PETITION FOR DETERMINATION

OF HEIRS OF THE ESTATE OF

JAMES WILLIAM HALL

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

COUNTY OF PICKENS

CASE NUMBER 2015-ES-39-574

IN THE MATTER OF: ESTATE OF

JAMES WILLIAM HALL

1. Petitioners John Hall and Melissa Stafford (hereinafter referred to as “Petitioners”), hereby move before the Probate Court in the County of Pickens, State of South Carolina for an order determining the heirs and administering the estate of James William Hall.

2. Petitioners are the sole surviving heirs of the decedent and are citizens and residents of Pickens County, South Carolina.

3. The decedent died on April 19, 1999 in Pickens County, South Carolina without a Will. A copy of the decedent’s death certificate is attached hereto.

4. The decedent’s parents, brothers and sisters all predeceased the decedent. At the time of the decedent’s death, his sole surviving heirs were Petitioners, who are his children, and his wife, who has subsequently died.

5. The decedent’s wife, Linda Fay Morrison Hall, died on May 14, 2015 leaving as her sole heirs the Petitioners.

6. Linda Fay Morrison Hall lived in Pickens County, South Carolina following the death of the decedent until the time of her death.

7. At the time of the decedent’s death, both the decedent and his wife were joint titleholders of Lot number 21 in Pine Grove Subdivision bearing a street address of 100 Revis Drive, Central, Pickens County, South Carolina, tax map number # F18-00-418H.

8. Additionally, at the time of the decedent’s death, both the decedent and his wife were joint titleholders to a 1978 Fiesta mobile home.

9. After the death of the decedent, his wife paid all the property taxes and all the expenses arising out of the above referenced properties. After the death of Linda Fay Morrison Hall, Petitioners have paid all the property taxes and all the expenses arising out of the above property.

10. At the time of the decedent’s death, the decedent’s wife, now deceased, was unaware of the necessity to probate her husband’s estate as she was co-owner of the decedent’s assets. Petitioners, children of the decedent and his wife, have sought to probate their deceased mother’s estate now only to realize that their father’s estate must also be probated to pass title to the assets.

11. Petitioners have undertaken a review of the decedent’s family records and confirm that they – along with their mother (now deceased) – are the sole surviving heirs of the decedent.

12. Petitioners possess no knowledge or belief as to the existence of any other possible heirs of the decedent or interested parties.

WHEREFORE, Petitioners pray that this Court issue an order finding that Petitioners, along with their mother, Linda Fay Morrison Hall (now deceased), are the sole surviving heirs of the decedent and granting and releasing the above referenced property to Petitioners along with their mother, Linda Fay Morrison Hall (now deceased).
