IN RE VALENTINA SPASSOVA SHESHTAWY, Relator

RELATOR'S       PETITION     FOR      WRIT   OF    PROHIBITION/      WRIT     OF
MANDAMUS

                               INTRODUCTION

Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, submits this petition for Writ of
Prohibition / Writ of Mandamus, complaining of the Honorable Loyd Wright,
presiding Judge of the Probate Court One (1) of Harris County, Texas. For clarity,
Relator is referred to as Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy.

Respondent, the Honorable Loyd Wright, is referred to by name; and the real party
in interest is referred to as Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, and her children Lily
Alexandra Sheshtawy and Nikolay Tassev.

Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, submits this Petition for Writ of
Prohibition/Writ of Mandamus, pending the court disposition of an appeal on the
merits, Cause No. 14-14-00515-CV.

                        STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, files this Writ of Prohibition, to prevent
Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright, sitting in Probate Court One (1) of
Harris County, Texas, from approving any agreements or orders related to the
property located at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041, or alternatively
Writ of Mandamus due to the limited time. The property at 12206 Cabo Blanco
Ct., Houston, Texas 77041, is the subject of the appeal Cause No. 14-14-00515-CV
which is scheduled for review on Thursday, March 12, 2015, by the Fourteenth
Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas.
The underlying procedures are In the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased, Cause
No 407-499 which has seven sub-docketed cases, and specifically 407,499-406
which is the subject of the appeal; Cause No. 14-14-00515-CV, seeking permanent
injunction prohibiting the sale or attempted sale of homestead property located at
12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041, and the related case, styled In the
Estate of Lily Sheshtawy, a Minor, Cause No. 425,238 in Probate Court One (1) of
Harris County, Texas.

On March 12, 2015 at 10:00 am, a hearing is scheduled on the Application for
Authorityfor Guardian to Enter into Settlement (a.k.a. - Distribution) Agreement
Regarding the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, filed by Mr. Cameron McCulloch, as
Guardian of Estate of Lily Sheshtawy, the minor child of Valentina Spassova
Sheshtawy and Adel Sheshtawy in Probate Court One (1) of Harris County, Texas.
Mr. McCulloch is seeking the probate court's approval to sign a settlement
agreement which is unjust to Lily Sheshtawy. The settlement agreement would
deprive Lily of her preserved portion of her father's Estate as of the date of his
death on August 8, 2011. The settlement agreement limits her share of the estate to
the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct. which is a homestead property and as such
should not be subject to administration. The property was improperly included in
the Estate.

The Respondent has already approved two settlement agreements under Cause No.
407,499-401 and 407,499-402 which are detrimental to Lily, based on
representations of Mr. McCulloch in his capacity as Attorney Ad Litem that the
settlement agreements were in her best interest. The Honorable Judge Loyd Wright
did not appoint a Guardian ad Litem to review those settlements from the
perspective of the minor. Lily's mother, Valentina Sheshtawy, was not informed
about her or her daughter's constitutionally protected homestead rights by either
Mr. McCulloch, as Attorney Ad Litem, or by her former attorney Donald Worley.

The Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright approved the Preliminary
Inventory, Appraisement and List of Claims presented to him by Mr. Michael
Fuqua, Temporary Administrator of the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy without an
appraisement on or about March 7, 2012 (See EXHIBIT 1 in appendix). On
December 10, 2013, the Respondent appointed Nader Sheshtawy and Hanya
Sustache, Dependent Co-Administrators and ordered "that there is no need for
appointment of appraisers of this estate". (See page 2 in EXHIBIT 2 in appendix).
The Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy is seeking Writ of Prohibition, or
alternatively, Writ of Mandamus because the Respondent might engage himself in
signing orders related to the property on appeal, in the Probate Court One (1)
where he is presiding, on or after the hearing on March 12, 2015 scheduled at
10:00 am.

                          STATEMENT OF FACTS

Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, filed her Appellant's Brief in the 14th
Court Appeals on November 14, 2014. The main issue presented is that the
property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, TX 77041 is homestead.

On January 23, 2015 the Guardian of Estate for Relator's minor daughter, Lily
Alexandra Sheshtawy ("Lily"), filed Application For Authority For Guardian To
Enter Into Settlement (A.K.A. - Distribution) Agreement Regarding the Estate of
ADEL SHESHTAWYunder Cause No. 425,238 in Probate Court One (1), of Harris
County, Texas. Probate Court One (1) where the original proceeding, In the Estate
ofAdel Sheshtawy, Cause No. 407,499 and the related Cause No. 407,499-406, the
case on appeal, were held. In his application, Mr. McCulloch mentioned the appeal
"which is currently pending in the Fourteen Court of Appeals under Cause Number
14-14-00515-CV." (See page 2, EXHIBIT 3).

