II __ 0 WILL I, Marie M. Gibson, of Enola, East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17025, declare this to be my last will and revoke any will or Codicil previously made by me. ITEM I. I give all my automobiles, and all other articles of personal and household use, together with all insurance relating thereto, in equal shares, to my children, John H. Gibson, Jr., Anna J. Henry, and Dennis F. Gibson, if they survive me by thirty days. If any of my children do not so survive me, then that child's share shall be added to the share or shares for my other children. ITEM II. I give all the residue of my estate, real and personal, to my children, John H. Gibson, Jr., Anna J. Henry, and Dennis F. Gibson, provided that they survive me by thirty (30) days; if any child does not so survive me, then that child's share shall be added to the share or shares for my other chi~~en. -., ITEM III. -<: No interest in income or principal$~lJ.G)be ---', assignable by, or available to, anyone having a claimag~in~ a beneficiary before actual payment to the beneficiary.;' ,-.. - ITEM IV. My personal representative, hereinafter named, is directed to pay all my just debts, funeral and testamentary Page 1 of 5 pages expenses, including taxes, out of the principal of my residuary estate as soon after my death as may be practicable. All federal, state, and other death taxes payable on the property forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not it passes under this Will, shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary estate just as if they were my debts, and none of those taxes shall be charged against any beneficiary. ITEM v. I authorize my executor: A. to retain and to invest in all forms of real and personal property, regardless of (i) any limitations imposed by law on investments by executors or trustees, (ii) any principle of law concerning delegation of investment responsibility by executors or trustees, or (iii) any principle of law concerning investment diversification; B. to compromise claims and to abandon any property which, in my executor's opinion, is of little or no value; to borrow from, and to sell property to others, and to pledge property as security for repayment of any funds borrowed; c. to sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to lease for any period of time any real or personal property, and to give options for sales or leases; Page 2 of 5 pages D. to join in any merger, reorganization, voting-trust plan or other concerted action of security holders, and to delegate discretionary duties with respect thereto; E. to use administrative or other expenses of my estate as income tax or estate tax deductions and to value my estate for tax purposes by any optional method permitted by the law in force when I die, without requiring adj ustments between income and principal for any resulting effect on income or estate taxes; and F. to distribute IN KIND and to allocate specific assets among the beneficiaries in such proportions as my executor may think best, so long as the total market value of any beneficiary's share is not affected by such allocation. These authorities shall extend to all real and personal property at any time held by my executor and shall continue in full force until the actual distribution of all such property. All powers, authorities, and discretion granted by this will shall be in addition to those granted by law and shall be exercisable without leave of court. ITEM VI. I appoint my son, under this Will. Should my son, John H. Gibson, Jr., executor John H. Gibson, Jr., fail to qualify or cease to act as executor, I appoint my son, Dennis F. Page 3 of 5 pages Gibson, executor under this Will. No personal representative appointed hereunder shall be required to give bond or furnish sureties in any jurisdiction. ITEM VII. The term "executor" or any pronoun used to indicate the executor, any other fiduciary or any beneficiary shall be deemed to apply to one or more than one person or corporation and to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender as the case may be.
