Slazinski, Esq. May 12,2015 TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES: RE: The Joyce M. Danas Living Trust Dated September 28, 2004 Our File No.: 12-06-075 Dear Interested Party: Enclosed please find a copy of the Successor Trustee's Final Account and Proposed Property Distribution for the above referenced Trust for your review (I have also provided you with a copy of the initial Inventory and First Annual Account in the event that you do not have those documents readily available). I have enclosed herein two (2) copies of a form titled "Receipt of Distributive Share" relative to the above referenced Trust estate. We must obtain a signed copy of this fowl from each beneficiary in order to distribute the Trust assets once the 28 day period for objections to the Final Account and Proposed Property Distribution has run. Accordingly, please review and sign one of the enclosed forms on the signature line provided for you and mail it back to my office in the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope (keep the second copy of the "Receipt of Distributive Share" for your records). Also, we realize that the Receipt of Distributive Share form asks you to acknowledge that you have "received" your inheritance when, in fact, you have not yet received it. Once we have received the signed Receipts from all 8 beneficiaries, we will mail your inheritance check directly to you. If, for whatever reason, you are not comfortable with this request, the only other available option is for you to call our office and make an appointment to bring the signed Receipt of Distributive Share form into the office. We would then exchange the Receipt of Distributive Share form for your inheritance check (once all of the other beneficiaries have submitted said forms to us). Thank you for your attention in this matter, in anticipation of your prompt response, I remain, Very Truly Yours, LAW OFFICES OF RICHARD S. MROCZKA, P.L.L.C. RSM/as Enclosure (5) cc: Ms. Elaine R.
