[brief] [...] and I verified that we were ready to enter a Surrogate filed, Settlement w/[...] where we would accept his informal accounting in compliance w/NJ 4:87-3, w/o any exceptions.  [...] engaged [...] & [...] around Nov. 2021 before my involvement in these matters.  I repeatedly made this clear to [...] after I first found out in Jan. 2022 about the request for [...] to resign as Co-Trustee.  They repeatedly rejected our efforts by repeating irrational claim that they could not trust me, even after Ambrose & I repeatedly indicated that my interests, as Remainder Beneficiary, was to avoid unnecessary litigation, that would deplete Trust assets, based on Settlement for no exceptions to an informal accounting.  It meant there would be NO questions about whether there would be NO unresolved exceptions, which can arise due to less rigorous informal, instead of formal accounting.  I verified Jacobson repeatedly told me he did not believe Ambrose, [...], & I could reach provisions for a 3-way Settlement, but that if we could reach such Settlement, that he & [...] would work with us to finalize such Settlement.  I verified that when Ambrose & I emailed Jacobson that Ambrose, [...], & I agreed on Apr. 25, ‘22 provisions of 3-Way Settlement, which would require acceptance, w/o exceptions, of an informal accounting in compliance w/4:87-3, [...] inexplicably responded they would not work on a Settlement.  [...] & I verified that we requested [...] to postpone filing Verified Complaint w/formal accounting for Surrogate/Court acceptance, so that we could quickly reach a Settlement w/acceptance of Trust accounting w/o further litigation.  We verified that they ignored our requests & made their filing.  [...] & I verified that we confirmed to Jacobson there was no reason why I would not honor, as [...] and [...] claimed I would not, the April 25th Settlement since it would be financially beneficial to me by allowing me access, as a Remainder Beneficiary, to [...]’ Trust and its income, since she would renounce her beneficiary status.  I verified that I also responded to [...] with resolutions to his 5 exceptions to the April 25th Settlement.  I verified I regularly emailed [...], who ignored my requests, thru Sept. 2022 to have [...] accept finalizing a 3-Way Settlement to avoid continuing litigation and expected exceptions to Verified Complaint and Trust Accounting, that would NOT have occurred if there was 3-Way Settlement.  See (Exh. “P”, App. Exh. “J”, p. 1, 1st two par., & p. 6; App. Exh. “K”, p. 1, 1st two par., & p. 4; App. Exh. “L”, p. 1, last two par. to p. 2, 1st three par., & p. 3) (Exh. “V”, App. Exh. “D”, “E”, & “F”) (208a) (213a) (215a) (218a) (220a-222a) (324a-344a).  So, the history of this Case was very clear that [...] & I made every effort to address and resolve all concerns by Roth & Jacobson for honoring a 3-Way Settlement based on acceptance of an informal accounting in compliance with 4:87-3 with the exact same level of details of a Court filed formal accounting vs. a long litigious process with expected exceptions to [...]’s formal Intermediate Accounting and Court filed, Verified Complaint.  There was no justified basis for Court to conclude that a Settlement could not have been reached that did not allow exceptions to an informal accounting based on 4:87-3, while addressing any concerns of [...] and [...].
