: BEFORE THE REGISTER OF WILLS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
ESTATE OF GLADYS V. SMEAL
DECEASED
: NO 21-07-0548
DECREE OF REGISTER OF WILLS
AND NOW, this 14th day of June, 2007, upon review ofthe original Will of Gladys V. Smeal,
submitted for probate on June 5, 2007, which original Will contained numerous deletions and
interlineations, as well as upon review of a Copy Fair of the Will of Gladys V. Smeal, filed on June 8,
2007, the Register of Wills finds the following with regard to the Estate of Gladys V. Smeal:
The Register shall admit for Probate Items I, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, IX, and X as presented in the
Copy Fair of the Will, which items are identical to those contained within the original Will of Gladys V.
Smeal.
With regard to Item II of the Copy Fair, the same shall be admitted for Probate with discussion:
specifically, as the original Will contains an apparent deletion of this item with subsequent ,
interlineatio~s, some having been p~ove~ by ~ignature. of the Testator and others nO~g.,P~ove~:and as
the Copy Fan does not address the mterlmeatlOns, whIch proven ones only seem to ex'p1am th<;~ason
for the deletion, the Register shall accept Item II of the Copy Fair for Probate and, accgrl!inglwshall
note that Item II shall be considered as deleted for purposes of Probate. wi
With regard to Item VI of the Copy Fair, the same shall not be admitted for PrQpate inlhat the
Register believes such Item VI as presented in the Copy Fair substantially changes th~ntent ot:"the
Testator. Moreover, Item VI ofthe original Will was never specifically deleted by the Testat~d any
interlineations that might arguably affect to whom Letters are issued appear at the end of the original
Will rather than directly after Item VI, some having been proven by signature of the Testator and others
not so proven. Accordingly Item VI of the Copy Fair shall not be admitted for Probate; rather, Item VI
of the original Will shall be admitted to Probate.
Finally, as the surviving named Executor of the Estate of Gladys V. Smeal, Ron Baminger, of
Enola, Pennsylvania, has renounced his duties as the personal representative of the Estate and nominated
in his stead Eugene Hetzel, the Register of Wills, in her discretion, shall issue Letters of Administration
Cum Testamento Annexo (C.T.A.) to Eugene Hetzel to faithfully administer the Estate of Gladys V.
Smeal in accordance with this Decree.
