With reference to that part OF
the question having to do with
inheritance or interest in family's
estate, the following is submitted
Commencing in 1908, my father
William F. Barrett. now deceased
began to acquire real estate in the
District of Columbia. taking title
in his own name. At the time OF
his death on March 6, 1916, the
land records of the District Of Co.
lumbia showed: that my father
died seized and possessed Of some
Isixty-four (64) pieces Of property
in his name. with the exception OF
eight 90 parcels which were held
in the joint names Of my father
and mother. Attached hereto 1,
photostat copy Of the list Of prop
critics prepared by my mother
prior to her death, the handwrit-
ling on the second page thereof
being her own. After my fathers
death, and in order to comply with
the law. an inheritance tax was
duly prepared and filed. The
properties were appraised for taz
purposes by competent real estate
men in the District Of Columbia
and submitted to the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue for its approval
The properties were appraised al
approximately s137 10000. After
negotiations with the proper Off.
Gals of the bureau this appraisa
was increased approximately
100000 and the taxes paid or
that adjustment.
My father died intestate. UpoY
his death the six children, includ.
ing myself. entered into an agree.
ment with my mother whereby
she would receive the gross income
from the entire estate so long a!
she lived and to that end an as.
signment of that estate unto hel
was prepared and duly executed
by all children. A copy Of the
assignment is hereto attached
Although we did not receive oul
distributive share, each child paic
his income tax on the assumption
that it was received and proper
returns made thereon.
Upon the death of my mother
which occurred on April 81, 1948
she having died intestate, title to
all of these properties. by opera
ton of law, vested in myself and
my five brothers and sisters
Numerous real estate houses have
collected the rents and managed
the properties, with the exception
Of one or two small ones for which
the rents were collected for a shor'
period of time in cash by my
younger sister, and an accounting
made to the rest of US. BY agree
ment of the family my older sis
ter, Marie E. Lanahan. and my
other sister, Margaret B. Ahearn
undertook by agreement the re.
sponsibility by making the repairs
paying taxes and doing all things
necessary for the conservation Of
the property, save and except the
collection of rents, after which
quarterly checks were drawn te
each of the children starting ap-
proximately December, 1913, tt
