SCHALOW PETITION FOR AUTHORITY TO COMPROMISE CLAIM The Petition of ERIC M. SCHORR, Administrator of the Succession of DR. FRANK H. SCHALOW, of the full age of majority and domiciled in the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, respectfully represents that: I. Decedent, DR. FRANK H. SCHALOW, died on May 25, 2024 while domiciled in the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. Decedent died intestate, and Decedent was never married, and he had no children whatsoever, nor did he ever adopt anyone. ERIC M. SCHORR was appointed and confirmed as Administrator of this Succession on November 19, 2024. II. BRITTANY TUCKER and EILEAN “POPPY” MACKENZIE filed a Proof of Claim in this matter on June 17, 2025, seeking reimbursement for $6,830.58 in connection with the care they provided for the Decedent’s approximately three dozen cats following his death. III. While the Administrator feels the claim does not constitute an enforceable debt of the Decedent’s estate, the heirs, who have been thus far identified, acknowledge and appreciate the care that Ms. Tucker and Ms. Mackenzie provided to the Decedent’s pets, and they desire to further relieve the cost of contesting the claim that would be expected by the Administrator. As such, the Administrator and the heirs to this Succession agree and aver that Ms. Tucker and Ms. Mackenzie should be reimbursed from the Decedent’s estate for the amount stated in their Proof of Claim. IV. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 3198 and 3229 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, subject to the approval of this Honorable Court, a settlement has been agreed upon by and among the Parties. V. Petitioner avers that this compromise is in the best interest of the Succession to avoid the protracted cost and delays of litigation, and the possibility that the outcome would be unfavorable to the Succession. WHEREFORE, Petitioner, ERIC M. SCHORR, as Administrator of the SUCCESSION OF DR. FRANK H. SCHALOW, prays that after due proceedings, Petitioner be authorized and directed, on behalf of the SUCCESSION OF DR. FRANK H. SCHALOW, to effectuate the compromise and agreement by and among the parties to satisfy the reimbursement claim by BRITTANY TUCKER and EILEAN “POPPY” MACKENZIE.
