In light of worst financial and real estate crises since Great Depression, unmarketable condition of both
properties, expediency of getting cash out, and time drain fairness to both beneficiaries, here is an
effective recommendation. If Ken is willing to receive distribution of either BH or CV property, whichever
property he chooses, the estate avoids having to file 3rd year 1041 and IT-205 for FYE 3/31/10,
final accounting can be done and Estate can be completely settled and closed by 2/15/2009. 2/15/2009 REJECTED