Relator received a copy of the above mentioned document on February 10, 2015
and filed a Complaint against Mr. McCulloch seeking his removal as the Guardian
of the Estate for her minor child Lily on February 13, 2015. (EXHIBIT 4)
Relator filed responses to Application For Authority For Guardian To Enter Into
Settlement (A.K.A. - Distribution) Agreement Regarding the Estate of ADEL
SHESHTAWY incorporated by reference with the Complaint Against Cameron
McCulloch, on February 20, 2015 in which she pointed out that the probate court
has no jurisdiction over the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas
77041 during the pendency of the appeal. (See EXHIBIT 5). Affidavit of Valentina
Spassova Sheshtawy in support of Complaint against Cameron McCulloch as a
Guardian of Estate for Lily Sheshtawy is enclosed in EXHIBIT 5.
A hearing on the Application for Authority to Enter into Settlement (a.k.a.-
Distribution) Agreement and Valentina Sheshtawy's Complaint against Cameron
McCulloch, Guardian of the Estate ofLily Sheshtawy is scheduled on March 12,
2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Probate Court One (1) of Harris County, Texas. (See
EXHIBIT 6).

The Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy has already expressed her concern, in
her Reply Brief (page 4-5) of the appeal, about Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy's
preserved portion of her father's estate as of the date he passed away which had not
been preserved either by Mr Fuqua as a Temporary Administrator, or by Mr
McCulloch as Attorney Ad Litem and/or Guardian of Estate for the minor child,
nor by the trial court. In fact many assets were hindered or given away to other
parties in the litigation such as Nader Sheshtawy and Farouk Sheshtawy, and thus
reduced significantly Lily's share of the Estate. Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy
further stated "Instead to protect Lily's interest in the Estate, Mr McCulloch has
been effectively used to reduce Lily's portion of the Estate by signing agreements
which are not in the child's best interest, giving million dollars away to other
litigants, and disposing her homestead right."

As of the time a Rule 11 Settlement Agreement was signed on May 28, 2013
(Appellate records on file), both Valentina's lawyer at that time Donald Worley
and the Attorney ad Litem for Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy (Relator's minor child),
Cameron McCulloch hindered the information that the property at 12206 Cabo
Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 is a homestead. PEN § 32.46 Securing
execution of document by deception, (a) A person commits an offense if, with
intend to defraud or harm any person, he by deception: (1) causes another to sign
or execute any document affecting property or service or the pecuniary interest of
any person. A lawsuit against Donald Worley, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy's
former lawyer is currently pending in Probate Court One (1) of Harris County,
Texas, Cause No. 407,499-407.

Valentina was not informed about her or Lily's homestead rights, nor was it
considered that there was another minor, living in the same residence. Nikolay
Tassev is the Relator's son, and a step son to Adel Sheshtawy, deceased.
Mr. McCulloch filed Application for Authority to Enter into Settlement (a.ka.-
Distribution) Agreement Reguarding the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, seeking the
approval of Probate Court One (1) to enter into settlement agreement which is
detrimental to Lily who is only six years old at present. Mr. McCulloch is asking
the Probate Court One (1) to authorize him to settle Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy's
share in the Estate of her father Adel Sheshtawy for the property at 12206 Cabo
Blanco Ct., which is under appeal.
The proposed settlement agreement, included herewith in EXHIBIT 3, provides
(page 4 of said settlement) in 3.1. Division of Estate.
a.    In full andfinal settlement of all her interest in and possible clams against
the Estate, Lily will receive thefollowing:
i)     The Cabo Blanco Property, subject to the obligation pursuant to the terms of
the Rule 11 and Final Settlement Agreement between the Parties and Valentina
that provides Valentina and her attorney, Mr. Worley, the sum of$ 100,000from
the sales proceeds ofthe Cabo Blanco Property when sold. (Emphases added.)
For clarification, the Cabo Blanco Property is the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco
Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 and Mr.McCulloch as a Guardian of Estate for Lily is
trying to settle her share of a million dollar estate for the same property at 12206
Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 which in fact is a homestead. A Personal
Financial Statement is enclosed in EXHIBIT 5, and referenced as Exhibit A, gives
incentive about the value of some of the assets owned by Adel Sheshtawy. Adel
Sheshtawy personally made representation of those assets.

