A., Clearwater, FL. C. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT On 05/23/2019, we checked the public records of Palm Beach County, FL, and did not find that a Last Will and Testament belonging to the Decedent had been deposited with the Clerk of the Court. Because we found that attorney Claudia Duffey had represented the Decedent in his capacity as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Gilda M. LaVoie, Deceased, Palm Beach County Case No. 50-1999-CP-002979-FOIY-SB, and the Estate of Judith LaVoie, Deceased, Palm Beach County Case No. 50-1999-CP-004054-FOIY-SB, we attempted to locate Ms. Claudia Duffey. We discovered that Claudia Duffey died on 03/06/2010. We contacted the Florida Bar's legal division (850) 561-5839 and spoke with Elisa who searched their records and told us that they had no inventory attorney listed in their system for Claudia Duffey, Deceased. We determined that attorney Claudia Duffey, Deceased, has a brother named Brian K. Duffey who is an attorney in Boca Raton, FL. We spoke twice with Heather in Brian K. Duffey's law office (561) 862-4176 and she told us that Mr. Duffey did not assume any of Claudia Duffey's files after her death. She told us that Mr. Duffey had told her that Claudia Duffey had an agreement with an attorney named E. J. Kunmann regarding her files and she provided us with his phone number. We called the Kunmann & Kunmann, P.A. office (561) 391-3700 and spoke with a male associate who confirmed that Mr. Kunmann did assume some of Claudia Duffey's files when she died. He told us that they would research their files for a possible Last Will and Testament of Richard Peter Lavoie and would call us back. In a subsequent call, we spoke with a paralegal named Terry who told us that they had searched the original files they had obtained from attorney Claudia Duffey and did not find a file or a Last Will and Testament for our Decedent. We interviewed Patricia Marie Casey who told us that she is the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed and the child of the Decedent's predeceased maternal first cousin, William F. Casey. She told us that she did not know whether or not the Decedent had a Last Will and Testament. We reviewed the attached Petition for Administration filed by the Decedent's maternal first cousin, Peter Edward Carbone, and in Paragraph 8 thereof he states that "[a]fter the exercise of reasonable diligence, petitioner is unaware of any valid unrevoked wills or codicils of decedent." We have not been able to interview anyone who could definitively tell us that the Decedent did not have a Last Will and Testament. Although we have found no evidence that the Decedent died testate, we cannot rule out that possibility. Note: If the Decedent died without a Will that fectively disposed of the Decedent's interest in the subject property, then the laws o f intestate succession apply (for Florida residents see Florida Statute 732.102 and 732.103). In that case, please see the above list of the Decedents heirs at law to determine how the Decedent's interest in the subject property descended. ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. D. PROBATE 1. COUNTY: 2. CASE NO.: 3. PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE: Palm Beach County, FL 50-2019-CP-002299-MB The Court has not yet appointed a Personal Representative. However, Peter Edward Carbone has asked the Court to be appointed Personal Representative and his address is 275 Cedar St., Hopkinton, MA 01748. 4. A'1'1 ORNEY: Andrea C. D'Addario, Esq., 13860 Wellington Trace, Suite 38-213, Wellington, FL 33414; (561) 362-2366 5. ORDER ESTABLISHING HOMESTEAD AND DETERMINING HEIRS? No. 6. IF NO ORDER DE1ERMINING HOMES 1'EAD, HAVE ANY CLAIMS OR CAVEATS BEEN FILED WITH THE ESTATE? No. Please see the attached copy of the probate file and case docket which we obtained for your review. Please note that the attached Petition for Administration filed by the Decedent's maternal first cousin, Peter Edward Carbone, only identifies four of the Decedent's 10 heirs at law. However, attorney Andrea C. D'Addario told us on 05/23/2019 that she is preparing to file an Amended Petition for Administration in the near future to add additional heirs at law. 8 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. E. SOURCE INFORMATION We obtained and reviewed a copy of the Decedent's Florida Certification of Death which states that he died never married, that the names of his parents are George F. Lavoie and Gilda M. Carbone (maiden surname), that he was born in Framingham, MA, and that the informant was Peter Edward Carbone who identified his relationship to the Decedent as that of cousin. We reviewed a copy of the Florida Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased father, George F. La Voie, which your office provided to us for research purposes. The death certificate states that George F. La Voie died married to Gilda Carbone (maiden surname), that he resided at 2775 Avenue Au Soleil, Gulf Stream, FL 33444, that the names of his parents are Thomas La Voie and Annette Blanchatte (sic), that he was born in Massachusetts, and that the informant was Judith A. LaVoie whose relationship to George F. La Voie is not provided. The death certificate states that George F. La Voie was interred at Southboro (sic) Rural Cemetery in Southboro (sic), MA. We obtained and reviewed a copy of the Florida Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased mother, Gilda M. LaVoie, which states that she died widowed, that she resided at 2775 Avenue Au Soleil, Gulf Stream, FL 33483, that the names of her parents are Caesare Carbone and Anna Marcontini (maiden surname), that she was born in Italy, and that the informant was Judith A. LaVoie also of 2775 Avenue Au Soleil, Gulf Stream, FL 33483. The death certificate states that Gilda M. LaVoie was interred at Rural Cemetery in Southborough, MA.

