211465L (1949-01-24)

George Carpenter is acting as administrator of the Estate of Paul Albert Carpenter, deceased, filing 47705.

The market value is listed as $1000 but it is unclear whether this is for the one half interest or the value of the whole property.

This transaction seems really confusing because the undivided interest for this and the sister title, 211466L, don't add up to one whole. Here is what the title searcher thinks the probably explanation is:

106152L:

Paul Carpenter and Sarah Carpenter owned the property together.

At some point before the next titles, both Paul and Sarah passed away in short succession.

211465L:

George Carpenter owns 1/2 interest in the property as the administrator of the estate of Paul Carpenter.

211466L:

On the transfer document, George Carpenter is transferring 1/6 interest in the property from himself as the administrator of the estate of Paul Carpenter, to himself as the administrator of the will of Sarah Carpenter. Thus, the title document lists George Carpenter administrator of the estate of Sarah Carpenter as having 2/3 interest (she already had 1/2 interest, and on the transfer document, received another 1/6 interest from the estate of Paul Carpenter). This would have left the estate of Paul Carpenter with 1/3 interest, making it clear that the interest between 211465L and 211466L does add up to one whole, but it is not clear what purpose this served.

211720L:

George Carpenter consolidates all interest in the property as the administrator of both Paul and Sarah Carpenter, and sells it to a third party.

No other documents.
