Estate of Ona E. Hendrickson - Page 24




                                        - 24 -                                         
               At least $616,864 of the $891,266 net proceeds of the Land              
          Bank loan was used to pay the taxes and expenses of Garry's                  
          estate.  Therefore, at least 65 percent of the gross proceeds of             
          the Land Bank loan (or at least 69 percent of the net proceeds)              
          was used to pay expenses that were the children's expenses, not              
          decedent's expenses.                                                         
               The $274,402 remaining net proceeds of the Land Bank loan               
          was disbursed in four Land Bank checks.  Three of these checks               
          were payable solely to Donald Hendrickson; the fourth was payable            
          collectively to Donald Hendrickson and the other signatories of              
          the note.  These checks were then deposited into the Vera Lou                
          Klippel agent account, which was owned solely by the children.               
          The Land Bank's loan closing statement and supplemental                      
          disbursement report provide very general information about the               
          use of these funds--that the funds were used to pay "legal fees",            
          "operating", or (apparently) miscellaneous equipment expenses--              
          but provide no details of those expenses or state on whose behalf            
          the expenses were paid.                                                      
               Petitioner's estate tax return reported some of the Land                
          Bank stock, with a value of $12,980, as an asset of decedent's               
          estate.