We obtained and reviewed a copy of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased paternal grandfather, Fortunat Thomas Lavoie, which states that he died widowed from Annette Blanchette, that he was born in Canada, and that the informant was George Lavoie (the Decedent's father). The death certificate states that Fortunat Thomas Lavoie was interred at Rural Cemetery in Southboro (sic), MA. We obtained and reviewed a copy of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased paternal grandmother, Annette M. LaVoie (Blanchette) which states that she died married to Thomas F. LaVoie, that she was born in Canada, and that the informant was Mrs. Gilda LaVoie (the Decedent's mother). The death certificate states that Annette M. LaVoie was interred at St. Stephens Cemetery in Framingham, MA. We obtained a copy of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased maternal grandfather, Cesare Carbone, which states that he died married to Anna Marcontini (sic) (maiden surname), that he was born in Italy, and that the informant was Edward Carbone who identified his relationship to Cesare Carbone as that of son. The death certificate states that Cesare Carbone was interred at Rural Cemetery in Southboro (sic), MA. We obtained a copy of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's predeceased maternal grandmother, Anna Carbone, which states that she died widowed from Cesare Carbone, that she was born in Italy, that the names of her parents were "CNBL" (could ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. not be learned), and that the informant was Edward Carbone. The death certificate states that she was interred at Rural Cemetery in Southboro (sic), MA. Your office had informed us that attorney John Burke (508) 735-6065 in Massachusetts represents the Decedent's maternal first cousin, Peter Carbone, Jr. We called and spoke with Mr. Burke who declined to provide us with any information until we had first sent him a letter of introduction via email setting forth the information we were requesting from him and his client and the purpose for our heir search. We complied with Mr. Burke's request but have not received any response from him to date. We found an obituary for the Decedent's mother, Gilda M. Carbone LaVoie, published in the Palm Beach Post on 06/14/1998 which states that she was the wife of the late George F. LaVoie who died in 1984 and that she was born in Italy to her parents, Caesare Carbone and Anna Carbone. The obituary states that she was survived by her daughter, Judith A. LaVoie; her son, Richard P. LaVoie (our Decedent), of Framingham, MA; one brother, Peter Carbone of Hopkinton, MA; and many nieces and nephews. We found a Petition for Naturalization for the Decedent's maternal grandmother, Anne Carbone, which states that she was born on 09/28/1879 in Sangustancen, Italy, that she was married to Cesare Carbone on 08/07/1906 in Sangustancen, Italy, and that they entered the United States together in 1902 for permanent residence. The Petition states that she had four children being: 1. Edward, DOB 05/29/1907, of Southboro (sic), MA 2. Ada, DOB 12/21/1908, of Hopkinton, MA 3. Guilda (our Decedent's mother), DOB 04/16/1912, of Sangustancen, Italy 4. Peter P., DOB 03/12/1915, of Southboro (sic), MA We obtained and reviewed The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's maternal uncle, Edward P. Carbone, which states that he died married to Alice Langilier (maiden surname), that the names of his parents are Ceaser (sic) Carbone and Anna Marcontonini (maiden surname), and that the informant was Alice Carbone who identified her relationship to Edward P. Carbone as that of wife. We found and reviewed a copy of the register of the Births Registered in the Town of Southborough (MA) in 1907 which documents that Edward Peter Caesar Carboni (sic) was born on 05/29/1907 to Caesar Carboni (sic) and Annetia Marcontognini (maiden surname). According to the register, both parents were born in San Costanzo, Italy. We did not find an obituary for the Decedent's maternal uncle, Edward P. Carbone, Deceased. We obtained and reviewed The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's maternal uncle, Peter E. Carbone, Sr., which states that he died widowed from Mary Purcell (maiden surname), that the names of his parents are Cesare Carbone and Anna Marcontinini, and that the informant was Peter E. Carbone, Jr. who identified his