In re Estate of Coombs

In a case involving an allegedly contaminated parcel of land once owned by testator, order granting executors petition for leave to renounce right of administration of specific real property affirmed because appellants identified no statute or other authority stating that a trial court must take into account pending environmental concerns when granting a petition to renounce, and issues raised by appellants could best be resolved in context of pending federal litigation.

OPINION

� 1 Appellants, Robert W. Grine, II, Joanne D. Grine, and the Estate of Margaret M. Grine, appeal from the order entered February 14, 2000, dismissing Appellants’ exceptions to two orders dated August 31, 1999. The first order granted the Petition of Appellee Ronald W. Coombs (Executor) for Leave to Renounce Right of Administration of Specific Real Property pursuant to 20 Pa.C.S. � 3312. *fn1 The second order denied Appellants’ motion for a rule to show cause why the Executor should not be ordered to pay property taxes and be restrained from selling the property at issue. We affirm.

� 2 This case is procedurally and legally complex. Appellants are the plaintiffs in ongoing federal litigation regarding an allegedly contaminated parcel of land which was once owned by decedent William R. Coombs. *fn2 The property is located in Tionesta Borough, Forest County, Pennsylvania. Appellants have allegedly suffered physical harm as a result of contamination on the property.
