Gc, Deaton and wife for the sum of $5, 242.34, and the judgment against J. D. Lewis for the sum of $2,387.19, should be transferred and assigned to a trustee by the administrator, so that the trustee may hold and collect, if possible, any or all portions of said Judgment for the benefit of the heirs of J.

Hartness, They further say that they think it ‘s s o u q i e y "v y So w e r PE E ‘s s o u q j i e H "v y so w e r ve e l advisable to carefully investigate the value of the two lots on East Broad Street and Davie Avenue, and determine now whether or not the estate has any equity in said lots before same are abandoned entirely. With these exceptions, these defendants have no objections whatever to granting the relief asked for in the petition as filed.

Hartness > Ld EXCEPTION TO the Honorable C. G. Smith, Clerk of the Superior Court of Iredell County, North Carolina: Now comes the undersigned attorneys for Edna H. Holl- and, one of the heirs of the above named deceased and files ex- ception to the final report of Albert Hartness, Executor of said estate, for the following purposes and reasons: That the final report filed by said Executor or Admini strator shows on its face that one of the heirs was paid a 5% real estate commission for selling a portion of the real estate and even if said tenant in common was a licensed realtor, which is denied, that said charges by one of the heirs in common are unfair and unjust to the other tenants in common and not allowed by law; That in any event, the final report shows on its face that the Executor or Administrator has charged a 5% commission on all receipts and items paid out when in fact, he did not earn said commissions if it is found that said tenant in common who alledgedly sold property is in law entitled to a real estate commission, THEREFORE, the undersigned as attorneys for Edna H. Holland do hereby respectfully request the court to set aside the final report of the Executor or Administrator in this estate and to disapprove the allowance of a real estate commission in any amount and that said proceeds be disbursed to the tenants in common and/or surviving heirs as provided by law.

Hartness ) fo the Honorable C. G. Smith, Clerk of the Superior Court of Iredell County, North Carolina: The Executor, Albert Hartness, of the estate of Mollie S. Hartness, files the following Reply to the Exceptions heretofore filed by Edna H. Holland to the Executor's final report: 1. That the said Executor, Albert Hartness, was at the time of the death of his mother and at the time of the execution of the will, a resident of Morgan City, Louisians and qualified as Executor of the estate by the appointment of Neil S. Sowers as Agent for the service of process in North Carolina, 2. That your Executor collected all of the money that was due the estate at that time and applied it, as far as he could, to the payment of debts, After applying all montes available, there remained some to be paid on the funeral account. 3. Following the instructions of the will of his mother and also by reason of necessity of having to sell land to pay debts, he made many trips back and forth from Morgan City, Louis- iana, in connection with trying to sell the farm, all of which was very expensive and costly to him, 4, All of the heirs at law were trying to sell the farm, but none came up with an acceptable offer. Your Executor finally in desperation to close out the estate authorized his brother, Charles Hartness, who has had considerable dealing in real estate of his own and in handling property for others, to try to work out a sale of the property. 5. That after much negotiation, his brother, Charles Hartness, after spending much time in Iredell County, came up with an accepfable offer, which he thought was a fair and reasonable price for the said property. His brother, after working hard for several months to sell the property, in addition thereto had to have the property surveyed and spent 3-1/2 days with the Surveyor surveying the property, and your answering Executor is of the opinion that Charles Hartness, his brother, earned the 5% commission charged by him for selling the property, as he was able to get a price far in excess of whatever anybody else had furnished to him. 6, That after the sale of the property and before the money was disbursed, your Executor caused to be issued to each heir at law a copy of the report as prepared by him to be filed with the court; that more than 20 days had elapsed, and hearing nothing from the other heirs at law, and no objections having been filed, proceeded to disburse the money, as by law he was allowed to do, and such delay on the part of the heirs at law is pleaded in bar of their right to sustain this action. WHEREFORE, you answering Executor prays the court that the report, has heretofore filed by him, be in all matters ratified, approved and confirmed, Respectfully submitted, SOWERS, AVERY & CROSSWHITE u—t—» J By: tt tA tt -C sce Attorneys for Albert Hartness After 5 days return to CLERK SUPERIOR COURT Statesville, N.