Further, the proposed settlement provides:

 v) Guardian acknowledges and agrees that theforegoing assets shall be infull and
final settlement of all amounts due Lily or Guardian from Temporary
Administrator, Nader and/ or Hanya, including any interest in the assets of
Decedent's Estate, Nader's assets, and Hanya's assets, as an heir, creditor or
otherwise; and

vi) The Parties do not hereby seek to waive any homestead protections that may
exist under Texas law as to the Cabo Blanco Property. (Emphases added.)
Valentina stated in her Response to the Application for Authority for Guardian to
Enter into Settlement (a.k.a. - Distribution) Agreement Regarding the Estate of
Adel Sheshtawy Incorporated by Reference with the Complaint Against Cameron
McCulloch, in part TV, attached here as EXHIBIT 5:
 "Mr. McCulloch asks the court to approve Lily's share of the estate ofherfather
Adel Sheshtawy to be limited to the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct, Houston,
Texas 77041. Saidproperty is under appeal in the 14th Court ofappeals in Harris
County, Texas. The Probate Court One has no jurisdiction at present over the
same property. The property was improperly included in the estate, and is exempt
property, andnot subject to administration. "(Emphases added.)

Mr McCulloch is seeking the trial court approval to sign a release on behalf of the
Relator's minor child as follows:
 Any and all claims, causes of actions, debts, demands, actions, costs, expenses,
 losses, damages, charges, challenges, contests, liabilities, promises, agreements,
 deceptive practice claims, claims in equity, suits, and all other obligations and
 liabilities of whatsoever nature KNOWN and UNKNOWN, fixed or contingent,
 liquidated or unliquidated, anticipated or unanticipated, at law or in equity, for
 any type ofreliefor redress, including but not limited to money damages, whether
founded on contract, tort (including but not limited to tortuous interference with
 inheritance rights, conversion, fraud, tax issues, undue influence, false
representation, conscious indifference, reckless disregard, and/ or malicious
conduct), fiduciary duty, NEGLIGENCE, gross negligence, intentional affliction of
emotional distress, reimbursement, breach offiduciary duty to disclose material
information, indebtedness, FRAUDULENTINDUCEMENT, and any other ground,
whether or not asserted, which any person has, may have, or have had against the
released and/or indemnifiedparty, now existing or arising in thefuture, including
the claims brought or which could have been brought by Valentina through the
effective date ofthe Agreement relating to Nader, Hanya, the Lawsuit, Decedent's
estate, including any claims ofcommon law marriage, save and except warranties
and representations under this Agreement. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE
DEFINITION OF "CLAIMS " IS AND SHALL BE AS BROAD AS THE LA W WILL
ALLOW. "
The law in the State of Texas does not allow and support such provisions,
especially when a minor's interest is concerned. The Relator, who is the mother of
Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy, a minor child presently six years old, is shocked by the
arrogance of the parties involved in such settlement agreement. The mother of the
minor child objects to all of those provisions, and specifically objects to "tort,
torturous interference with inheritance rights, conversion, fraud, undue influence,
false representation, conscious indifference, reckless disregard, malicious conduct,
fiduciary duty, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress" because that
is exactly what the parties to this settlement are performing and causing harm to
her minor child. The trial court Judge Loyd Wright should not even consider such
settlement for approval because it is so obviously unjust to the minor child and
includes indemnity provisions for a minor.

The Temporary Administrator of the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Mr. Fuqua (who is
the Appellee in the Cause No. 14-14-00515-CV) did not comply with the
requirements to file appraisement of the assets of the estate within 90 days of his
appointment, and caused misappropriation of assets belonging to the Estate of Adel
Sheshtawy. Mr. Fuqua mismanaged the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy.
         The Temporary Administrator has the duty to prepare and file with the
         court clerk a single written instrument that contains a verified, full, and
         detailed inventory in which the appraisement is set out before the 91 day
         after he qualifies. EST. 309.051(b). The personal representative shall:

                  (1) set out in the inventory the representative's appraisement of
                  the fair market value on the date of the decedent's death of
                  each item in the inventory (emphases added): or
                  (2) if the court has appointed one or more appraisers for the estate:
                  (A) determine the fair market value of each item in the inventory
                  with the assistance of the appraiser or appraisers; and
                  (B) set out that appraisement in the inventory.

Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright, approved the First Amended
Inventory, Appraisement and List of Claims on March 7, 2012 without
appraisement (See EXHIBIT 1), which caused and causes misappropriation of
assets and mismanagement of the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, and affected
Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, and her children Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy and
Nikolay Tassev.

Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy has previously raised the issue that Mr Fuqua as a
Temporary Administrator of the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy had filed inventory
without an appraisement by filing a Complaint against Michael Fuqua, Temporary
Administrator and Objections to Inventory, Appraisement and List of Claims on
June 16, 2014. (See the appeal records on file.) Respondent, the Honorable Judge
Loyd Wright denied the Complaint against Mr Fuqua, Temporary Adimistrator of
the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy.

The Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright appointed Nader Sheshtawy
and Hanya Sustache Dependent Administrators on December 10, 2013. Valentina
Spassova Sheshtawy did not receive notice individually or as a parent of Lily
Alexandra Sheshtawy. At that time Mr. McCulloch was not Guardian of Estate for
Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy. Despite of the due process violation, Judge Loyd
Wright entered order on December 10, 2013 (See page 2 in EXHIBIT 2) as
follows: "ORDERED, that there is no need for the appointment of appraisers of
this estate."

Appraisement of estate is a statutory requirement. The Respondent is in violation
of said requirement.

The proposed Settlement (a.k.a. - Distribution) Agreement Reguarding the Estate
of Adel Sheshtawy is unjust to Lily Sheshtawy, and in fact is depriving her from
what she is rightfully entitled to inherit from her father Adel Sheshtawy, as of the
date he passed away on August 8, 2011, and said settlement concerns the
homestead property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 which is on
appeal.

                       STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION

A writ of prohibition is an extraordinary writ that a court of appeals, as a court of
superior jurisdiction, may direct to a court with inferior jurisdiction. An appeal
under Cause No 14-14-00515-CV is pending in the Fourteen Court of Appeals in
Houston and same has superior jurisdiction over Probate Court One (1) in Harris
County, Texas. The court's original writ jurisdiction are found in the Texas
Constitution and the Government Code (Texas Constitution art. 5, §3, 6;
Government Code §22.002,22.221).
A Writ of Mandamus should be considered as an alternative due to the limited
time, and in the event the Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright performs
the acts to be prohibited before the Court of Appeals grant the Writ of Prohibition
requested.

This Court has jurisdiction to issue the Writ of Prohibition, or Writ of Mandamus.

                              ISSUES PRESENTED

Issue 1: The Probate Court One (1) of Harris County, Texas has no jurisdiction
over the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 while Cause
No. 14-14-00515-CV is pending.

Issue 2: In the event, the Respondent performs any actions and signs orders related
to the homestead property, the appeal will be ineffectual.

                       ARGUMENTS & AUTHORITIES

I.The Respondent, the Honorable Judge Loyd Wright, sitting in Probate Court One
(1) of Harris County, Texas may perform actions under Cause No. 425,238 which
may adversely affect the issues under appeal.

II.The Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy is seeking emergency relief because
there is an extraordinary situation in the trial court which requires immediate
attention. A court of appeals may issue necessary writs to protect its jurisdictionby
preserving the subject matter of the appeal pending a hearing on the appeal. (Texas
Constitution, Art. 5, §3, 6; Tex. Government Code § 22.221(a); Chang, 814 S.W.2d
at 545. The Relator is seeking a relief to preserve the status quo of the appeal,
Cause No 14-14-00515-CV. The purpose of writ of prohibition is to enable a
higher court to protect and enforce its jurisdiction and judgment. Holloway v. Fifth
Court ofAppeals, 767 S.W.2d 680, 683 (Tex. 1989). The writ is typically used by
an appellate court to control, limit, or prevent action in a lower court. Id. At 682.
The Court of Appeals may grant "anyjust relief during the pending appeal.

                                        PRAYER

The Relator, Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy prays that the Court of Appeals will
issue the Writ of Prohibition to protect itsjurisdiction during the pending appeal to
conserve the status quo of the issues under appeal and direct the Respondent,the
Honorable Loyd Wright to refrain from approving and signing any orders related
to the property at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas, or alternatively a Writ
of Mandamus to be issued to the Respondent to comply with the Appellate Court's
orders in the event the Respondent has already performed the acts seeking to be
prohibited prior to the Court of Appeals granting Writ of Prohibition.

Respectfully submitted,

Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy

          Guardian to Enter into Settlement (a.k.a. - Distribution) Agreementregarding the Estate of Adel

          Sheshtawy, Deceased, and insupport thereof would respectfully show theCourt the following:
                                                         1.

                    Applicant was appointed by the Court to serve as the Guardian of the Estate of Lily
          Alexandra Sheshtawy, a Minor (hereinafter referred to as"Lily") by Order of this Court, dated
          January 22,2014. Applicant qualified as theGuardian of Lily'sestate on January 30,2014, and
          has continued to serve in hisCourt appointed capacity atalltimessince hisdate of qualification.

                                                         2.

                    Lilyis one of Adel Sheshtawy's three biological children. Adel Sheshtawy (hereinafter
          referredto as the "Decedent") died on August 8,2011.

                                                                                                     £       z»

          0043500                                                                        x

                                                          3.

          After Decedent passed away, litigation ensued between Lily's mother, Valentina

 Sheshtawy, and Lily's half-siblings (a.k.a. - Decedent's other two children - Nader Sheshtawy
 and Hanya Sustache). The litigation concerned Valentina Sheshtawy's assertion/allegation that
 she was the Decedent's surviving common law spouse. The common law marriage claim was
 ultimately settled; however, Valentia Sheshtawy has subsequently repudiated the Settlement
 Agreement1. The validity ofthe aforementioned Settlement Agreement is now the subject ofan
 appeal which is currently pending in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals under Cause Number 14-
 14-00515-CV.