relationship to Peter E. Carbone, Sr. as that of son. The death certificate states that he was interred in the Rural Cemetery in Southborough, MA. We found an obituary for the Decedent's predeceased maternal uncle, Peter E. Carbone, Sr., published in the Worcester (MA) Telegram & Gazette on 05/05/2001 which states that he was the 10 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. son of Cesare Cabone and Anna Marcontinini Carbone and that he was predeceased by his wife, Mary (Purcell) Carbone, a brother, and two sisters. The obituary states that Peter E. Carbone, Sr. was survived by a son, Peter E. Carbone, Jr., and a daughter, Mary Ann Lorentzen, both of Hopkinton, MA. We obtained and reviewed The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Certificate of Death for the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney, which states that she died widowed from Henry Kenney, that the names of her parents are Caesar Carbone and Annetia Marcontinini who were both born in Italy, and that the informant was William F. Casey of Hopedale, MA, who identified his relationship to Ada M. Kenney as that of son. The death certificate states that she was interred in the Rural Cemetery in Southboro (sic), MA. We did not find an obituary for the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney, Deceased. We searched for a database report for Ada M. Kenney's son, William F. Casey, who is the Decedent's maternal first cousin but discovered that he had predeceased on 05/18/2009 in Worcester, MA. We found a Social Security Death Index record for William F. Casey which provided us with a date of birth and a date of death but we did not find an obituary for him. We located a Find A Grave Memorial record #146294701 created on 05/10/2015 by "LMR". The record states that William F. Casey, Jr. was born on 10/03/1927 to William F. and Ada (Carbone) Casey. It states that he was the widower of Eileen "Daisy" (McCarthy) Casey who died in 09/2007. The record also states that William F. Casey, Jr. died on 05/18/2009 in Worcester County, MA and was interred in the Hopedale Village Cemetery in Hopedale, Worcester County, MA. We found a Social Security Death Index record for him that provided the same dates of birth and death as the Find A Grave Memorial record. We found an obituary for Eileen T. Casey, published in The Milford (MA) Daily News on 09/17/2007, which states that she was survived by her husband of 52 years, William F. Casey, and by a daughter, Patricia M. Casey of Carlsbad, CA, among other relatives. We located and interviewed Patricia Marie Casey who told us that she is the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, the child of the Decedent's maternal first cousin, William F. Casey, Deceased, and the granddaughter of the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney f/k/a Ada M. Casey f/k/a Ada M. Carbone, Deceased. She told us that she did not know that the Decedent had died. She told us that she had visited the Decedent's parents, George and Gilda LaVoie, at their home in Gulf Stream, FL, many times. She told us that the Decedent died never having married, had no children, was predeceased by both of his parents, had one sibling who predeceased having had no children, was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, and had two maternal uncles and one maternal aunt all of whom predeceased having had six children between them. Of those six maternal first cousins, she said that two predeceased having had six children between them (the Decedent's maternal first cousins once removed) one of whom had also predeceased. She told us that the Decedent's father, George Lavoie, died first followed by the Decedent's mother, Gilda LaVoie, and then the Decedent's sister, Judith LaVoie. She told us that Judith LaVoie had no children and died of complications with multiple sclerosis. Patricia Marie Casey provided us with the following information about the Decedent's maternal uncles and aunt and their descendants: 1. Edward P. Carbone, Deceased - He died not having had any children. 2. Ada M. Kenney, Deceased - She died having had four children with three being with her first husband (William Casey) and one being with her second husband (Henry Kenney). She provided us with the following information about Ada M. Kenney's children: 11 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. a. William F. Casey, Jr., Deceased - He died having had the one child listed below: 1) Patricia Marie Casey - She verified her own current residential address. b. James Edward Casey, Sr., Deceased - He died having had the five children listed below: 1) Dorothy Nardini - She resides on Cape Cod, MA. 2) James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased - He died in Florida having had no children. (Note: We later were told that he had one child named Beau James Taylor.) 3) William F. Casey 4) Michael S. Casey, Sr. 5) Maureen Casey - She resides in Florida. c. Mary Clark - She said Mary Clark has a home in New Hampshire and another one in Florida. d. Margaret "Peggy" Cox - She said that Peggy Cox resides in the Chicago, IL area, that she calls her every week, and that she would ask her to contact our office. 