Notice of Hearing

TO: RESPONDENTS; C.T. A MINOR AND ANY UNKNOWN HEIRS OF ANTHONY K. THOMAS, Sr.

This is to place you on formal notice that a hearing in this matter has been set for 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, October 17th, 2017, on Petitioner’s Motion to Deny Entitlement to Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. at the Spartanburg County Courthouse in front of the Honorable Ponda A. Caldwell in the Probate Office on the first floor.

Attorneys for the Petitioner

Spartanburg, S.C. 29304

Petition to Deny Entitlement to Anthony K. Thomas, Sr.

COMES NOW the Petitioner named above, pursuant to S.C. Code Section 62-2-114, to deny Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. (father of the deceased AKT) any entitlement to any share of the proceeds of the estate of AKT and would respectfully show unto this Honorable Court as follows:

1. The Petitioner is Teresa Bryant, the personal representative of the estate of AKT.

2. This matter is in the interests of AKT (hereinafter 'Decedent'). He was born on August 6, 2011. On September 16, 2013 AKT was found unconscious and drowning in a swimming pool. AKT died a week later at the age of two years old. The Deceased had no will.

3. At the time of his death, the AKT's mother and father were alive. AKT's father (Anthony K. Thomas, Sr.) died prior to the resolution of a legal matter for which proceeds are to be paid to the Estate of AKT. His heirs at law would have been his Mother, his sister (C.T.), and perhaps his Father Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. There is some question under the law as to whether Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. is a proper heir of the Estate of AKT because he died prior to the resolution of the wrongful death and survival claims for which proceeds are available to the Estate of AKT. AKT's mother has disclaimed any interest in AKT's estate. Thus, the only known heir to the estate of AKT is the minor child, C.T.

4. The Respondent C.T. is a minor and only known heir of the Estate of AKT. The Court has appointed Doug Brannon as the guardian ad litem for C.T.

5. Jurisdiction and Venue is proper for this proceeding in this County because the Decedent was domiciled in this County at the date of his death.

6. The purpose of this action is to show why Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. should be denied any proceeds of the estate of AKT and further provide full and fair opportunity for any and all other unknown heirs to be heard regarding alleged entitlement to the wrongful death and survival claims in the Estate of AKT.

7. Prior to his death, AKT's father Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. failed to reasonably provide support for the decedent as defined in Section 63-5-20 and did not otherwise provide for the needs of the decedent during his life.

8. Further, Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. was present at the home where AKT was found drowning at the pool on September 16, 2013 and allegedly failed to properly supervise and protect AKT.

9. Pursuant to the foregoing, Petitioner submits that Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. is disqualified parent pursuant to S.C. Code Section 62-2-114 and therefore the proceeds that Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. may have otherwise taken should pass as though Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. had predeceased the decedent.

10. Based on information and belief, no third party has filed any Demand for Notice with the Probate Courts of this State regarding the Decedent.

11. Petitioner seeks an order finding that Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. is a disqualified parent pursuant to S.C. Code Section 62-2-114 and that the proceeds that Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. may have otherwise taken should pass as though Anthony K. Thomas, Sr. had predeceased the Decedent.

12. Petitioner further seeks an Order determining that C.T. is the only legal heir of the Decedent such that the property of the Estate of the Decedent can be disbursed according to Order of this Court.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays for an Order of this Court determining and establishing that C.T. is the only proper heir of the Decedent and granting such other and further relief as the Court finds reasonable and appropriate.

Respectfully submitted this 30th day of June, 2017.
