$6,714 to Funny Hats in 2000, and (4) Funny Hats in 1995 and 2000
received from unspecified sources the proceeds of loans of $450
and $7,933, respectively.
Decedent, when she was not a partner in Funny Hats, wrote on
her personal bank account eight checks that were payable to Funny
Hats and that she then endorsed and deposited into the checking
account of Funny Hats. Six of those checks were for rent.
5. The Lease Agreements
Curto and his firm also prepared annual lease agreements
(collectively, lease agreements) under which Funny Hats rented
the residence to decedent for each year from January 1, 1994,
through December 31, 2000. Curto and his firm represented both
decedent and Funny Hats in preparing these agreements and other
documents. Curto had recommended to the parties to the lease
agreements that the agreements be in writing, and the parties
followed that advice. The lease agreements were all signed by
Linda Labet, in her capacity as a partner of the landlord Funny
Hats, and by decedent in her individual capacity as tenant. None
of the lease agreements states the date on which it was signed by
either of those individuals, and none of the lease agreements
bears the signature of a witness to those individuals’
signatures.
Curto’s firm prepared each of the lease agreements on the
the same form document that applies to house leases in general.
