The debtor has been in ill health for two years and did not provide forwarding addresses to her investments and leasing contracts. As a result, payments/invoices were returned to the Sender who placed a hold on the account by the leasing firms. For this reason, royalties are unknown through 2016 as payments ceased when USPS mail was returned as undeliverable.

The deed is in the name of the debtor’s late husband and was inherited by the debtor. A copy of the Will and Death Certificate will be provided to the winning bidder for recording with Pleasants County.