                                                          4.

          In addition to the common law marriage lawsuit which is described above, litigation has
also occurred between the Decedent's Estate and Decedent's surviving brother, Farouk
Sheshtawy, regarding the ownership of certain assets.                More specifically, the Decedent's
surviving brother, Farouk Sheshtawy, previously asserted ownership claims to assets which
belonged to Decedent at the time of his death. The litigation between Decedent's Estate and

bother (a.k.a. - Farouk Sheshtawy) was ultimately resolved, by and through a Court approved
settlement agreement.

                                                         5.

          As alluded to above (and as a result of the Settlement Agreement), the Court previously
declared and determined that the Decedent has three surviving heirs at law. More specifically,
the Decedent's three surviving heirs at law are the Decedent's three biological children, Nader

 ARule 11 and Final Settlement Agreement for the common law marriage lawsuit was entered into by and between
Valentina Sheshtawy, Applicant, Nader Sheshtawy and Hanya Sustache on May 28, 2013. On July 17, 2013, the
Court, after due notice and consideration, found that the terms ofthe Settlement Agreement were in Lily's best
interest, and approved the Settlement Agreement in all respects.

INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE WITH THE COMPLAINT AGAINST
                           CAMERON McCULLOCH

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy (hereinafter referred as to "Valentina"), as an
interested party, and the mother of Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy, a minor child
(hereinafter referred to as "Lily"), filed a Complaint against Cameron
McCulloch, Guardian of the Estate of Lily Sheshtawy on February 13, 2015,
and in support of the Complaint, and in response to Mr. McCulloch's Application
for Authority for Guardian to Enter into Settlement (a.k.a.- distribution)
Agreement Reguarding the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, will respectfully show
the court the following:

The family settlement agreement, presented by Mr.McChuUoch for which he is
seeking approval by the court, is not in Lily's interest; it causes monetary damages
to Lily; constitutes provisions contrary to Lily's inheritance rights; reduces Lily's
fair share of her father's estate and is causing harm to the minor child.

