Law Office Report #42 \u2022 7\/25\/78 \u2022 from June \u2022 page 1<\/p>\n

1. Cora Elliott, 2327 Broadway, Indianapolis \u2013 see report #32, item 6 for background. The information that came back from overseas was sent on to Mrs. The information that came back from overseas was sent on to Mrs. Elliott and her attorney by me. In the mail this weekend can the attached Affidavit of Survivorship and Warranty Deed, which need to be signed by Marceline & Jim. The Affidavit is signed by Marceline; the Deed by both Marceline and Jim. Both documents have to be notarized<\/u>. Mail them back to me when they are done.<\/p>\n

2. Serena Hunt \u2013 first, her property was recorded in PT name and then sold by PT in September 1976 with a net to us of $20,734. Her savings accounts were closed and cashiers checks sent to her c\/o Jack Beam in August 1976 totaling $3062.<\/p>\n

Kris Kice visited her this week, with Dorren [Doreen] Greaves. The woman has been moved out of San Francisco, to a hospital in Burlingame, where she is on Medi-Cal \u2013 they are sending monthly letters to Rheavina [Beam] see attached. Serena is confined to bed, uses wheelchair to get around, uses bedpan, has some control over bladder; physically is stronger than used to be; has gained some weight, no longer looks emaciated. Senile, doesn’t recognize people as having seen them before but did say church people visitor all the time. We have no record of passport for her in James files.<\/p>\n

At this point, the property has been dealt with so that is not in question. If we were to take her on, it would cost us over $1000 a month. I think we should continue visits, maybe on a weekly basis, and if questions come up, just say Mrs. Beam is out of the state and unable to take care of Mrs. Hunt’s affairs at this time.<\/p>\n

3. Eddie Washington \u2013 Mac [Jim McElvane] is winding up the sale of her property on Towne Avenue in LA, for $27,000. She had homesteaded this property years ago, which means that we cannot process paper for her with a power of attorney. Mac suggests we have her sign an abandonment of homestead, which is attached. This will have to be notarized. Please send back as soon as possible as the sale is completed and we will need this to wind it up. We already have power of attorney for her but can’t use it till we get the abandonment of homestead recorded. [Handwritten note added: “(on original set only)”]<\/p>\n

4. Carol Ann Young\/Smith \u2013 Mac is selling the Note on her property in LA; we have a power of attorney for her but it is signed Carol Ann Young and all the papers on the property are Carol Ann Smith. So please have her sign the attached financial power of attorney in the name Carol Ann Smith a.k.a. Carol Ann Young. Return this right away in the mail. DON’T DATE IT AND DO NOT NOTARIZE IT.<\/p>\n

5. Peoples Forum, Inc. \u2013 enclosed is a letter from Franchise Tax Board re nonfiling of income tax return for 1977. If anyone is going to file a return on this, I would assume it would be done over there, so here it is. [Handwritten notation on R-1-C-4a: \u201cforget it!\u201d]<\/p>\n

6. Ronald and Sue Grimm \u2013 had a time deposit account with Wells Fargo in San Rafael; their 6\/23 notice says that they had a balance of $378. Somebody there should ask them if this is still active and if anything should be done to withdraw it, or was it taken care of before they left.

Law Office Report #42 \u2022 7\/25\/78 \u2022 from June \u2022 page 2<\/p>\n

7. Vivian Anderson \u2013 she left behind her a bank account in LA with insufficient funds in it \u2013 she’s overdrawn $784.<\/p>\n

8. San Francisco Action Equality \u2013 request for past due return. If any tax return is to be sent in to Franchise Tax Board, it would come from there, so here is what we\u2019ve received. We are not sending them an information return, as directed by Chet and Evelyn’s mother, as we are to let the corporation lapse. That also goes for Peoples Forum, Inc.

