Proceedings of City of Paducah July 13, 1939
ircli:ding, of course, this property, was willed to Mattis V. Boone for her natural life
and at her death to Frank C. Boone and the sisters of E. G. Boone. Thic will was
probated January 10, 1922 which is, as noted, three days before the deed above men-
tioned was recorded. ,apparently, wince the decd as shown at page 2 bears a later
date than the will, it beim October 03, 1920 and the will bein_- dated September 1,
1919, Hattie V. Boone took under the deed. In any event she, together with Llvira
Holland, F. C. Boone, Ea__•ie L. Orme and R. J. Orme, under date of February 26, 1922,
conveyed the captioned property to Laura Smith. An affidavit should be required
that these parties with the exception of Mattis V. Boone were respectively the brother
and all of the sisters of E. G. Boone surviving at that time.
(3) Laura B. Smith, it is our information, married Richard Tandy, who has
since died. P -n affidavit of this effect should be required.
(4) Shown at page 5 is the will of Laura B. Tandy, by which the captioned
property was devised to 11ollie McPherson, Irene Jackson, Ruby McCree and Helen Clark
In fee simple.
These parties have executed a deed which apparently is sufficient to vent the
record title in the City of Paducah, subject to the exceptions herein mentioned.
However, Section 2087 of the Kentucky Statutes in substance provides in part that
creditors of a decedent have 12 months from the date of the death if the decedent
during which to make claim on real estate devised, and, therefore, we would regard it
as better practice and indeed as the only safe practice to wait until 12 months after
the date of Laura Tandy+s death before accepting title. However, Laura Tandy died
in (larch, 1939 and the rif;ht of way committee advises us that this property must be
obtained now or not at all, and there have been furnished affidavit of Mollie McPher-
son, the executrix of Laura Tandy, that there are no debts of that estate known to her
after careful investigation and Mr. Wai•shall, the abstractor, advises us that he has
made an independent investigation and pan find none. Under these circumstances wo
believe as a practical matter that it is probably the thing for the city to do to
accept the title in its defective condition.
(5) Taxes upon the property amount to somethinZ less than $10.00 as shown
by the abstract and should, of course, be paid at the time the deed is accepted.
Subject to the foregoing and to any changes in title, the absence Of which
will be certified by the examiner and abstractor, when the transaction is closed,
the acceptance of the deed attached which ha:: been properly signed and acknowledged,
will operate to vest in the City of Paducah a sufficient title in the captioned
property for the purposes for which it is being acquired.
Yours sincerely
