HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF NEGOTIATIONS for the purchase of Nancy Aguirre Kenneth Mauldin's property located at 1305 Clyde Drive, Marrerro, LA.

Goldie Mauldin Taylor, Nancy Mauldin Gallagher, Jerry Mauldin (Group A)
Debbie Mauldin Clark, Kenneth Mauldin, Jr., Wanda Mauldin Zuege (Group B)

2004: Debbie & Ernie Clark, Kenneth & Donna Mauldin, Jr., and Wanda and David Zuege (Group B) offered to sell the property to Group A at the fair market value of $106,000.

• Group A declined and requested to purchase the property at $85,000.
• Group B accepted $85,000. A transfer of sale date was set.
• Group A (Goldie Taylor) arrived on the date-of-transfer with only $50,000.
• Group B responded with a more realistic purchase price of $70,000.
• JUNE 2008: Group A stated that there are other family offspring that exist and must be notified, therefore, succession was to be postponed until "the ghost family members" are notified.
• JUNE 2008: Letter to Trey Fontana from Wanda Mauldin Zuege: "I am sure you will agree, Jules, Group B has given Group A much time to not only make a definite decision to own this property - but also plenty of time to find the finances to purchase this property. This new revelation - that there are other family members that need to be part of this succession - is truly a unique and creative way to keep the status quot; i.e., continue to skirt ownership and use the property without any financial or ownership responsibility.
  As a reality-check ... Group B is formally requesting that you prepare the paperwork necessary for the state to take over the residence at 1305 Clyde Drive and/or place this property for auction.
  We do not wish to continue to be held solely responsible for the mortgage payments, insurance requirements and taxes for this residence. Especially knowing that the house has been completely destroyed by Group A with the specific intentions of keeping the value of the house depressed. (Debbie Clark has before and after pictures available upon request.) If they wish to keep the residence, then I would suggest that they be sure to attend the auction to legally purchase the residence and take ownership responsibilities. "
• DEC 2008 AUCTION #1: Group A did not bid for the property with a starting bid of approximately $50,000. (Group B did not bid so that Group A would have the option to purchase the property without obstruction.)
• DEC 2008: Group B Proceeded to pay to have the auction rescheduled and were resigned to the fact that Group A had no intentions of purchasing the property -- only exploiting the situation in their favor as both families are conducting businesses from this property while Group B is paying their overhead expenses, insurance and property taxes.
• JUL 2009 AUCTION #2: Group A attempted to purchase the property at $3,600 but arrived unprepared, therefore, had no funds to actually purchase the property at that moment. Group B arrived at the auction late but was able to bid for the property an hour later after it was established that Group A was unable to purchase said property.
• SEP 2009 PETITION COURT: Goldie Mauldin Taylor petitioned the eviction court that she "had suffered damage as a result of the acts and omissions of Debbie Mauldin Clark and Wanda Mauldin Zuege ... and prays that after all legal delays and due proceedings had, there be judgment in her favor against Debbie Mauldin Clark and Wanda Mauldin Zuege for all relief as is appropriate under the circumstances."
• Goldie Mauldin Taylor during the eviction court proceedings did agree to pay Debbie Mauldin Clark and Wanda Mauldin Zuege $40,000 within 24 hours from that date
• SEP 2009: Goldie Mauldin Taylor did send the $40,000 to the legal office of Fontana & Fontana two days later instead of 24 hours as required by the eviction court. Goldie Mauldin Taylor sent statement to family lawyer that she would purchase the property at the $40,000 if the house were placed in succession again.
• SEP 2009: Wanda Mauldin Zuege received ACT OF CASH SALE by certified mail and did not see Goldie Mauldin Taylor (or Jerry Christopher Mauldin) as the buyer of the property on 1305 Clyde Drive.
• Debbie Mauldin Clark and Wanda Mauldin Zuege agreed that in spite of the late payment, and the contingency from Goldie Mauldin Taylor to place the house in succession, that if the money was actually wired to the Lawyer's office and Goldie agreed to our 5 contingencies, we would agree to sell the property at $40,000. Presently, they are making money in the amount of $1500/month rental income from the 1305 Clyde Drive property without any relative expenses: Specifically,
• Group A has escaped any fiscal responsibility for paying rent or mortgage payments in the last for the last four years. We have paid the mortgage payments.
• They have escaped any risk that is associated with a small business. We pay the required property insurance.
• They have abdicated any property tax responsibilities. We have paid all of the property taxes since the death of Nancy Aguirre Mauldin.
• We will continue to be responsible for all future property taxes as they find new ways to manipulate the system to their favor.
