In a gripping legal confrontation, the administrators of an estate are taking a stand against unpaid debts owed to a deceased entrepreneur's business. Kayla Burns and Allison Noel Burns, acting as administrators of the Estate of Robert Todd Kremer, filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on an unspecified date against Sonia Varasso.
The case centers around BK Electric, LLC, a company solely owned by the late Robert Todd Kremer. According to the complaint, Sonia Varasso received electrical services from BK Electric between April 2024 and August 2024 at her property located at 1500 Bingham Street in Pittsburgh. The plaintiffs allege that Varasso has failed to pay for these services, which total $10,073.26. Despite repeated requests for payment following Kremer's death on October 4, 2024, Varasso has allegedly refused to settle the outstanding invoices.
Kayla Burns and Allison Noel Burns were granted Letters of Administration on November 14, 2024, empowering them to manage Kremer's estate and pursue any claims necessary to settle his affairs. They argue that Varasso's refusal to pay constitutes a breach of contract and is seeking judgment from the court for the full amount owed plus interest and costs. The plaintiffs emphasize that they have made multiple attempts to collect the debt but have been met with willful noncompliance from Varasso.
The plaintiffs are representing themselves pro se in this matter and are requesting that the court enter judgment in their favor for $10,073.26 along with any additional relief deemed appropriate by the court. This could include interest accrued on the unpaid balance as well as legal costs incurred during this process.
Representing themselves without legal counsel presents its own challenges; however, Kayla Burns and Allison Noel Burns remain determined to see justice served on behalf of Kremer’s estate. The case highlights issues surrounding unpaid debts after an individual's passing and underscores the responsibilities faced by estate administrators in settling such matters.
The case is set to be heard before a board of arbitrators at the Compulsory Arbitration Center in Pittsburgh if Varasso files a written response within twenty days of being served with notice. Should she fail to respond or appear at the hearing scheduled for 2025 at 9:00 am, judgment may be entered against her by default.
This case is being overseen by judges within Allegheny County’s Court of Common Pleas under Case No. CVPDD008S350F043, although specific judge names were not mentioned in available documents.
