I, RICHARD H. KEANE, a resident of Dauphin Cou~y, -
_~ --l ..
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, d~
o
make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils by me at any time
previously made.
ITEM I: All inheritance, estate and
similar taxes becoming due by reason of my death ("Death
Taxes"), whether such Death Taxes shall be payable by my estate
or by any recipient of any property, shall be paid by my
Executor first out of the property passing under ITEM IV of this
Will as an expense and cost of administration of my estate. My
Executor shall have no duty or obligation to obtain
reimbursement for any Death Taxes paid by my Executor, even
though paid with respect to proceeds of insurance or other
property not passing under this Will.
ITEM II: I hereby exercise all powers of
appointment which I may have at the time of my death in favor of
my Executor, and all property subject to all such powers of
appointment shall be included in my estate and be governed by
the provisions of this Will.
ITEM III: I give and bequeath all of my
household furniture and furnishings, automobiles, books,
pictures, jewelry, china, crystal, appliances, silverware,
wearing apparel and all other like articles of household or
personal use or adornment to my living children in as nearly
equal shares as they shall select under the supervision of my
Executor. Any conflicting choices shall be resolved by drawinq
lots. Any such articles not so selected or which cannot be
fairly divided or distributed in kind in the opinion of my
Executor shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and the proceeds
thereof shall pass as a part of my residuary estate.
ITEM IV: I give, devise and bequeath all of
the rest, residue and remainder of my property, real, personal
and mixed, wherever situate, not disposed of in the preceding
portions of this Will, to my living issue, per stirpes.
ITEM V: No interest in income or principal
of my estate shall be subject to attachment, levy or seizure by
any creditor, spouse, assignee or trustee or receiver in
bankruptcy of any beneficiary of my estate prior to the
beneficiary's actual receipt thereof. My Executor shall pay
over the net income and the principal to the beneficiaries
herein designated, as their interests may appear, without regard
to any attempted anticipation (except as may be specifically
provided herein), pledging or assignment by any beneficiary of
my estate and without regard to any claim thereto or attempted
levy, attachment, seizure or other process against said
beneficiary.
ITEM VI: Any person who shall have died at
the same time as I or under such circumstances that it is
difficult or impossible to determine who shall have died first
shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
ITEM VII: In the settlement of my estate, my
Executor shall possess, in addition to those powers conferred by
law, the following powers to be exercised, without authority
from any court, for the best interests of the beneficiaries:
(a) To retain any investments I may have at my death
so long as my Executor may deem it advisable to my estate
or trust so to do.
Page 2 of 5 pages
(b) To vary investments, when deemed desirable by my
Executor, and to invest in such bonds, stocks, notes, real
estate mortgages or other securities or in such other real
or personal property as my Executor shall deem wise,
without being restricted to so called "legal investments."
(c) In order to effect a division of the principal of
my estate or for any other purpose, including any final
distribution of my estate, my Executor is authorized to
make said divisions or distributions of the personalty and
realty partly or wholly in kind. If such division or
distribution is made in kind, said assets shall be divided
or distributed at their respective values on the date or
dates of their division or distribution. In making any
division or distribution in kind, my Executor shall divide
or distribute said assets in a manner which will fairly
allocate any unrealized appreciation or depreciation among
the beneficiaries.
(d) To sell either at public or private sale and upon
such terms and conditions as my Executor may deem
advantageous to my estate, any or all real or personal
property or interest therein owned by my estate severally
or in conjunction with other persons, and to consummate
said sale or sales by sufficient deeds or other instruments
to the purchaser or purchasers, conveying a fee simple
title, free and clear of all trust and without obligation
or liability of the purchaser or purchasers to see to the
application of the purchase money or to make inquiry into
the validity of said sale or sales; also, to make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all deeds, assignments,
options or other writings which may be necessary or
desirable in carrying out any of the powers conferred upon
my Executor in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Will.
(e) To mortgage or pledge real or personal property
owned by my estate and to make leases of real or personal
property for any term.
(f) To borrow money from any party, including my
Executor, to pay indebtedness of mine or of my estate,
expenses of administration, Death Taxes, other taxes or for
any other purpose.
(g) To pay all costs, Death Taxes, other taxes,
legally enforceable debts, expenses and charges in
connection with the administration of my estate, the
expenses of my last illness and my funeral expenses.
Page 3 of 5 pages
(h) To vote any shares of stock which form a part of
my estate and to otherwise exercise all the powers incident
to the ownership of such stock and to hold and actively
manage and operate any unincorporated business, including
any sole proprietorship, joint venture and partnership,
with all the rights and powers of any owner thereof.
(i) In the discretion of my Executor, to unite with
other owners of similar property in carrying out any plans
for the reorganization of any corporation or company whose
securities form a part of my estate.
(j) To assign to and hold in my estate an undivided
portion of any asset.
(k) To hold investments in the name of a nominee.
(1) To abandon, compromise, settle, arbitrate, payor
otherwise deal with claims in favor of or against my
estate.
(m) To select, employ and compensate any person, firm
or corporation engaged in rendering investment counsel
advice to advise my Executor in making investments,
managing securities or making decisions concerning the
purchase, retention, sale or other disposition of any part
of my estate; and to select, employ and compensate any
attorney, accountant, broker or other specialist or firm
thereof to render services to my Executor with respect to
my estate.
ITEM VIII:
In the settlement of my estate My
Executor shall not be personally liable for any loss to my
estate or to any beneficiary of my estate resulting from any
decision or election made by my Executor in good faith; nor, as
a result of any such decision or election, shall any
compensating adjustments be made.
ITEM IX:
I hereby nominate my daughter,
BARBARA A. SIECK, to be the Executor of my estate. If for any
reason she should fail or cease to act, I nominate my son,
RICHARD P. KEANE, to be my Executor. If for any reason he
should fail or cease to act, I nominate my son, STEVEN M. KEANE,
Page 4 of 5 pages
to be my Executor. All references in this Will to my ~Executor"
shall also refer to any Executrix and to any successor Executor.
ITEM X: Any Executor shall qual~fy and
serve without the duty or obligation of filing any bond or other
security. Any Executor shall not be surcharged or otherwise
held liable under any prudent investor statute or otherwise
except for gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing.
ITEM XI: In the event that for any reason
on the date of any distribution of income or principal from my
estate there is not a beneficiary thereof, then such
distribution shall be made to such persons, and in such
proportions, as would be entitled to my estate had I then died
intestate, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
seal and do hereby declare this instrument to be my Last Will
and Testament, this~ ~ day of J iJ ;V---E ' 2005.
