After decedent returned to Pakistan, he attempted to obtain
a permanent resident visa. Robert Kutz (Kutz), who has been the
Khan family's attorney since 1954, wrote a letter dated September
26, 1975, to the U.S. Consul General in Lahore, Pakistan, "with
respect to the anticipated applications for permanent residency
visa to the United States of * * * [decedent] and his wife
Hussain Bibi." The stated purpose of the letter was to advise
the Consul General that decedent owned a substantial amount of
property in California and was capable of financially supporting
himself and his wife in the United States. The Immigration and
Naturalization Service, however, informed decedent that he would
not be granted a permanent resident visa until his son Aslam
became a U.S. citizen.
On November 15, 1976, the Fazal-Namat Ranch partnership was
formally dissolved. Although the partnership was formally
dissolved, not all of the property division was made at that
time.4
On November 15, 1976, decedent, Aslam, Ashiq, and decedent's
cousins, Chrag and Mohammed Ali, formed a partnership called
3(...continued)
student. It does not appear from the record that the change in
status was granted.
4 One of Fazal's nephews died shortly before the agreement
on the division of the partnership property had been reached,
leaving a widow and seven minor children. As a result of the
nephew's death, the division of partnership property had to be
approved by the guardianship court.
