Dear Judge Wall
Enclosed please find a copy of the letter and attachments that Judge Diane Blickhas submitted in response to your letter of July 19 2010
Based upon Judge Blicks response I do not intend to take any further action onthis matter Judge Blick had been serving as acoexecutor of the estates of bothRobert G McMurtry and Rosemary McMurtry prior to the time of her election asjudge of the Litchfield Probate Court Following her election she disqualifiedherself as judge from the two matters and took steps within a reasonable periodof time to resign ascoexecutor and to decline to act as cotrustee As requiredby law she filed an accounting for the period preceding her resignation
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this matter

The Honorable Paul J KnierimOffice ofthe Probate Administrator186 Newington RoadWest Hartford CT 061102320
Dear Judge Knierim
Responding to your phone call regarding the letter to you from Patrick J Wall which you faxed to me I wascertainly surprised to receive such a letter especially from someone other than aparty of interest in the casesreferenced and almost 3 years after my recusal as Judge and resignation as fiduciary in such cases
Mr Wall states in his letter This letter is in no way is to be considered a complaint due to my lack of directknowledge and the sensitive nature ofthis matter due to my role as Judge Blicks political opponent
Inasmuch as Mr Wall has been to this Court to comb through the records and his parttime or former Clerkhas also come to this Court to look through records only on Tuesdays when I sit and hold hearings in Kentarriving after Ihave left for Kent and leaving prior to my return back to Litchfield one can only suspect thatsuch a claim by my opponent in the upcoming election is exactly thatpolitical in nature After all he neverlooked through my records in the first 3 2 years Ihave served Why all of sudden now
I find Mr Walls actions to come to my Court to look for questionable actions on my part to be distastefulunprofessional and less than honorable despite his mea culpa opening statement in his letter
Now the factsRobert McMurtry and Rosemary McMurtry were close personal friends of mine for well over 20 years BobMcMurtry died on March 25 2006 Rosemary McMurtry died on May 3 2006
In each oftheir Wills they appointed their son Andrew their friend and accountant Jim McEvoy and myself asCoExecutors andCoTrustees
Recognizing that it was not appropriate for meto hear this matter now that I wasJudge ofthe Litchfield DistrictProbate Court I sent a Declination or Disqualification Request to Probate Administration on April 12 2007requesting that another Judge be cited in on these matters
On May 2 2007 Judge Lawlor sent a Citation PC33 form to Judge Mark Malley requesting his acceptance tobe cited in on these matters Judge Malley accepted the appointment by signing the PC33 and returning it Ido not know the date on which Judge Malley signed as there is no date near his signature
On May 23 2007 I filed my Resignation to act as CoExecutor and Declination to act as CoTrustee in thesematters
Thereafter Iwas advised by Attorney Grimes attorney ofrecord for the estate that the original Declination toserve as Trustee which I filed was incomplete and therefore needed to be rescinded in favor ofa corrected one
he would draw up Attorney Grimes held the Withdrawal of Declination to Act as Trustee in his file until suchtime as he would file all documents with the Court In the meantime my original Declination to Act was in theCourt record Iwas expected to file and it was my fiduciary responsibility to file Final Accounts for eachestate covering the period from when I was appointed in each matter to the date of my resignations I
proceeded to do just that in a timely manner even though these wereextremely complicated estates so that theCourt could formally release me from serving after due hearing
My Withdrawal of the Declination to Act as Trustee and the corrected Declination to Act as Trustee drawn byAttorney Grimes were both filed simultaneously on September 10 2007 along with the Mutual DistributionAgreements and Final Accounts
NOTE A review of the documents in the file finds that the imprint of the Courts received date stampprints in red ink copy enclosed but does not show up on the laser fiche scan ofthis or any other documents inthis file or any other file
These estates were most complex due to the questionable activities of the son Andrew both prior to hisparents deaths and after their deaths In order for me to fulfill my fiduciary responsibility to present properFinal Accounts we had to gather information which was not easily forthcoming from Andrew or the banks andfinancial institutions involved It was a long and protracted undertaking Once all information was finallyprovided we were prepared to submit Final Accounts which would complete my fiduciary responsibilitiesHowever immediately following the actual signing ofthe Final Accounts on June 29 2007 Andrew notified us
that he would not authorize the filing of the Final Accounts in the Court as he felt after thinking about itovernight that he still had issues about items in the Final Accounts relating to him which still needed to beresolved The filing of the Final Accounts were held back until all issues were resolved and we could fileproper accountings
It was not until September 2007 that all issues were finally resolved resulting in the filing of all documentsincluding the Mutual Distribution Agreements and the Final Accounts Andrew McMurtry also resigned andJim McEvoy continued on as the Sole Fiduciary in both estates and all trusts All documents relating to thecompletion of my fiduciary responsibilities and the filing of my Final Accounts were filed with the Court on
September 10 2007
I enclose a copy of Judge Malleys decree regarding my resignations and the filing ofthe Mutual DistributionAgreements and the Final Accounts for your information
Only Mr McEvoy as sole fiduciary completed administration of both estates and submitted his Final Accountswhich wereaccepted and approved by Judge Malley
Certainly if Mr Wall had any questions he could have asked me before lodging these allegations with ProbateAdministration in an effort to intentionally and maliciously dirty my clean record
Iunderstand Probate Administration must investigate all complaints However I trust Probate Administrationdoes not give weight or credibility to bar room gossip witch hunts or noncomplaints of alleged
anonymous third parties I find it extremely distasteful and unprofessional of a Probate Judge to make suchserious accusations and allegations of professional misconduct especially since he did not name the partymaking such an allegation he did not specify when he was made aware of such alleged misconduct and he didnot have direct knowledge of the above nor have I reviewed the referred Estates and Trust as stated in MrWalls letter ofnoncomplaint
As professionals we certainly would not allow such socalled evidence or hearsay to have any place or
standing in our courtrooms ofintegrity
I trust this answers your inquiry Best regards
Sincerely
Diane S Blick
