HARRISON, SR. I, FREDERICK L. HARRISON, SR., of 26 Wheatfield Drive, Carlisle, l.__~ Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to. be my Last Will and Testament, l4 hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST ~ I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts, f funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate ~ as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. I direct my Executor to pay all inheritance, estate, succession and legacy taxes, to which my estate or the transfer of any property hereunder may be subject, and to charge such taxes as part of the expenses of the administration of my estate, being deducted and paid from the residue of my estate and not to be deducted in any manner from any specific bequests made herein. However, my Executor need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my ExecutorlExecutrix, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a 200 N. Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law Page 1 of 8 100 Lincoln Way East, Suite D Chambersburg, PA 17201 burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose. SECOND I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate to my daughter, LINDA L. HORN, provided she survives me by sixty (60) days. I direct my ExecutorlExecutrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my ExecutorlExecutrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. THIRD I have specifically not provided for any distribution of my estate to my children, CATHERINE L. JOHNSON, FREDERICK L. HARRISON, JR. and SHARON L. HARRISON, not out of want of affection, but because I have provided for them during 200 N. Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law Page 2 of 8 100 Lincoln Way East, Suite D Chambersburg, PA 17201 p f ~ my lifetime as I desired. It is my specific instruction and desire that there be no additional distribution from my estate to my named children. FOURTH Should my daughter, LINDA L. HORN, predecease me or die on or before the sixtieth (60) day following my death, then I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my son-in-law, BARRY J. HORN, provided he survives me by sixty (60) days, per stirpes. I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. FIFTH I grant my Executor/Executrix the following powers in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my Executor/Executrix shall hold by law: 200 N. Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law Page 3 of 8 100 Lincoln Way East, Suite D Chambersburg, PA 17201 i (a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive.