3. Peter E. Carbone, Sr., Deceased - He died having had the two children listed below: a. Peter E. Carbone, Jr. - She verified his current residential address. b. Mary Ann Lorentzen - She verified her current residential address. We attempted to locate the Decedent's maternal first cousin, Margaret "Peggy" Cox. However, because of the commonality of her last name and the lack of a specific city of residence, we were unable to do so at that time without more identifying information. We called Patricia Marie Casey a few days later to see if she had been able to contact Margaret "Peggy" Cox on our behalf. She told us that Margaret Cox did not want to get involved, that Margaret Cox told her there is "a huge lien" on the subject property, and that family members are afraid they will be held personally responsible for the lien. "People are going to start to shut their door on you because they don't want to be paying for someone else's debts," she said. We called the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, Dorothy A. Nardini, leaving a message but did not receive any response. We called the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, William F. Casey, leaving a message at a confirmed phone number but did not receive any response. We called the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, Michael S. Casey, Sr., leaving a message but did not receive any response. We called a phone number associated with the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, Maureen Casey, and a man who answered told us that Maureen Casey was not there at the moment. We provided him with our contact information. We have not received any response from Maureen Casey. 12 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. We found a 1910 U.S. Federal Census record for the Decedent's paternal grandparents documenting that Fortunat Lavoie (then age 23) and his wife, Annett (sic) Lavoie (then age 25) were residing in Fall River, MA with their son, Fortunat (then age 2) who is our Decedent's father. No other children were reported in the family. The Census record states that one child had been born to Annett (sic) Lavoie and that one child was alive. We found a World War I Draft Registration card for the Decedent's paternal grandfather, Fortunat Lavoie. The card dated 06/05/1917 states that Fortunat Lavoie was residing in Fall River, MA with his "wife and child." We found a 1920 U.S. Federal Census record for the Decedent's paternal grandparents documenting that Fortunat Lavoie (then age 33) and Annette Lavoie (then age 37) were residing in Fall River, MA with their son, Fortunat (then age 12). No other children were reported in the family. We found a 1930 U.S. Federal Census record for the Decedent's paternal grandparents documenting that Thomas F. Lavoie (then age 45) and Annette M.L. Lavoie (then age 49) were residing in Bay City, MI with their son, George F. Lavoie (then age 22). No other children were reported in the family. We called the Southborough Rural Cemetery located in Southborough, Worcester County, MA (508) 485-1618 and spoke with Bridget, the town's cemetery agent. She confirmed that the Decedent's paternal grandparents, Fortunat Lavoie and Annette Lavoie, are buried in the same family plot as the Decedent's parents, George Lavoie and Gilda LaVoie. She told us that the Decedent's sister, Judith LaVoie, and the Decedent himself are also buried in the Lavoie family plot. She told us that no other family members are buried in the Lavoie family plot besides these six family members. We were unable to find any documentary evidence to suggest that the Decedent had any paternal uncles or aunts which corroborates the statement later received from the Decedent's maternal first cousin Mary A. Clark that the Decedent's father was an only child. On 05/14/2019, we updated our probate search in Palm Beach County, FL and discovered that an estate had been opened on 05/09/2019. We obtained a copy of the probate file and reviewed the Petition of Administration in which the Petitioner, Peter Edward Carbone, alleges that the Decedent had four heirs at law named Peter Edward Carbone, Maryann Lorentzen, Margaret Cox, and Mary Clark who are all identified as cousins. The Petition also states that " [a]fter the exercise of reasonable diligence, petitioner is unaware of any valid unrevoked wills or codicils of decedent." We interviewed Mary A. Clark who told us that she is the Decedent's maternal first cousin and the child of the Decedent's predeceased maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney. She told us that the Decedent died never having married, had no children, was predeceased by both of his parents, and had one sibling who predeceased having had no children. Mary A. Clark told us that the names of the Decedent's predeceased parents are George Lavoie and Gilda LaVoie f/k/a Gilda Carbone. She told us that the name of the Decedent's predeceased sister is Judith LaVoie who she said never married and had no children. She told us that the Decedent's father was an only child and, therefore, the Decedent had no paternal uncles or aunts. Mary A. Clark told us that the Decedent was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Cesare Carbone and Anna Carbone. She provided us with the following information about the Decedent's maternal uncles and aunts: 13 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. 1. Edward P. Carbone, Deceased - He died not having had any children. 2. Ada M. Kenney, Deceased - She died having had the four children listed below: a. William F.