   I.     The estate of Adel Sheshtawy - Lily's father has not been appraised.
          Appraisement of estate is a statutory requirement. Valentina filed a
          complaint against the Temporary Administrator, Mr Fuqua under the
base proceeding 407,499, on or about June 16, 2014. In this complaint,
Valentina complained to the court about improper inventory and raised
the issue of assets belonging to the estate of Adel Sheshtawy not being
appraised. Mr.McCulloch did not raise the same issues in court on Lily's
behalf at that time, and/or after.
1.1.   The Temporary Administrator has the duty to prepare and file with
       the court clerk a single written instrument that contains a verified,
       full, and detailed inventory in which the appraisement is set out
       before the 91 day after he qualifies. EST. 309.051(b) The personal
       representative shall:
       (l)set out in the inventory the representative's appraisement of
       the fair market value on the date of the decedent's death of
      each item in the inventory (emphases added): or
      (2) if the court has appointed one or more appraisers for the estate:
      (A) determine the fair market value of each item in the inventory
      with the assistance of the appraiser or appraisers; and
      (B) set out that appraisement in the inventory.
1.2.. Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy has previously raised the issue that
      Mr Fuqua as a Temporary Administrator of the estate of Adel
      Sheshtawy had filed inventory without an appraisement and the
      court approved the document without appraisement.
      Mr Fuqua was issued LETTERS OF TEMPORARY
      ADMINISTRATION on October the 17, 2011. At any time after
      letters of testamentary or of administration are granted, the court,
      for good cause, on the court's own motion or on the motion of an
      interested party shall appoint at least one but not more than three
      disinterested persons who are residents of the county in which the
      letters were granted to appraise the estate properly. EST. §
       309.001.
 1.3. When Mr. McCulloch was appointed to serve as Attorney Ad
       Litem for Lily he should notice that there was no appraisement of
       the assets of the estate of Adel Sheshtawy. As an Attorney Ad
       Litem and/or Guardian of the Estate for Lily Sheshtawy, a minor
       child he could file a motion on Lily's behalf and request the court
       to appoint appraisers in order to properly determine the share that
    Lily is entitled to from her father's estate. The fact that
    MrMcCulloch did not request appraisal of the estate of Lily's
    father shows that he did not exercise his duties to Lily and the
    court which appointed him with diligence. Mr.McCulloch at a
    previous hearing stated that he paid out of his pocket at a very low
    cost for an appraisement of the property at 6324 Cunningham Rd.,
    Houston, Texas 77041 and 6323 Thomas Rd, Houston, Texas
    77041 but there are still many other valuable assets that have not
    been appraised. Therefore, Mr. McCulloch could not agree with
    the provisions for Lily in FAMILY SETTLEMENT &
    DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT without knowing the value of
    said assets.
1.4. This court could on its own motion appoint appraisers in order to
     determine what is the proper value of of the estate of Adel
     Sheshtawy and Lily's share of the estate of her father Adel
     Sheshtawy, accordingly. Without an appraisement of the estate of
     Adel Sheshtawy, the court could not make determination whether
    the FAMILY SETTLEMENT&DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
     is in Lily's best interest because the court does not know the value
     of the assets belonging to Adel Sheshtawy's estate.
1.5. Based on Adel Sheshtawy's PERSONAL FINANCIAL
    STATEMENT, the value of shares he owned in Tri-Max Inds., Inc.
    is $ 8,000,000; his real estate properties and investments included
    the house at 12207 Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 which
    market value is around $ 470,000 as part of AJZ Inc.; he stated his
    annual income was $ 146,880; Adel also stated he owned E-trade
    &   Scott trade accounts.     See Exhibit A      Personal Financial
    Statement and Exhibit B: Affidavit of Daniel Gebara - Realtor
     with Keller Williams Realty, in support of purchase made by Adel.
     The monthly rent from this property at 12207 Cabo Blanco Ct.,
     Houston, TX 77041 was $4,500.00 a month. After Adel's death the
     tenant continue to occupy the property and pay rent. The rent was
     deposited in the court registry.
1.6. As per the settlement agreement signed under 407,499-402, AJZ
     investment was assigned to Nader Sheshtawy. This constitutes
unlawful exclusion of estate assets and unlawful assignment of
said assets to Nader Sheshtawy but Mr.McCulloch agreed to that
on Lily's behalf.
The house at Ivy Heath, Houston, Texas 77041 was purchased by
Adel Sheshtawy in 2011 also under AJZ Inc. Nader Sheshtawy
sold the property after Adel died and deposited the proceeds in his
personal bank account in Bank of America. Nader stated in his
deposition that he sold the house for $150,000.00
Exhibit C: Westbound Bank, checks 004800 and 004799 show
transactions to E-TRADE and SCOTTRADE accounts made by
Adel. Both checks are dated July 22 2010.
Valentina is not aware whether MrMcCulloch requested any
documents from Mr Fuqua and Nader Sheshtawy, in terms of value
of assets belonging to Adel's estate , to determine whether the
provisions in 407,499-402 settlement agreement are fair to Lily.
Valentina made numerous attempts to reach to Mr.McCulloch
prior to him signing a settlement agreement on Lily's behalf in
407,499-402 proceeding in order to show him documents in
support of assets belonging to the estate of Adel Sheshtawy and
injunctions from 247       District Court were forwarded to
Mr.McCulloch to prove that Adel could not transfer assets to his
brother Farouk Sheshtawy during the pending divorce.
Mr.McCulloch ignored the information submitted to him and
signed settlement agreement under 407,499-402 as per which the
estate of Adel Sheshtawy was significantly reduced, and Lily's
share accordingly. As per the same agreement Westbound Bank
accounts were given/assigned to Nader Sheshtawy.

1.7.     Lily Sheshtawy's father Adel Sheshtawy had unique
inventions and several patents under his name. They are as
follows:
1.5.1. Canadian Patent No. 2,289,367, Drilling Tool with
Extendable Elements.
1.5.2. Great Britain Patent No. GB2344607, Drilling Tool with
Extendable Elements.
               1.5.3. United States Patent No. 7,703,534 Underwater Seafloor
              Drilling Rig.
              1.5.4. United States Patent No. 6,189,63IB 1 Drilling Tool with
              Extendable Elements.
              1.5.5. United States Patent No. 3,937,278 Self-propelling apparatus
              for well logging tools.

              1.7. Corporations:
              1.7.1. 100% Ownership interest in Tri-Max Industries, Inc.
              1.7.2. !00% Ownership interest in Drill Bit Industries, Inc.
              1.7.3. 65% Ownership interest in Drilling Tools (DTI), Inc.

              1.8. Securities, Stocks & Bonds:
              1.8.1. British Petroleum (BP) - 17 Shares @ $742.22/share
              1.8.2.SEMISUB, INC. (California Corporation) - 50 shares
              Authorized Capital Stock Share # 128 dated October 10,2008.

        All of the above assets, belonging to the estate of Adel Sheshtawy have
        not been appraised, and therefore Mr.McCulloch could not agree and sign
        on Lily's behalf the FAMILY SETTLEMENT & DISTRIBUTION
        AGREEMENT without knowing how much Lily will be at loss.

