TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

My mother and I have been trying to get some advice
on a situation we have. About 2 and a half years ago
my father suddenly passed away in Temperance, MI. He
left his best friend as the executor of the estate. My
father left everything to my brother and I. About 6
mths. before my dad died my grandmother had passed
away from cancer. She left everything to her three
children, my father, my Aunt Tina, and my Aunt Bobbie.
When Zeb, his best friend, moved everything out of my
dad’s apartment, he did not inventory anything that
was in it. He just packed it all up and shipped it to
my mother’s house in Norwalk, OH. A while after
everything was shipped over my brother and I had
started to notice missing items from my dad’s
apartment. Is there any way of holding Zeb
responsible for these missing items? Also, my dad had
3 or 4 guns in his collection. Zeb had sold 2 of the
guns to someone else, but made a deal that if we
wanted the guns back we could buy them back for the
same price that was paid for them. My brother nor I
was 18 at the time of the selling, but if we had a
choice we would not have sold those guns. Those guns
were my dad’s prized possession, he loved those guns
and now some stranger is using them doing who knows
what to them. They were registered in my fathers
name. We are a little suspicious of Zeb and the way
he is conducting business with the estate. He has
told us that everything is settled now. When my mom
called up there last year to get some money to send us
down to see our Aunt Tina in Texas, he told my mom not
to call there again asking for money. That is the
only time my mother has asked for money from him. I
don’t think he has the right to say what we can use
our money on or even if we can use it at all. I feel
that everything should have been turned over to my mom
when everything was finished. I am now 19 years old
and my brother is 16 years old. My mother and I are
going to speak with him on January 15, 2001 about
these matters. If you can give me any advice on how I
should handle this and the things I need to ask and
have proof of from him would be and extremely big
help. We could use any information you can give us.

Yes we got a copy of the will and trust...but haven't received anything since the estate closed. Plus Zeb was not bonded it was requested in the will. Does that hurt us?
Thanks
