Monongalia County Commission refers Lindt estate and removes executrix in Miller estate
Summary
The commission referred the estate matter of Jonathan Robert Lindt II to a fiduciary commissioner and approved motions to deny an objection and remove the executrix in the Clarence Keith Miller estate, directing the substitute executor to complete administration.
The Monongalia County Commission on Oct. 8 referred the estate matter of Jonathan Robert Lindt II to a fiduciary commissioner and took formal actions in a separate probate matter involving the estate of Clarence Keith Miller.
County discussion on the Lindt estate centered on a creditor claim that, the commission said, had not been forwarded to the decedent’s insurance. Commissioners moved to refer the matter to a fiduciary commissioner for further handling; the motion passed on an oral unanimous vote.
On the Miller estate, the commission reviewed prior orders and a missed $500 deposit that the commission previously required the executrix to file with the fiduciary commissioner. The commission recited a timeline of filings and deadlines, including a late request from the executrix’s attorney for more time. After discussion, the commission moved to deny an objection filed by the estate attorney and to remove the executrix; the commission approved a motion requesting that the second-named executor in the will complete administration of the estate. Both motions carried on unanimous voice votes.
The commission did not record individual roll-call votes in the public remarks; minutes reflect the motions passed with all members saying “aye.” The commission’s actions were procedural, referring the Lindt matter for fiduciary review and replacing the executor in the Miller matter to advance estate administration.
Clarifying details discussed included the commission’s prior 15-day and 30-day deadlines for the Miller estate and that the fiduciary office received a request for additional time after the initial 15-day period. The commission also noted prior filings by creditor(s) and responses but did not state additional monetary awards or final distributions at today’s meeting.
