Estill County Fiscal Court approves sale of estate property and authorizes fund transfers

The Estill County Fiscal Court voted to approve the sale of real property from the estate of Patty Joe Cooper and authorized requested fund transfers after receiving the treasurer’s monthly report.

The court approved sale of 112 Stillwater Drive in Estill (listed in the transcript as the property address) from the estate of Patty Joe Cooper for $259,900. The sale was presented as part of proceedings tied to Madison County case 24-27; the fiscal court approved the conveyance and distribution of proceeds in accordance with the estate’s beneficiary designations, which name the Estill County Animal Shelter and Paws for Cause among recipients.

A motion to approve the estate sale was made and seconded; the motion passed by roll call. The court then received the Estill County treasurer’s monthly financial report and approved a series of transfers after a motion and roll call vote.

Meeting records show the roll‑call approval of the estate sale with members recorded as voting yes. The transcript records subsequent votes approving the treasurer’s report and transfers with the same procedural roll call.

The court did not provide additional public detail in the meeting about the buyers or the schedule for closing; the transcript indicates that funeral and final expenses from the estate were to be paid and the remaining balance divided among named beneficiaries. The treasurer’s report was presented as submitted to the court; specific transfer line items were not read aloud during the discussion in the transcript.
