John Dunn
being one of the two parties in interest in the Estate of Joseph B.
Dunn, Deceased. |
|
|
|
|
|
6.
|
|
Jane R. Dunn, surviving
spouse of Joseph B. Dunn, Deceased, has not taken out Letters of Administration
on his estate; although she has repeatedly been requested to do so
by Petitioner, she still refuses and neglects to do so. |
|
|
|
|
|
7.
|
|
The original Will has
never been in the possession of Joseph B. Dunn since its execution. |
|
| |
| |
| Wherefore,
Petitioner respectfully requests that a Citation be awarded, directed to
the said Jane R. Dunn, widow of Joseph B. Dunn, Deceased, to show cause
why Petitioner or Petitioner's nominee should not be granted Letters of
Administration. |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| Note: |
 |
When the proper
party has failed to apply for letters, it seems likely that the same
party will also fail to act after his appointment. Therefore, it is
advisable to request the petitioner's own appointment or the appointment
of his nominee, in order to compel the party entitled to letters to
act affirmatively if he wants to oppose the petition. |
