STANDARD TRUST LIMITED PLUNDERS ESTATE LATE MMM PLUMLEY

For the past eight and a half years, we as a family have been given the runaround by Standard Trust Limited since the passing of first my uncle and then my aunt.

The following communique is merely one on a dozen e-mails that have been addressed to Mr Danie Du Toit (the executor) and before leaving Standard Trust Limited, Ms Penny Bibby (MD) who has now been replaced with Ms Leteane Matlhodi.

Herewith the following: -

Further to both our telecon and your e-mail of 6 October 2022, where you confirmed that both copies of the Letter of Executorships were forwarded to the solicitors in both Portugal and the UK and that you were struggling to receive response from them. It has now been a month and we have not been given the courtesy of any feedback from yourself on this matter, besides an insulting generic brochure from your Marketing Department on the Administration Process of an Executor. Surely after taking part in this rodeo with STL for the past 8 and a half years; it is nothing but INSULTING to our intelligence to forward the beneficiaries such tripe.

We now demand to know what the value is of both the investment account in the UK is and that of the Portuguese properties? Surely this has been ascertained since you received your legal executorship? Should this not be done by close of business on Tuesday, 8 November 2022, both the Law Society and the Ombudsman will get the entire portfolio of how STL has allowed this estate to be plundered by STL staff, i.e. Leon Jacobs, the Late Ellen Nel, Gillian Venter, Johann Ardendorf, to name but a few greedy culprits and who all suddenly disappeared off the STL payroll as well. Ms Bibby played an enormous role in this too and then vanished … woosh!

We are all fully aware of the interest shown in the Portuguese properties by certain beneficiaries. They need to pay across the value as with a normal purchase once you provide us with an amount to deliberate over.

Also, STL needs to to account for the differences in the Late Mr V Plumley's Estate and the incorrect opening balance for the Late MMM Plumley's estate, especially as STL, i.e. Late Ellen Nel, was the executor for both Mr V Plumley's estate as well as Mrs MMM Plumley's estate too and would have been aware of ALL assets, bank accounts etc. and appears extremely suspicious of her not being able to account for the differences and have a completely incorrect opening balance.

We are aware that 2 of the family members have shown interest in purchasing the properties in Portugal from the estate and we urgently request the following from the solicitor in Portugal;

1] Current valuation on each property

2] Breakdown of any fees payable to the authorities to effect transfer

3] Breakdown of fees to effect transfer of the properties.

Who were the beneficiaries that worked together with Leon Jacobs and Ellen Nel when drawing up the asset register for the Late Mr V Plumley? This too applies to the Late Mrs MMM Plumley's asset register. It is during these times that it appears that the "incorrect accounting" came into play. Why were all the beneficiaries not asked to contribute to what assets they may have been aware of?

LDA of Late V Plumley's opening balance is R29,141,972.07. MMM Plumley inherited R25,475,264.87. WHY is STL's opening balance R16,335,718.27 There is a shortfall of R3,666.707.20 and this is just between his death and hers!

Mr Du Toit, this has now been a year since all the "big guns" from STL agreed to a virtual meeting with the beneficiaries of Estate Late MMM PLUMLEY and since then NOTHING expeditious has happened from your end.

Coming together as beneficiaries this past weekend, we are now demanding an advance on the UK investment of which you have full knowledge of the amount. This we would like paid to us by the close of business on Friday, 11 November 2022. Please do not give us any drivel about not knowing what this amount is, as you and Ms Matlhodi will personally be held legally liable for inappropriate conduct in the late estate of MMM PLUMLEY, which you've had in your clutches for over EIGHT years.

FOR AND BEHALF OF THE BENEFICIARIES Estate Late MMM Plumley
