Chapter 15 - The Creek Tract SettlementMonths later the Foster trust and Kendrick Family Holdings reached a civil settlement.
Purchase price:
$4.05 million.
Supported by independent valuation.
Kendrick’s secured debt was paid from the sale proceeds.
Unsupported maintenance reimbursements were offset against the settlement.
After taxes, fees, and debt payoff, Evelyn received far less than the amount she expected from a $5.6 million transaction.
Enough to avoid total financial collapse.
Not enough to preserve the life she had tried to protect through deception.
Foster Ridge acquired the creek tract.
No windfall.
No revenge price.
Fair value.
