EXHIBIT "B"
LIFE ESTATE AGREEMENT
Through this General Warranty Deed, Doris J. Trammell ("Grantor") has conveyed to the City of
Fort Worth, Texas ("Grantee") a remainder interest in the Property, including all improvements thereon,
reserving a life estate in the Property for Doris J. Trammell. The life estate terminates upon the death of
Doris J. Trammell.
Grantor and Grantee wish to enter into this Life Estate Agreement to establish the rights and
responsibilities of each with respect to the Property.
During the term of the life estate, the Grantor, at its sole expense, shall:
a. Maintain the Property in good condition, including (1) the upkeep and repair of
improvements to protect the Property from loss of value and damage, (2) routine maintenance such as
mowing and landscaping maintenance, snow removal where applicable, painting, termite and other pest
prevention, and all other types of routine maintenance, (3) all minor and major repairs and capital
improvements, such as roof replacement and mechanical systems repairs and replacements, and (4) all other
actions in order to maintain the Property in compliance with all applicable codes, laws, regulations, and
ordinances. If the Property is damaged from any cause, the Grantor, at its sole expense, shall repair the
damage unless the Grantor and Grantee agree that it is impractical to do so, in which case any insurance
proceeds from insurance carried by the Grantor shall be divided between the Grantor and Grantee in
accordance with the percentages corresponding to each parties' interest in the Property as of the date of the
damage. For purposes of determining the interest of each party, the methodology used to value a remainder
interest in U. S. Treasury Regulations § 1.170A-7, or the successor regulation, shall be used;
b. Pay before delinquency all real estate taxes and any and all other assessments or
impositions against the Property. The Grantor shall deliver to Grantee at the address stated below copies of
paid tax and assessments receipts within 45 days after the due date. Without the prior written consent of
Grantee, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, the Grantor shall not voluntarily or
involuntarily defer the payment of taxes or assessments, notwithstanding any statutory or contractual right
of the Grantor to do so.
C. Pay water and sewer charges, utilities, and all other charges assessed against the Property;
d. Insure the Property against fire, vandalism, flood, windstorm, and other hazards and risks
through all risk property insurance in accordance with terms to be determined and agreed upon from time
to time by the Grantor and Grantee, but no less than 80% of the actual replacement cost of the Property,
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The Grantor shall provide Grantee with an annual certification
that the insurance described above is in effect and that the premiums have been paid. All insurance shall
be secured and maintained in a company or companies reasonably satisfactory to Grantee and shall be
primary and not contributory to that carried by Grantee. The all-risk property insurance policy shall name
Grantee as "an insured as its interest may appear." The Grantor shall secure an appropriate clause in, or an
endorsement upon, each policy of insurance, pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation
and rights of recovery or permits the insured to agree to waive any claim it might have against Grantee.
2. The Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, permit any lien,
encumbrance, or mortgage to be placed on the Property and shall not, without the prior written consent of
Grantee, permit the amount of any mortgage, encumbrance, or lien now existing to increase. The Grantor
shall, on or before each due date, make all payments on any existing mortgage, lien, or encumbrance. By
Contract of Sale and Purchase
8541 Shelby Lane Page 22 of 25
February 15 of each year, the Grantor shall deliver to Grantee a copy of the status of the mortgage, lien, or
encumbrance, if any, through December 31 of the prior year.
3. The Grantor has the sole right, during the life of Doris J. Trammell, to occupy the Property and
to lease the Property. The Grantor shall consult with Grantee before leasing the Property, and, unless
Grantee also signs the lease, the lease term shall automatically end, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the lease, no later than the end of the month in which the date of the termination of the life estate occurs.
The Grantor shall receive all rent from the Property during the life of Doris J. Trammell; Grantee shall
receive all rent from the Property from and after the date of death of the Grantor.
4. The Grantor shall consult with Grantee before making material changes to the use of the
Property. If the Property is currently occupied by the Grantor, the rental of the Property constitutes a
material change in the use of the Property.
5. If the Grantor is no longer able to maintain the Property as required by this Life Estate
Agreement, whether due to age, health issues, financial ability, or other reason, or if the Grantor wishes to
end its occupancy of the Property and does not wish lease out the Property in accordance with the preceding
section, then the Grantor may elect to convey to Grantee the balance of the Grantor's life estate.

statutory lien against the Property by reason of work, labor, services, or materials supplied to or at the
request of the Grantor. The Grantor shall pay and discharge any such mechanic's or materialman's lien filed
against the Property within twenty (20) days after the filing thereof. In no event shall the Grantor have the

or material or for any other charge or expense incurred in the repair, maintenance, construction, or alteration
of the Property or the improvements thereon.

TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION
Title insurance insures you against loss resulting from certain risks to your title.
The commitment for Title Insurance is the title insurance company's promise to issue the title insurance policy.
The commitment is a legal document. You should review it carefully to completely understand it before your
closing date.
El seguro de titulo le asegura en relaci6n a perdidas resultantes de ciertos riesgos que pueden afectar el titulo
de su propriedad.
El Compromiso para Seguro de Titulo es la promesa de la compania aseguradora de titulos de emitir la p6liza
de seguro de titulo. El Compromiso es un documento legal. Usted debe leerlo cuidadosamente y endenterlo
complemente antes de la fecha para finalizar su transacci6n.
Your Commitment for Title insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The Commitment is not an opinion
or report of your title. It is a contract to issue you a policy subject to the Commitment's terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title Insurance Policy (the Policy), the
Title Insurance Company (the Company) determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already
been made. Part of that determination involves the Company's decision to insure the title except for certain risks
that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as
Exceptions. Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be covered by the Policy. The
Policy is not an abstract of title nor does a Company have an obligation to determine the ownership of any mineral
interest.
--MINERALS AND MINERAL RIGHTS may not be covered by the Policy. The Company may be unwilling
to insure title unless there is an exclusion or an exception as to Minerals and Mineral Rights in the Policy. Optional
endorsements insuring certain risks involving minerals, and the use of improvements (excluding lawns, shrubbery
and trees) and permanent buildings may be available for purchase. If the title insurer issues the title policy with an
exclusion or exception to the minerals and mineral rights, neither this Policy, nor the optional endorsements,
insure that the purchaser has title to the mineral rights related to the surface estate.
Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is conditioned upon certain requirements
being met. Schedule C of the Commitment lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will
refuse to cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown in Schedules B and C of the Commitment with
an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy's Exceptions, Exclusions and Conditions,
defined below.
---EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not cover in a particular instance.
Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or discussed in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be
added if you do not comply with the Conditions section of the Commitment. When the Policy is issued, all
Exceptions will be on Schedule B of the Policy.
---EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover. Exclusions are contained in the
Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment.
---CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your coverage. Conditions include your
responsibilities and those of the Company. They are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the
Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment Conditions.

TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION
(Continued)
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the Texas Department of Insurance by calling the Title
Insurance Company at 1-800-442-7067 or by calling the title insurance agent that issued the Commitment. The
Texas Department of Insurance may revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the policy from the Texas Department of Insurance by calling
1-800-252-3439.
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the policy. Some of the changes to consider are:
---Request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception (Schedule B, paragraph 2). To get this
amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner's
Policy, you must pay an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to the Company
and if the Company's other requirements are met, your Policy will insure you against loss because of
discrepancies or conflicts in boundary lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of improvements.
The Company may then decide not to insure against specific boundary or survey problems by making special
exceptions in the Policy. Whether or not you request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception, you
should determine whether you want to purchase and review a survey if a survey is not being provided to you.
---Allow the Company to add an exception to "rights of parties in possession." If you refuse this exception,
the Company or the title insurance agent may inspect the property. The Company may except to and not
insure you against the rights of specific persons, such as renters, adverse owners or easement holders who
occupy the land. The Company may charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection,
you must sign a Waiver of Inspection form and allow the Company to add this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will not owe any additional premiums
unless you want to increase your coverage at a later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased Value
Endorsement.

(Title Insurance Information) (01/03/14)
DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner's Policy)
ARBITRATION is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to
settle a dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to
take the Title Insurance Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration
process. In addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to require
arbitration if the amount of insurance is $2,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right to sue the
Company in case of a dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration provision before
the policy is issued. You can do this by signing this form and returning it to the Company at or before the
closing of your real estate transaction or by writing to the Company.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration
pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Land Title Association ("Rules"). Except as
provided in the Rules, there shall be no joinder or consolidation with claims or controversies of other persons.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the
Insured arising out of or relating to this policy, any service in connection with its issuance or the breach of a
policy provision, or to any other controversy or claim arising out of the transaction giving rise to this policy. All
arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is $2,000,000 or less shall be arbitrated at the option of
either the Company or the Insured, unless the Insured is an individual person (as distinguished from an
Entity). All arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $2,000,000 shall be arbitrated only
when agreed to by both the Company and the Insured. Arbitration pursuant to this policy and under the Rules
shall be binding upon the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in
any court of competent jurisdiction."

It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the voluntary acquisition of a fee simple interest in land and improvements, with reservation of a life estate, in Lot 2R, Block

4. Dedicate the property as parkland as an addition to the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge upon termination of the life estate.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the acquisition of land and improvements, with reservation of a life
estate, to provide additional special use parkland at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge (FWNCR).
The Lakeland Addition is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by the FWNCR. There are currently fourteen privately owned properties
within this neighborhood area.
Over the past several years, the City has been acquiring properties in the Lakeland Subdivision as they have become available. As the City has
acquired the properties, they have been integrated into the FWNCR as endorsed in the Nature Center Master Plan, approved by City Council on
June 17, 2003, in M&C G-13998.
Staff recently identified that the property that is the subject of this M&C in the Lakeland Addition is available for purchase. This property is an
improved residential lot. Integration of this property is essential for the future development of the FWNCR. The property is further described as
follows:
Owner Legal Description Purchase Closing Total
Price Costs
Doris Lot 2R, Block 6, Lakeland Addition, 8541 $325,000.00 $10,000.00 $335,000.00
Trammell Shelby Lane, Fort Worth, Texas 76135
An independent appraisal was obtained to establish the fair market value of this property. The owner has agreed to sell the property and
improvements, with reservation of a life estate, in the amount of $325,000.00. The real estate taxes will continue to be paid for by the seller until
the termination of the life estate. The City will pay Buyer closing costs up to $10,000.00. There will be no assistance of relocation allowance or
moving costs to the seller as this is a voluntary sale.
Funding is budgeted in the Park & Recreation Department's General Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding the FWNCR - 8541
Shelby Lane project (City Project No: 105734), as appropriated.
Upon City Council approval, staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interest, subject to the life estate. Upon fee simple acquisition, and
after termination of the life estate, any remaining structures will be scheduled for demolition through the Environmental Services Department.
The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Capital Projects
Fund for the FWNCR - 8541 Shelby Lane project to support the approval of the above recommendations and land acquisition. The financial
records of the City will be updated to reflect this dedication based upon the Capital Assets Policy contained within the Financial Management
Policy Statements. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of
funds.