7\/24\/78 report from Buford:<\/p>\n

1. Escrows now open:<\/p>\n

a. Ernest [Earnest] Jones \u2013 was approved this week, a one-day submission, figures a week and a half, at least, to close. $15,000<\/p>\n

b. Roosevelt Turner \u2013 still waiting on overseas mail of signed deed<\/p>\n

c. Eddie Washington \u2013 second deal went through, sold for $27,000. This place was homesteaded by Eddie \u2013 that means we can’t use a power of attorney to transact documents for her. So we are sending an abandonment of homestead form over with the latest law office report, which she will have to sign and it will have to be notarized and returned to us in the mail in order for us to close the sale. Mac thanks the deal will close in about a month and a half \u2013 that depends on how quickly we can get the form over there, signed and mailed back.<\/p>\n

d.Carol Ann Young \u2013 2 problems. The first is that the original Note has never been found so Mac has to have it bonded by a title company, which will cost around $200. The second is that in all the powers of attorney we have here for her, she signed her name Carol Ann Young but all the papers on her property are in the name Carol Ann Smith. So we have to send out with the latest law office report another power of attorney form for her to sign as Carol Ann Smith. That will hold up the sale to get the paper back in the mail. $2000 Note.<\/p>\n

e. RWV [Redwood Valley] \u2013 Bogue, sold, $2072.12 net, closes any day.<\/p>\n

Swinney, sold, $17,236 net.<\/p>\n

Pugh, sold, $4346.80 net.<\/p>\n

All of these are on 24% discount. Total to us $23,654<\/p>\n

But \u2013 on all these properties, we cannot locate the original Notes, so we will have to bond them, which will cost around $200 each.<\/p>\n

II. Unsold:<\/p>\n

A. RWV:<\/p>\n

1. Parsonage\/RWV Temple \u2013 nothing new<\/p>\n

2. Ranch \u2013 nothing new that hasn’t been conveyed over the radio. This one changes day by day.<\/p>\n

3. Godshalk Note \u2013 no offer yet. At 24% discount, we would get $7776.33 net. We have the original Note on this one, so we don’t have to worry about getting it bonded.<\/li>\n

R-1C-3g<\/p>\n

II. Unsold, continued:<\/p>\n

B. LA:<\/p>\n

1. Santa Barbara \u2013 nothing new, still waiting for FHA approval<\/p>\n

2. Ernestine Blair \u2013 no takers yet<\/p>\n

3. Odenia Robinson \u2013 no takers yet<\/p>\n

4. Berda Johnson’s acreage \u2013 recorded in Garry’s name. Showed it this week; very difficult place to show well, mountain terrain, have to travel a long way on mountain road, by the time reach the place, buyer\u2019s enthusiasm gone. [Eugene] Chaikin and Mac went there together once so Chaikin should be able to relate to this one.<\/p>\n

C. SF:<\/p>\n

1. Edwards place on McKinnon \u2013 listed last week with broker; no word yet.<\/p>\n

2. SF Temple \u2013 Mac will schedule another showing with another broker when he gets the word from us here; this would be another company other than Coldwell Banker.<\/p>\n

3. Pets Unlimited \u2013 no word. Told us last month they would pay something in 2 weeks; it’s now been 3 weeks and nothing; Mac will call them.<\/p>\n

James Simpson’s place in Bakersfield \u2013 Mac has to drive up to Bakersfield next week and try to find the guy who has not paid anything on the Note.<\/p>\n

Alvarado Terrace: we got Garry to sign the property back from his firm to Peoples Temple, in the event that we have a buyer for the apartments.<\/p>\n

At the same time we spoke to him about putting the RWV ranch in the name of the Garry firm; he no longer wants to have the deeds put in the name of the firm but rather just wants a promissory note drawn up stating that PT owes the firm such and such an amount as security for property held by the firm. As I understand it, this is not what we want \u2013 because our intent is to get the property out of the name of PT and free from attachment. A promissory note wouldn’t protect us from that. He says if our property was attached and there was such a promissory note, they couldn’t get anything because there would be no equity left. That’s not the point \u2013 we couldn’t sell it if they attached it or put a lis pendens [formal notice] on it. We will talk to him about [it] again.<\/p>\n
