Commission refers estate dispute (Clarence K. Miller) to fiduciary commissioner with 15-day deposit deadline
Summary
The Monongalia County Commission referred a contested petition regarding the estate of Clarence Keith Miller to a fiduciary commissioner, directing the claimant to file the required deposit within 15 days or the commission will take action; the referral was approved by voice vote.
The Monongalia County Commission on Sept. 10 referred a contested estate matter involving the estate of Clarence Keith Miller to a fiduciary commissioner and set a 15-day deadline for the claimant to file the required hearing deposit.
Chair explained the record shows a petition to remove an executor and an objection filed by the Executrix's counsel, identified in the transcript as David Grunow. Commissioners discussed that when a claimant requests a fiduciary hearing, a deposit is ordinarily required to schedule that hearing; because the opposing party filed an objection, commissioners decided the claimant seeking the hearing should be required to post the deposit to prevent the matter from dragging on. The commission's motion directs that the claimant must pay the deposit within 15 days or the matter will return to the commission for action.
A commissioner moved to refer the matter to a fiduciary commissioner with the 15-day deposit requirement; another commissioner seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records David Grunow speaking during public comment to clarify filing chronology and noting the first filing had requested a fiduciary hearing.