Nardini 2) James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased - She told us that James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased may have had a child out of wedlock. "He never really admitted to it, but when he died the child came out of the woodwork," she said. She told us that the name of this possible child is Beau (last name unknown), that he is now an adult, and that she did not know the name of the child's birth mother. She told us that she believes the child currently resides somewhere in Massachusetts. 3) William F. Casey 4) Michael S. Casey, Sr. 5) Maureen Casey c. Mary A. Clark - She verified both her winter residential address in Florida and her summer residential address in New Hampshire. d. Margaret "Peggy" Cox 3. Peter E. Carbone, Sr., Deceased - He died having had the two children listed below: a. Peter E. Carbone, Jr. - She verified his current residential address. b. Mary Ann Lorentzen - She verified her current residential address. We found a Florida death record for the Decedent's predeceased maternal first cousin, James Edward Casey a/k/a James Edward Casey, Sr., which provided us with a date of birth and a date of death. We found an obituary for James Edward Casey published in the Charlotte Sun (Port Charlotte, FL) on 03/03/2017 which states that he was born on 12/12/1928 to William F. Casey and Ada Kenney and was married 63 years to his wife, Elizabeth. The obituary states that he was survived by his two daughters, Dorothy Nardini and Maureen Casey, and his two sons, William Casey and Michael Casey. It states that he was predeceased by his son, James Casey, in 2012. We found a Massachusetts death record for the Decedent's predeceased maternal first cousin once removed, James E. Casey, which provided us with a date of birth and a date of death. We reviewed a database report we had obtained for the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased, as we prepared to search for James E. Casey, Jr.'s possible son named Beau. We did not see anyone on his database report with the name of Beau. However, 14 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. we noted that James E. Casey, Jr. had owned a business called Jim's Auto Repair and Sales in Marlborough, MA. We called a possible associate named Alan E. Dion (508) 259-4437, leaving a message, but did not receive any response. We reviewed database reports for James E. Casey, Jr.'s siblings Dorothy A. Nardini, William F. Casey, Michael S. Casey, Sr., and Maureen Casey looking for ex -spouses or possible associates who would be willing to speak with us about James E. Casey's possible child named Beau. In Michael S. Casey, Sr.'s database report, we noted that he had transferred the title of a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt on 10/25/2013 to an individual named Beau J. Taylor whose date of birth was listed as 05/1988. We reviewed the chain of title for the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt and found that it had originally belonged to the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, James E. Casey, Jr., who had died on 06/20/2012. We obtained a database report for Beau J. Taylor and called the numbers listed leaving messages on two different phone numbers on two different occasions. However, we did not receive any response. We also attempted to contact Linda Lee Taylor whom we believe is Beau J. Taylor's mother but did not find any good phone numbers for her. We then interviewed Marilyn Ellen Casey (774) 287-2453 who told us that she is the former spouse of the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, Michael S. Casey, Sr., and that they had been married for 22 years. She told us that the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney f/k/a Ada M. Casey, predeceased having had four children including her former spouse's father, James Edward Casey, Sr. She told us that James Edward Casey, Sr. died having had five children and provided us with the following information about them: 1. Dorothy Nardini - She told us that she resides in Bourne, MA. 2. James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased - Marilyn Ellen Casey told us that James E. Casey, Jr. died having had one child out of wedlock, a son named Beau. She told us that she did not know Beau's last name. However, she said that when they probated James E. Casey, Jr.'s Estate, the family agreed to transfer title of a car that James E. Casey, Jr. had owned to his son, Beau. She told us that James E. Casey's girlfriend got pregnant years earlier and brought the baby to meet his father when he was about a year old. She said that James E. Casey, Jr. did not believe at that time that the child was his own and did not provide any child support that she is aware of. She said that when Beau turned 19 (circa 2007), Beau's mother contacted James E. Casey, Jr. and told him that his son wanted to meet him. Marilyn Ellen Casey told us that it was at this point that James E. Casey, Jr. accepted Beau as his natural born son. "Oh, he absolutely acknowledged it," she said. "I don't think there was ever a DNA test, but he looks just like Jimmy and he (James E. Casey, Jr.) accepted him (Beau) into his life." She told us that Beau even worked for James E. Casey, Jr. in his automotive shop for a couple years and that Beau came to several family functions. 