PETITION TO SET ASIDE ACCOUNTINGS
COMES
NOW Patrick Christopher Lear, Petitioner, as named heir in the Estate of
William Powell Lear and beneficiary of The William P. Lear and the Moya Olsen Lear Family Trust Agreement (LFT) dated March
9, 1978 and submits this Petition to
Set Aside Accountings (Petition) for the years 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981,
1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994,
1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
Petitioner having been deprived of legal notice, Trust
accountings and any other information regarding the LFT for a period exceeding
twenty years, has recently discovered accounting omissions, errors, conversions
and misappropriations as far back as 1978 which taint every LFT account
submitted to this Court from that date and petitions this Court to set aside
all of the LFT accounts since 1978 and more particularly from January 1983 to
the present pursuant to NRS §165.120.
Trustees Harold P. Dayton (deceased), James L. Murphy and
Richard B. Rowley (deceased), while acting under the advice and counsel of COOKE, ROBERTS & REESE, LTD, David J. Reese, Esq. and in
collusion with GRANT
THORNTON, LLP and accountant James L. Murphy, failed, refused and neglected
to properly administer the Lear Family Trust in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Last Will and Testament of William P.
Lear, Sr., the William P. Lear and Moya Olsen Lear Family Trust Agreement, the Constitution
and the laws of the State of Nevada, the Constitution and laws of
the United States of America and to truthfully completely, honestly and
accurately account therefore.
As a result of the acts, omissions, negligence and
maladministration of the LFT as complained of, Petitioner moves this Court to
order and appoint a receiver to take possession and hold all property, assets,
revenues, expenditures, accounts, books, papers and records of the LFT pursuant to N.R.S. §163.115(1)(d) and N.R.S.
§153.031(m,) and that this Court Order LFT Trustees to post with this
Court their performance bonds or other errors and omissions insurance to stand
as surety for any acts, omissions, negligence or maladministration of the LFT.
As a result of the acts, omissions and unethical conduct
of COOKE, ROBERTS & REESE, LTD,
David J. Reese in advising and counseling LFT Trustees in and during the maladministration of the LFT that this Court Order COOKE,
ROBERTS & REESE, LTD, and David J. Reese, Esq., to post their errors
and omissions insurance with this Court.
As a result of the acts, omissions, negligence, and
unethical conduct of GRANT THORNTON LLP and its partner and accountant James L. Murphy that this Court order GRANT THORNTON, LLP and accountant James
L. Murphy to post their bond or errors and omissions insurance with this Court.
As a result of the acts, omissions, negligence,
maladministration and unethical conduct as set forth herein, Petitioner moves
this Court to Order a true, correct, complete and accurate forensic audit of
the LFT from March 9, 1978 to the present, by an
independent, disinterested, impartial and bonded auditing company licensed to
do business in Nevada and that it be entirely billed and charged against the Respondents
if any negligence, unethical conduct, fraud, or unlawful acts be found that were proximately caused by
the Respondents.
Each and every allegation and paragraph herein is
reiterated and incorporated in each and every section so as to show and
establish Respondents' systematic scheme and continuing pattern of conduct.
