L.)
I, Else Mary Colbert, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, m~';Jl.ublis~land
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore'maBe bynie. I
live with my husband who retired from the military service of the United States. .. f''':'
FIRST: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the expenses m the
administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect to property included in
my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my
residuary estate, without apportionment and with no right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property.
SECOND: It is my desire that, upon my death, my body be cremated.
THIRD: I give all real estate owned by me at the time of my death, and all rights that I have
under any related insurance policies, to my husband George Donald Colbert, if he survives me.
FOURTH: I give all tangible personal property owned by me at the time of my death, including
without limitation personal effects, clothing, jewelry, furniture, furnishings, household goods, automobiles and other
vehicles, together with all insurance policies relating thereto, to my husband George Donald Colbert, if he survives
me, or if he does not survive me, to my son Preben Arne Nielsen, if he survives me.
FIFTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and
personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time
of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows:
(a) If my husband George Donald Colbert survives me, to my husband outright.
(b) If my husband does not survive me, then to my son if he survives me.
(c) If my husband does not survive me and my son is not living, my residuary estate shall be paid
and distributed to Ashley M. Nielsen if she shall survive me.
(d) If none of the beneficiaries described above shall survive me, then I give my residuary estate
to those who would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the
absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
SIXTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute ownership in a minor or incompetent, my
Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the whole or any part of such property to the
beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or
distribute the whole or any part to a guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a
custodian for the beneficiary under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with
whom the beneficiary resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed by the person to
whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of my Executor from any liability with respect thereto, even
though my Executor may be such person. If such beneficiary is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of
the whole or any part of such property until the beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, and may hold
the same as a separate fund for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article EIGHTH hereof. If the
beneficiary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the beneficiary.
'lc< 0~ ({;0 '& cJv{k Wt
SEVENTH: I appoint my husband George Donald Colbert to be my Executor. I direct that no
Executor shall be required to file or furnish any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction.
EIGHTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred on executors under the Pennsylvania
Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as amended, or any successor thereto, and all powers conferred upon
executors wherever my Executor may act. I also grant to my Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale,
exchange, grant options on, invest and reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for
cash or on credit; to borrow money and encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to divide and distribute
property in cash or in kind; to exercise all powers of an absolute owner of property; to compromise and release
claims with or without consideration; and to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice.
The term "Executor" wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office
from time to time.
NINTH: I direct that for purposes of this will a beneficiary shall be deemed to predecease me
unless such beneficiary survives me by more than thirty days. The terms "child" and "children", as used in this will,
include only the child and children of the person designated, but not any adopted child and children of such person.
The term "issue" includes only the children and other issue of the person designated, but not any adopted children or
issue of such person. The terms "child", "children" and "issue" of the Testatrix shall not include any stepchild of the
Testatrix.
TENTH: Except as otherwise provided in this will, I have intentionally failed to provide for any
other relatives or other persons, whether claiming to be an heir of mine or not. Insofar as I have failed to provide in
the will for any of my issue now living or later born or adopted, such failure is intentional and not occasioned by
accident or mistake. If any person named as a beneficiary under this will institutes a will contest, acts as a party to a
will contest initiated by someone else, or aids and abets anyone instituting a will contest, I direct that any bequest,
devise, or share of my residuary estate that would otherwise go to that person shall lapse, as if he had predeceased
me.
ELEVENTH: I may leave a letter of intent with the executed copy of this Will for the purpose of
giving guidance to my Executor concerning the distribution or sale of certain items of my property. I request, but do
not require that my Executor honor my wishes therein expressed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF/A Else Ma~bert, sign my name and publish and declare this
instrument as my last will and testament this & day of _ ,2002. I also have affixed my signature on
the bottom of each of the preceding pages hereof.
This document was prepared under the authority of 10 US.c. ~ 1044 and implementing military
regulations and instructions, by Robert E. Samuelsen II, who is licensed to practice law in the State of Minnesota.

Also, enclosed please find a copy of the two forms we had discussed on the phone in

Administration information, a brochure and instruction booklet on completing the REV

Dear Ms Strasbaugh,
After consulting with my JAG lawyer, I have, to best of my knowledge,
completed these forms. I trust there will be no further impedance to my
access to my late wife's bank account.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
