Subject: Fwd: Scheduling a call
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 04:33:36 +0000
I'm inclined to write a strong letter to Harry saying that it is indeed urgent, there is time pressure, with a few
words explaining why (I already have done this to some extent).
What do you think?

Yes, I have a copy of the trust and I understand the procedure for selecting a trustee to replace Max should that
become necessary.
Can you say more about why it is imperative for us to speak to each other this week in particular? Is the topic of
the call simply to consider the possibility of seeking a different co-trustee? If so, Pm not sure where the time
pressure is coming from.
If you need to tell me something and don't want to wait until I have established a relationship with a new
attorney who can assist me during a call, perhaps you could send me the urgent information by e-mail.

Harry,
Even though I do not represent you I would like to facilitate your understanding of the terms of the trust which
are very straightforward relative to your appointment duties. Please let me know if you have a copy of the trust
that contains the appointment powers. In the interest of moving your father's desires forward may we please
schedule a call for this week. It is imperative that we do so for a number of reasons which I can explain when
we speak.

Deborah, I'd like to offer an update on my preparation for the call we are considering. I am still looking for a
professional who can advise me during the call. I hope to write to you again with more concrete information
soon.

Thank you Max for the clarification.

Deborah, I'd be happy to talk to you about the question of who should serve as my co-trustee. I would
need guidance from someone who is an expert in trust law and administration. Since Max cannot fill that
role in this particular conversation, I will need to find another professional to advise me. I will begin my
search process right away. When I have found someone, I will send a message of introduction to both of
you and we can begin looking for a time that we can all talk.
I will get back in touch with you soon.
— Harry

Thank you Max. I did not feel it necessary to include the fact that a successor that is agreeable to Harry
and Noam needs to be appointed as I felt that to be obvious since Harry has the appointment power
subject to Noam's approval.
Harry now that Max has offered this clarification please send me your availability to talk at a mutually
convenient time on Monday and Tuesday.
Thank you,
Deborah

Harry and Deborah —
I am not sure how this misunderstanding has arisen but what I said to Harry and Rich in our call on Monday and
what I said again to Deborah and Rich yesterday is not fully captured by the statement that "Your father has
asked Max Kohlenberg to resign and he has agreed." What I said in both of those calls is that I have agreed
to resign if Noam and Harry wish to name a successor to me and are in agreement as to who that successor
should be.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear up this misunderstanding.

I have not heard from Max that he has decided to resign. The last time I was told (by Noam, citing
Richard) that Max had decided to resign, it was not the case.
Max, will you please clarify your intentions?
