The Applicant is a longtime friend of the Decedent. An Application for Independent Administration is pending upon Decedent’s Estate. It is necessary and in the best interest of the Estate for the Court to determine who are the heirs and only heirs of the Decedent. The name, age, marital status, and address of each of the Decedent’s heirs, the relationship of each heir to Decedent, and the true interest of the heir in the Estate of the Decedent are as follows: Sarah Elizabeth Arredondo, from Houston, Texas, an Adult, Single Daughter, over 21 years of age, True Interest: one-third interest in Estate of Decedent; Julia Ann Wiley, from Waco, Texas, an Adult, Single Daughter, over 21 years of age, True Interest: one-third interest in Estate of Decedent; Katherine Paige Hill, from Dallas, Texas, an Adult, Single Granddaughter whose mother, Mary Alison Hill, preceded Decedent in death on June 29, 2007, True Interest: one-third interest in Estate of Decedent. At the time of death, Decedent owned property described generally as real estate, an automobile, cash, personal effects, and household goods, all of probable value of less than $100,000.00. All children born to or adopted by Decedent are Sarah Elizabeth Arredondo, Julia Ann Wiley, and Mary Alison Hill, as noted Mary Alison Hill died on June, 2007.

Debts that are not secured by liens upon real estate are owed by the Decedent, and there is a necessity for an administration of the Estate. The Application contains all of the material facts and circumstances within the knowledge and information of the Applicant that might reasonably tend to show the time or place of death or the names or residences of all heirs, if the time or place of death or the names or residences of all the heirs are not definitely known to the Applicant. The Applicant prays that citation issue as required by law; that upon hearing hereof, the Court determine who are the heirs and only heirs of Decedent and their respective shares and interests in the Estate and find that a necessity exists for an administration of Decedent’s Estate.
