and grounds line is over budget, but overall maintenance costs are on target. Transfers show how we are getting
our financial support.

MOTION FOR VIEWING OF DISPUTED ESTATE ASSET LOCATED AT
2135 JUNEWAY TERRACE AND INCORPORATED BRIEF IN SUPPORT
Corrie now the Plaintiffs herein, and move that the Court Personally and physically view the
disputed estate asset located at 2135 Juneway Terrace, and in support of their motion, state, allege
and incorporate the [Mowing brief in support:
I. INTRODUCTION
At issue in this case is the fair market value of certain real property, and the improvements
thereon, at the time that separate defendants Tracy and Rebeecallutchens purchased property located
at 2135 Juneway Terrace from Julius D. Gaudet, Jr., as Personal Representative of the Estate of
2.1
Bernice Helen Dunaway, deceased. While testimony, appraisals, market analysis, photographs, and
other documentary evidence will be presented a( trial as to the fair market value o ['the estate property
at the time of the sale and purchase based upon the location, character, size, layout and floorplan,
among other aspects of the home and real property, the compilation of that evidence cannot give a
fully comprehensible presentation of the state or condition of the subject and disputed real property
and improvements thereon. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court, the
respective parties and the experts view the home at an agreed upon and scheduled date and time.
H. AUTHORITIES AND ARGUMENT
Judges have a right to personally view the real property when the parties have presented
conflicting testimony concerning it. Clay rv. posit 238 Ark. 604, 606, 383 S.W.2d 304, 5.05 (1964).
In the case of Citv of Fayetteville v. Stone, the Arkansas Supreme Court held:
After the trial court had heard the testimony in the case, he personally
inspected the property alleged to have been damaged, and it is argued
that the view by the Court was not of itself sufficient to enable it to
determine tlic damage. While this may be true, the viers' made by the
Court was proper in that it was thus enabled to understand and
analyze the testimony of the witnesses with respect to the situation.
194 Ark. 2I8, 106 S,W.2r1158 (1937). Moreover, in Potter v. Bryan Funeral home. the Arkansas
Supreme Corot explained, "[wjltile personal inspections of property are permissible and proper as
an aid to abetter understanding by the Chancellor of what witnesses had testified to, such views are
limited to that purpose and the Judge's personal observations on the sitc are not considered evidence
of facts." 307 Ark. 142, 146, 817 S.W.2d 882, 884 (1991); accord Newbern &Watkins, 2 Ark.
Practice Series (Civil Procedure and Practice §28:12 (4`s cd.) explaining that "with prior notice to
the panics, a Judge in a bench trial niay undertake a view as an aid to understanding the evidence
2
22
presented, but his otter personal observations ofthc site are not considered evidence and should not
be included in the record."
In light of the propriety o C a personal inspection or certain properly by a Court sitting as the
trier of fact, the Plainti Ills respectfully request that this Court schedule and attend a viewing of the
subject real property and improvements [.hereon as a means oi'better understanding the testimony
which will be presented 1.n it at trial. As stated above, although testimony, appraisals, photographs
market analyses, and other documents will be presented to the trier of fact as evidence at trial, the
Court will gain a much gteaker ttricleistanding and perspective of the evidence presented to it by
personally viewing the subject property in dispute. Lastly, the disputed property at 2135 Juneway
Ten -ace is under three (3) rniles in distance from the Court's location and, as such, can be visited and
viewed by the Court without extensive investment of time. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs respectfully
request that this Court gran[ its Motion for Viewing of Disputed Estate Asset Located at 2135
Juneway Terrace in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
In. CONCLUSION
Plaintiffs acknowledge that they are not entitled by right to have tilt Com rt conduct a viewing,
and that such viewing does not constitute evidence. However, it is conclusively accepted in
Arkansas jurisprudence that a Court, in order to better understand and analyze the iestirnnny and
other evidence presented, may view disputed property. '.These circumstances compel the conclusion
that a fully informed judicial opinion necessitates the Court's personal view of the sole asset of Ms.
Dunaway's estate which, by testate succession, has been bequeathed upon the two estate
beneficiaries and plaintiffs herein — the Fayetteville Public Library Foundation and St. Paul's
Episcopal Church.
3
23
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray that this Court exercise its discretion prior to presentation of
the evidence to view the subject and disputed real property and improvements so that it can better
understand the significant evidence that will be submitted to it at the trial of this cause.

Please note this new trial date on your calendars: October 3 and 4. 2012. Counsel for the other
parties would riot agree to mediation but the judge did gram our motion for a short con€inuance
(which we needed due to a conflict b the schedules of some of our witnesses).