II.     Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy - the minor child of Adel Sheshtawy and
        Valentina Sheshtawy has a preserved portion from her father's
        estate as of the date he passed away on August 8,2011. Mr.McCulloch
        has not made any efforts to strive to conserve Lily's share in the estate of
        her father as Attorney Ad Litem and/ or Guardian of Estate. Mr
        McCulloch was appointed by this court, and he is liable to the court and
        Lily for his actions.

      1. Many assets which belonged to the estate of Adel Sheshtawy has been
         misappropriated with the Settlement Agreement under 407,499-402, such
         as: AJZ Inc. assigned to Nader Sheshtawy, approximate value of 12207
        Cabo Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041 - $ 470,000.00 and rent in the
        amount $ 4,500.00 from August 2011 to August 2014 when Nader
   Sheshtawy sold the same property ($ 162,000.00 total). The rent was
   deposited in court registry, and then Nader Sheshtawy withdrew the
   amount. Nader Sheshtawy had also sold the property where Adel resided
   at the time of his death and during the pending divorce at Ivy Heath,
   Houston, Texas 77041 and deposited the sale proceeds in his personal
   account in Bank of America. Adel purchased the house at Ivy Heath
   during the pending divorce at 247th District Court in Harris County as per
   the same court orders he was removed from the family residence at
   12206 Cabo Blanco Ct.
2. The Westbound bank accounts were given to Nader Sheshtawy as per
   Settlement Agreement under 407,499-402. Mr. McCulloch agreed to that
   on Lily's behalf. Valentina requested a meeting with Mr.McCulloch prior
   to him signing such agreement. Valentina made numerous attempts to
   reach to Mr. Mculloch and show him documents in support of
   Westbound bank accounts and other assets belonging to the estate of
   Adel Sheshtawy, to no avail. Mr. McCulloch signed the Settlement
   Agreement and in result reduced and agreed Lily's share to be reduced
   with amount of money in exceeds of $ 3,000,000.00.
   The amount in Westbound Bank accounts could be easily verified with
   the bank as well as the value of E-trade and Scott-trade accounts.
3. Mr.McCulloch signed a settlement agreement under 407,499-401 on
   Lily's behalf. As a licensed attorney with long experience in probate, he
   knew that Lily is entitled to the house at 12206 Cabo Blanco Ct.,
   Houston, Texas 77041. He knew that this is the primary residence and
   Lily's homestead.
   Mr.McCulloch initiated the settlement agreement and did not inform
   Lily's mother that Lily is entitled to the house as this is her homestead.
   Mr.McCulloch as a licensed attorney knew that a homestead cannot be
   partitioned among the heirs and he knew there was a potential thread with
   such agreement Lily's share in the estate of her father tto be reduced.
   Instead to strive to preserve and collect Lily's rightful share of her
   father's estate and set aside Lily's homestead, Mr.McCulloch caused
   monetary damages to Lily as it is evidenced from all of the above. In the
   same agreement signed by Nader Sheshtawy and Hanya Sustache, they
   agreed to be responsible for their attorneys' fees, cost and expenses.
III.   The exact amount of damages caused to Lily could be reasonably
       calculated by this court after proper appraisement of the estate of Adel
       Sheshtawy, and reviewing the previous settlement agreements.

IV.    Mr.McCulloch asks this court to approve Lily's share of the estate of her
       father Adel Sheshtawy to be limited to the property at 12206 Cabo
       Blanco Ct., Houston, Texas 77041. Said property is under appeal in the
       14th Court of Appeals in Harris County, Texas. The Probate Court One
       has no jurisdiction at present over the same property. The property was
       improperly included in the estate, and is exempt property, and not subject
       to administration.

V.     Mr. McCulloch is asking the court for permission to sign a release on
       Lily's behalf for the following:

       - Any and all claims, causes of actions, debts, demands, actions, costs,
         expenses, losses, damages, charges, challenges, contests, liabilities,
         promises, agreements, deceptive practice claims, claims in equity,
         suits, and all other obligations and liabilities of whatsoever nature
         KNOWN and UNKNOWN, fixed or contingent, liquidated or
         unliquidated, anticipated or unanticipated, at lawor in equity, for any
         type of relief or redress, including but not limited to money damages,
          whether founded on contract, tort (including but not limited to
          tortuous interference with inheritance rights, conversion,fraud, tax
          issues, undue influence, false representation, conscious indifference,
          reckless disregard, and/ or malicious conduct), fiduciary duty,
          NEGLIGENCE, gross negligence, intentional affliction of emotional
          distress, reimbursement, breach of fiduciary duty to disclose material
          information, indebtedness, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, and any
          other ground, whether or not asserted, which any person has, may
          have, or have had against the released and/or indemnified party, now
          existing or arising in the future, including the claims brought or which
          could have been brought by Valentina through the effective date of
          the Agreement relating to Nader, Hanya, the Lawsuit, Decedent's
             estate, including any claims of common law marriage, save and except
             warranties and representations under this Agreement. THE PARTIES
             AGREE THAT THE DEFINITION OF "CLAIMS" IS AND SHALL
             BE AS BROAD AS THE LAW WILL ALLOW.

Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy believes that the law in the State of Texas does not
allow and support all of the above but specifically to mention a few such as tort,
torturous interference with inheritance rights, conversion, fraud, undue influence,
false representation,, conscious indifference, reckless disregard, malicious conduct,
fiduciary duty, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Because Lily is only six years old, she could not possibly cause harm to Hanya
Sustache ("Hanya") and Nader Sheshtawy ("Nader"), personally and as Co-
Administrators along with Mr Fuqua but Hanya and Nader can do all of the above
mentioned to Lily, and in fact they have already caused harm to Lily by interfering
with the social security benefits that Lily and Valentina were receiving, in result of
which the family income dropped drastically and cause Lily to suffer days with no
food or very limited food, depriving Lily of basic needs for child her age which
resulted in emotional affliction and constitutes act of malicious conduct from
Nader's and Hanya's side. Mr. McCulloch previously gave indications that he was
aware of that Hanya and Nader interfered with the social security benefits which
they could not contest because they are not entitled to those benefits. They
intentionally caused harm to Lily and Valentina. Lily is currently under therapy
appropriate for her age in result of Hanya and Nader's intentional cruel actions.

The above cited provisions which are included in the settlement which Mr.
McCulloch presented to the court for consideration are indemnity provisions Mr.
McCulloch cannot bind Lily who is six years old. These type of provisions are
subject to direct attack in the court of appeals especially when a minor child is
involved.

Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy believes that Probate Court One does not support
such provisions, and prays that the court deny Mr. McCulloch APPLICATION
FOR AUTHORITY FOR GUARDIAN TO ENTER INTO SETTLEMENT
(A.K.A. - DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT REGARDING THE ESTATE OF
ADEL SHESHTAWY.
Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy, further prays that after proper hearing of
arguments, this court release Mr. McCulloch to serve as Attorney Ad Litem and
Guardian of Estate for Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy; and that the court enter any
other order deemed necessary to protect the interest of the minor child in the estate
of her father Adel Sheshtawy, including but not limited to appraisement and
freezing the assets of the estate of Adel Sheshtawy until further order of the court;
and consider less costly alternative to Lily's guardianship.

Respectfully submitted,

                                AFFIDAVIT OF DANIELLE GEBARA

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared DANIELLE GEBARA, who being
duly sworn, said the following facts are true:

My name is Danielle Z. Gebara. Iam overage of 21years, have never been convicted of a felony
or a crime of moral turpitude, and I am in all respects competent to make this Affidavit. I have
personal knowledge of the facts contained herein, and all are true and correct.

Iam a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. I have eleven years of experiencein Real Estate.

Ifirst met Mr. Adel Sheshtawy in December 2007, at an open house for the home I was listing
at 12206 Cabo Blanco, Houston TX. 77041 owned at that time by Kevin and Lisa Carpenter. Mr.
Sheshtawy visited the home and stated that he loved it, than left the property. The same
evening he called me and requested that Imeet him at the property the next morning and bring
along a copy ofthe contract necessary to submit an offer. Upon meeting him, he requested that
we draw the offer on the spot. When I asked him ifthere would be anyone else's name on the
contract he said that he was married but wanted his name only on the contract because the
home was a surprise for his wife, who I later met through another purchase and lease
transaction Mr Sheshtawy requested my help with. Mr Sheshtawy purchased this home with
cash.

Ifirst met Valentina Sheshtawy in late May, earlyJune 2008when Ivisited MrSheshtawy at his
new home twice, and discussed with him the purchase and the lease of 12207 Cabo Blanco Ct,
the home across the street from the property that he purchased from me, and where he lived
with his family . In the following 3 years Mr sheshtawy called me several times to ask for my
opinion about other real estate investments. I would always ask about his wife Valentina and
Lilly and Nikolay. He always responded they were fine, adding they were all very happy in the
house. I later learned during the year 2010, through common acquaintances, that there was a
divorce procedure between Mr. Sheshtawy and his wife.

I live in Lakes on Eldridge North and have seen the Sheshtawy family on several occasions such
as parties and social gatherings. Adel and Valentina were representing themselves as a married
couple and family with a young daughter and a teen age step child.
I heard that Mr. Sheshtawy passed away in 2011.
