[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9101560, member: 8461"] It's been a few months, and although the trial is over, things are still happening! [LIST] [*]On July 14th, Rob Kuntz made a claim against the estate for "physical property" as described in documents that were submitted to the court (and are, unfortunately, unavailable from the public website). [*]Pursuant to a notice that was issued on July 10th, there was a motion hearing held on August 10th. Attended by attorneys Gorn (for Luke Gygax), Johnson (for Gail Gygax), and Koch (the personal representative for Gary's estate), this was presumably with regard to the aforementioned notice allowing Koch to sell off portions of the estate. The court signed an order that had been proposed, and there was a brief discussion of the schedule before a notation was made that a claimant had not been notified, with attorney Koch to notify the claimant via email. A subsequent hearing is scheduled for September 26th. [*]Interestingly, attorney Koch also requested a hearing back on July 26th, and five days later a notice was made that there would be a hearing held on August 16th. Currently, however, no such hearing is shown on the docket; perhaps the August 10th meeting preempted the need for it? [*]On August 11th, the court issued an order approving the motion of the personal representative (i.e. attorney Koch) to produce and sell assets from the estate. [/LIST] So at this point, the major takeaways are 1) that pieces of Gary's estate are going to be sold off, presumably to raise revenue sufficient to deal with the "issues" previously mentioned with regard to the IRS, and 2) that Rob Kuntz is filing a claim for certain property that's part of the estate. With regard to Kuntz's claim, my guess (and it's only a guess) is that this has to do with certain aspects of the game he ran for Gary (i.e. El Raja Key/Kalibruhn) and/or things that he might have contributed/made for the campaign that Gary ran for him (and several others, i.e. the original World of Greyhawk). He's actually written about this on several occasions, most recently in [URL='https://threelinestudiostore.company.site/THE-RETURN-OF-ROBILAR-p570182683'][I]The Return of Robilar[/I][/URL], which is a [I]fascinating[/I] glimpse into the earliest years of the hobby.
