The decedent left a house and lot in Statesville, N. C., which is probably worth between Five and Six Thousand Dollars. The other two heirs of Charles R. Gaither have made a quitclaim deed to C. EB. Gaither, Sr., and, therefore, C. E. Gaither, Sr. is the owner of the entire interest in said house and lot, subject to any outstanding debts and liabilities of the estate. For a good many years prior to his death, Charles R. Gaither was incompetent, and C. E. Gaither, Sr. was his guardian appointed by the Clerk of Superior Court of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

Gaither, Sr., individually, has advanced the sum of Twelve Thousand Thirty-eight and 08/100 ($12,038.08) Dollars for the maintenance, assistance and support of his father, Charles R. Gaither, and that he has a claim of that amount against the estate in addition to the advancements that he has made to pay the funeral bill and other expenses since the death of Charles k. Gaither. There are two other claims for assistance to Charles RK. Gaither, and an attempt is being made to agree with these claimants in regard to the priority of said claimants and the claim of C. E. Gaither, Sr. in the amount of Twelve Thousand Thirty-eight and 08/100 ($12,038.08) Dollars. If an agreement is not reached as to the priority and the proper division to be made of any proceeds which may come from the sale of the house and lot, then an action will be com- menced to determine this priority.

Gaither was found bearing date of July 15, Since this will was dated almost two years after Charles R. Gaither had eclared incompetent, a petition, with said wil] attached, was filed with G. Smith, Clerk of Superior Court of Iredell County, setting forth the facts, and on April 27, 1955, C. G. Smith entered an Order finding that Charles R, Gaither died intestate, and finding that said paper writing had been executed i. Gaither had been declared incompetent, and that said paper writing could not be probated as the last will and testament of Charles R. Gaither, Thereupon, upon petition and application duly made, C. E. Gaither, Sr. was appointed Administrator of Charles R. Gaither, Intestate. During the life of Charles R. Gaither, C. E. Gaither, Sr, provided maintenance, support and other necessary things for him, and when he filed his Final Settlement as Guardian, he showed therein that the estate was owing to him in the sum of $12,038.08. 2.

E. Gaither, Sr., and the other debts and cost of administration in the estate, but there still remains unpaid on the claim of C. E. Gaither, Sr. $6,200.78; however, since C. E. Gaither, Sr. owns all of the property which was owned by Charles R. Gaither, and there is nothing further out of wiich he could receive payment, he does not make any claim for the balance due him, and makes charge for commissions as Administrator. 5, Notice to Creditors was duly published in the Statesville Record once 2 week for six consecutive weeks, commencing with the issue or May 14, 1955.
