Waggaman Estate Litigation Moves Against Woodley Property
The District Supreme Court ordered certificates of indebtedness to fund taxes while receivers manage the Woodley estate from the Waggaman case. Receivers plan early issuance of up to 20000 in revolver certificates to conserve assets, with funds used for taxes and potential tax redemptions from sales. The suit, among the largest in DC courts, seeks to set aside a deed of trust for Catholic University and may force pro rata distribution among creditors. Attorneys declined to forecast end dates for the litigation.
