Mr. Jonathan Lowell <br /> November 25,2015 <br /> Page 3 <br /> name of the Estate. As of November 16, 2015, the Estate checking account has a <br /> balance of$339,924.06. (Financial documents -Attachment 3). Attachment 3 has the <br /> relevant quickbooks reports from the checking account, including the check register, a <br /> report of expenditures by vendor, the and separate expenses and deposits reports. <br /> We are blessed in that the District Attorney prepared a detailed inventory of Jean Jones <br /> various assets dated May 2014 in the course of investigating the elder abuse case. My <br /> Office Manager Dee Vernon has annotated that inventory to show what proceeds we <br /> actually received, or expect to receive upon sale of each respective asset. Also <br /> included in Attachment 3. <br /> The remaining items to be liquidated that will result in additions to the checking account <br /> are sale of the stocks, and sale of the 1969 Mustang. The stocks based on November <br /> 16, 2015 stock prices will add approximately $33,749.37 to the Estate checking account <br /> (note Attachment has same stocks but value from one week earlier). The 1969 <br /> Mustang has been appraised as worth $3,000 (part of Attachment 3). The restitution <br /> (though it will be received over time) will be a $29,952 asset. <br /> We will be asking the beneficiary for authorization to auction the 1969 Mustang on ebay. <br /> Those additions to the Estate checking account will bring the account to approximately <br /> $376,673, plus whatever comes in on the restitution payments. <br /> The December property taxes have been paid, but $5,992.92 will be due on April 1, <br /> 2016, if the house is still owned by the Estate. • <br /> The personal items, furniture, and jewelry within the home, though extensive, were not <br /> of sufficient value to attract a commission estate sale company, after several attempts. <br /> We are pursuing having Pleasanton Heritage Association and the Humane Society <br /> jointly conduct the estate sale in exchange for keeping the proceeds from the estate <br /> sale—these are both worthy causes supported by Jean. While not loaded with <br /> expensive jewelry, Jean had accumulated substantial collectibles, much of it quite <br /> interesting. We have tentatively set the date of Saturday, January 16, 2016 for the open <br /> house and estate sale. <br /> 2. Conserve Historic Home and Property <br /> We paid off the Bank of America mortgage on 309 Neal Street in May 2015, for <br /> $188,810. <br /> The caretaker for Jean Jones in her declining year was Barbara Cleaver, who was living <br /> in 309 Neal Street while caring for Jean at the time of Jean's death. We had Barbara <br /> stay on as caretaker of the home (without rent) and to sort through the mass of material <br /> left by Jean Jones, who was a bit of a hoarder. We paid Barbara $18 per hour for this <br />
