Sometime this month. Not sure of the date this was written. My mother, Barbara Stairs, took over the daily management of the accounts and I slept for two days straight. I awoke to two more months of my Attorney’s fussing over how the inventory report should be formatted. I had completed the inventory on time, but it was held up for months while cosmetic changes were made by the professionals. Squeaker Cougar came to Big Cat Rescue as a 6-month boarder on 1/9/98. His owner was relocating and did not yet have an enclosure for him. He said the cat was ruining his sex life because the cat doesn't like women. He is neutered and declawed and has made new friends here in the volunteers and staff who built him this great new fort in his 2000 square foot Cat-A-Tat. The white patches of fur on his side were apparently from previous wounds that had white hair growth when they healed. His owner never returned for him. After making a formal inventory available to the courts and all interested parties, I had fulfilled my moral obligation to the children to allow them to evaluate the “estate”. I made several proposals to them to release to their control the trust assets Don and I had set aside for them in their Trust but this was now less than 1/7th of the entire estate and they decided it would be more profitable to try and convince the court that Don “died” intestate. I was hit with an IRS audit for 1995, the only year for which no records can be found, and again I am scrambling to re-construct a years worth of transactions totaling ½ million in income with only the sketchiest details to go on. Through out all of this I have pleaded with my Attorneys to resolve the following issues: 1. Anne McQueen is named as the owner of a life insurance policy on my husband in the amount of $1,250,000.00 and the beneficiaries are she and I as Trustee of the C & A Trust Agreement, which was never signed. The premiums are paid from our (Don & I) business account. I need a constructive trust approved by the court. 2. Anne has over 50,000.00 in tax certificates in her maiden name on our properties and these need to be assigned back to us, since we paid for them. 3. Anne has 500,000.00 in real estate held in her maiden name as Trustee and no trust documents protecting my husband and I as beneficiaries. Constructive Trusts should be devised or the properties transferred back to us in some way, since we paid for them. 4. The removal of all of the assets from the Conservatorship based upon the Power of Attorney and trust documents, except for the children’s trust, which I would not oppose being monitored by the court, via Doug Stalley, to insure that I would not waste their inheritance and perhaps more importantly so they couldn’t keep accusing me of doing so. 5. The return of the 80,000.00 that Anne Mc Queen has wrongfully diverted from the Conservatorship to her own Attorney’s bank account. We have filed Civil Theft charges already. 6. The denial of Attorney’s fees to Leroy Merkle and Clifford Opp as there is nothing they have done to benefit the estate of my husband and I would like to see them (the kids and Anne) pay the $28,000.00 this whole charade has set me back already just in fees to my lawyers. The children are unhappy that I wouldn’t just sign over 3,488,000.00 to them (they are entitled to around 900,000.00 in their trust) and they have said that they want to go back before the judge and have me removed as conservator and to eliminate the support to WildLife on Easy Street, which is $150,000.00 per year. That is about $30,000.00 less than the actual costs to run the place. We are a non profit 501 c 3 Organization and raise the difference from public support. When I got forceful with Jim Freeman, demanding that he do something, he quit. I know this has been a lengthy accounting, but I don’t want any misunderstandings. You know what I want and only you know if you are capable of achieving these goals. I expect a long hard fight and if Don