3. William F. Casey - She said the last she knew, William F. Casey was residing in Ashland, MA. 4. Michael S. Casey, Sr. - She said her ex-husband now resides in Rhode Island with his new wife, Rita. 5. Maureen Casey - She said she resides in Punta Gorda, FL. ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. We called the Norfolk County, MA Probate Court (781) 830-1200, Ext. 6 and spoke to Lisa Vilk who confirmed that an estate was opened for James E. Casey, Jr. in 2012, Case No. 12-P-2014. She later emailed us selected documents from the probate file including the Petition for Formal Probate of A Will. In that Petition filed by James E. Casey, Jr.'s sister, Dorothy Nardini, she alleged in Paragraph 4.C. that James E. Casey, Jr. was survived by a child or children and in Paragraph 5 she listed one child being Beau James Taylor of 43 Eames St., Framingham, MA 01702 and described him as "Son — Purported." The documents received also included a Decree and Order for Complete Settlement entered on 03/07/2016 in which the Court found, among other things, that "the Decedent's heirs are determined to be as stated in the Petition filed August 14, 2012." In that Order, the Court also decreed and ordered that "The Decedent's heirs are as determined above." We located and interviewed Karen Jean Casey (978) 833-0069 who told us that she is the former spouse of the Decedent's maternal first cousin once removed, William F. Casey. She told us that she had been married to William F. Casey for 12 years (from 1988 to circa 2000) and that they have one child together. She told us that William F. Casey's father, James Edward Casey, Sr., Deceased, and his surviving spouse, Elizabeth Ann Casey, had five children together named Dorothy Nardini, James E. Casey, Jr., William F. Casey, Michael S. Casey, Sr., and Maureen Casey. She verified the current residential address for her ex-husband, William F. Casey, in Uxbridge, MA. She told us that Elizabeth Ann Casey is still alive and resides in Florida. When we asked her about her former brother-in-law, James E. Casey, Jr., she initially told us that he died never having married and had no children. We then asked her if she knew anything about James E. Casey, Jr. having a child out of wedlock. Karen Jean Casey told us that she did recall at that point that James E. Casey, Jr. had "a son that he wasn't aware of until later in life." Karen Jean Casey said she did not know the name of the son or how to contact him. (Note: Beau James Taylor did not attempt to contact his father, James E. Casey, Jr., until around 2007 or about seven years after William F. Casey and Karen Jean Casey had divorced.) We made an additional attempt to contact Beau James Taylor and his probable mother, Linda Lee Taylor, leaving messages. However, we still did not receive any response. We called a number associated with a Priscilla Taylor, who we believe is the mother of Linda Lee Taylor, but had to leave a voicemail message. We have not received any response from her to date. We interviewed Elizabeth Ann Casey who is 87 years old and she told us that she is the surviving spouse of the Decedent's maternal first cousin, James Edward Casey, Sr. She told us that the Decedent died never having married and had no children. She told us that he was predeceased by both of his parents, George Lavoie and Gilda Lavoie. She told us that he was predeceased by one sibling, Judith Lavoie, who died having had no children. She told us that the names of the Decedent's maternal grandparents are Cesare Carbone and Anna Carbone. She told us that Cesare Carbone and Anna Carbone had four children being Edward Carbone, Ada Kenney, Gilda Lavoie (the Decedent's mother), and Peter Carbone, Sr., all of whom are deceased. She told us that Edward Carbone died having had no children. She told us that Peter Carbone, Sr. died having had two children named Peter Carbone, Jr. and Mary Ann Lorentzen. Elizabeth Ann Casey provided us with the following information about the lineal descendants of the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney: 1. William Casey, Deceased - He predeceased having had one child named Patricia Casey. 2. James Edward Casey, Sr., Deceased - She said that her husband, James Edward Casey, Sr., had the following five children: 16 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. a. Dorothy Nardini - She verified her current residential address. b. James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased — She said that he died having had one child named Beau Taylor. She told us that she did not believe a paternity test was ever done but she said that James E. Casey, Jr. acknowledged Beau Taylor as being his own child. 1) Beau Taylor - She verified that Beau Taylor resides with his mother, Linda Lee Taylor, and confirmed their current residential address. c. William F. Casey - She verified his current residential address. d. Michael S. Casey, Sr. - She verified his current residential address. e. Maureen Casey - She verified her current residential address. 3. Mary Clark - She told us that Mary Clark would be the best person to interview concerning the Decedent's paternal heirs. 4. Margaret Cox Although we were unable to interview the Decedent's maternal first cousin, Margaret A. Cox, we searched the McHenry County, IL property tax inquiry website. According to that website, Margaret A. Cox owns the property located at 8 Cumberland Court, Cary, IL 60013 and claims both an owner occupied and senior homestead exemption on the property. The attached Declination to Act and Consent to Appointment of Personal Representative signed by Margaret Cox filed in the pending estate proceeding lists her address as being 8 Cumberland Court, Cary, IL 60013. We have provided you with this address for Margaret A. Cox in Section B above. On 05/23/2019, we spoke with attorney Andrea D'Addario who represents the Petitioner, Peter E. Carbone, Jr., in the pending Estate proceeding. We told her that we were closing our file in the next day and were contacting her for two reasons. First, as a professional courtesy, we wanted her to be aware that although the Petition for Administration said that the Decedent had 4 Heirs at Law, we had found additional heirs. Second, we wanted to ask for her permission to interview Peter E. Carbone, Jr. Ms. D'Addario told us that she was preparing to file an Amended Petition for Administration to add additional heirs at law and that she wanted to compare her list of heirs with the results of our research. We told her that we had not found any paternal kindred and that we had found 10 maternal kindred who were the Decedent's heirs at law. She asked us to read the list of the maternal heirs and when we identified James Edward Casey, Sr., Deceased as the second child of the Decedent's maternal aunt, Ada M. Kenney, Deceased, we asked her how many children he had. She said that she had been told that James Edward Casey, Sr.'s children were Mike, Dorothy, William, and Maureen (Note: none of them were included in the Petition for Administration). We responded that those names were all children of James Edward Casey, Sr. but that there was also a fifth child named James E. Casey, Jr. and she said that he was deceased. We said that we had found credible evidence that James E. Casey, Jr., Deceased, had one child named Beau James Taylor. She said that she had not included Beau James Taylor as an heir due to a lack of proof of paternity. We explained that we obtained the Petition for Administration filed by Dorothy A. Nardini in the Massachusetts Estate of James Edward Casey, Jr., Deceased, in which she identified Beau James Taylor as his purported son. We said that we also had a credible interview with a person who told us that James Edward Casey, Jr. had acknowledged late in life that Beau James Taylor was his son. 17 ©2019 Dvornik Law Group, P. A., Clearwater, FL. Ms. D'Addario told us that she was going out of town that day and that when she returned on 05/28/2019 she would contact Peter E. Carbone, Jr. whom she said is represented by an attorney as to the subject property to see if he would be willing to be interviewed. We said that we would be closing our file by 05/24/2019 but that if her client was willing to be interviewed and if the Town of Gulf Stream was willing to authorize additional fees, we would be glad to reopen our file and interview her client. NOTE: The information in this Report was obtained primarily through telephonic interviews with the persons listed in Section E who either represented themselves to be related to the Decedent or to otherwise have personal knowledge about the identities and addresses of the Decedent's heirs or beneficiaries. Absent a court order, we are not able to obtain copies of birth certificates to verify the purported relationships. This Report was created for the sole purpose of assistingyour office and the Town of Gulf Stream in determining the identities and current addresses of the Decedents heirs at law and any beneficiaries under the Decedent's Last Will and Testament or Trust, if any, who have an interest in the real property referenced above that is subject to the Town's lien interest. Therefore, this Report is protected by the attorney -client privilege and should not be disclosed to third parties or filed in any court of law. If a Guardian Ad Litem requests a copy of this Report from you, instead of providing this Report which might waive the attorney- clientprivilege you might consider giving the GAL the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the heirs and beneficiaries you have added as party defendants This Report contains confidential information (e.g., DOB) that must be protected.
