=r:
SURVIVE: The term "survive", when used in the context of a condition
precedent to an individual receiving inheritance under this Wil~ shall mean to live sixty
(60) days beyond my death. The sixty (60) day period shall begin to accrue at 12:00a.m.
on the day following the date of my death, and end at 12:00a.m. on the 61 st day after the
accrual start date.
TRUST ESTATE: Any and all PROPERTY of my ESTATE which I have
directed to be used to form part or all of the corpus of any Trust created by operation of
the provisions of this Will.
PART II: DISPOSITIONS
I intend to dispose of all of my PROPERTY in the following manner:
A. I direct that the Executor of my Will pay all of my just debts, funeral expenses
and costs associated with the administration of my ESTATE. With this direction, I
authorize and empower my Executor to expend for my funeral and interment such
amount, as he or she may consider necessary and proper, without regard to any limit
imposed by statutory or common law.
B. I direct my Executor to pay all inheritance, estate, succession, and legacy
taxes of whatsoever nature and kind, to which my ESTATE, or the transfer of any
PROPERTY passing hereunder or otherwise passing by reason of my death, may be
subject, and to charge such taxes against my EST ATE. It is my intent that none of the
aforesaid taxes, either federal or state, on any property required to be included in my
ESTATE, under the provisions of any state or federal law now in force or hereafter
Page 2 of18
"-.
enacted, shall be prorated among the persons interested in my ESTATE to whom such
property is or may be transferred or to whom any benefit accrues.
C. I give and bequeath my entire EST ATE to my beloved wife, Kiyoko A.
Rochford, currently residing at 2905 Winchester Drive, Apartment 503, Camp Hill,
17011, Cumberland County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, if she SURVIVES me;
D. In the event that my wife does not SURVIVE me, then I direct the Executor of
my EST ATE to divide my EST ATE, in as close to equal shares as possible, to my two
CHILDREN, if they SURVIVE me, as follows: one share to Mary Rochford Chasse,
currently residing at 15850 North Thompson Peak Parkway, Scottsdale, AZ, 85260; and
one share to Patricia Rochford North, currently residing at 216 Prospect Street,
Manchester, NH, 03104.
In the event that one or both of my CHILDREN does not SURVIVE me, then I
direct the Executor of my ESTATE to divide my EST ATE, in as close to equal shares as
possible, among my GRANDCHILDREN. In the event one or both of my CHILDREN
do not SURVIVE me, and a share of my EST ATE passes to one or more of my
GRANDCHILDREN, then I direct the Executor of my ESTATE to liquidate the share of
my ESTATE to which each such GRANDCHILD is entitled. I then direct that a trust be
created for any GRANDCHILD who has not yet reached the age of25 years, with the
proceeds from the sale ofthe PROPERTY, selected to represent that GRANDCHILD's
share of my ESTATE, to form the corpus ofthe Trust created for that GRANDCHILD's
benefit.
Page 3 ofl8
PART III: APPOINTMENTS
EXECUTOR: I appoint my beloved daughters, Mary Rochford Chasse, currently
residing at 15850 North Thompson Peak Parkway, Scottsdale, AZ, 85260, and Patricia
Rochford North, currently residing at 216 Prospect Street, Manchester, NH, 03104, to act
as co-Executrixes of my ESTATE.
TRUSTEE: I appoint my SURVIVING daughter to act as Trustee of any Trust
created by operation of the provisions ofthis Will for the benefit of the children of the
deceased daughter.
PART IV: POWERS AND DUTIES OF EXECUTOR
Subject to the directions in PART II: DISTRIBUTIONS, and in addition to any
powers or duties granted by Statutory or Common law in existence now or which may
hereinafter be enacted or created, I grant to, and impose upon, my Executor the following
powers and duties, with respect to my ESTATE:
(1) Final distribution of my ESTATE shall be made NO MORE THAN six
(6) months from the date the final claim regarding distributions, values thereof,
additional beneficiaries, or any other claims against my EST ATE, if any, are
resolved. Prior thereto, partial distributions may be made whenever my Executor
shall deem it advisable. Distributions may be made in cash or in kind, or partly in
each.
(2) The value of any property distributed in kind shall be set by my
Executor, unless a challenge thereto is made by one of the beneficiaries of my
ESTATE. In the event there is a challenge to my Executor's determination as to
Page 4 of18
'.,
value, the actual dollar value of the distributions shall be equal to the fair market
value ofthe PROPERTY to be distributed. Should a dispute arise as to the fair
market value of any particular piece of PROPERTY, my Executor shall obtain the
service of an appraiser, or other person qualified to render an opinion as to the fair
market value of that PROPERTY. My Executor shall, in its sole discretion, select
the appraiser or other qualified person. The opinion of that appraiser or other
qualified person shall be final and binding upon both my Executor and the
beneficiary to whom that PROPERTY is to be distributed. In any event, the
dollar value of the PROPERTY to be distributed shall be set at the time of
distribution.
(3) My Executor shall in its sole and absolute discretion select assets or
property to be distributed in satisfaction of any devise or bequest in my Will
without respect to the income tax basis of such assets or property. My Executor
specifically is excused from any duty of impartiality with respect to the income
tax basis of such property. My Executor is also empowered to select and sell any
assets for the purpose of maximizing the initial corpus of any Trust created by
operation of the provisions of this Will, for the benefit of any beneficiary as
directed in my Will.
(4) My Executor is authorized to distribute to any beneficiary of my
ESTATE any asset of my ESTATE subject to any and all indebtedness incurred
by me or by my Executor which indebtedness, in the sole and absolute discretion
or opinion of my Executor, need not be paid first, or to distribute any such
Page 5 of18
property or asset subject to any or all mortgages, deeds of Trust, or the liens,
encumbrances, or obligations created by me or by my Executor.
(5) If any beneficiary to whom my Executor is authorized by this
instrument to make distributions is under a legal disability or is, in the opinion of
my Executor, incapable ofproperly managing his or her affairs, my Executor may
make such distributions in anyone or more ofthe following ways:
(a) To such beneficiary directly;
(b) To the guardian, committee, conservator, or other similar
official of such beneficiary;
(c) To a relative of such beneficiary to be expended by such
relative for the benefit of such beneficiary, including payment to such
relative;
(d) To a custodian selected by my Executor under an applicable
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act; or
(e) By my Executor expending the same directly for the benefit of
such beneficiary.
Any person (other than the beneficiary) who receives a distribution for the benefit
ofthe beneficiary pursuant to the preceding sentence is authorized to give a valid
receipt and discharge for the distribution. The distribution to such beneficiary or
other person to whom payment is made or enTrusted shall be a complete
discharge to my Executor, and my Executor shall be without obligation to see to
the further application of such distribution.
Page 60fl8
(6) Any decision made under this Section or any other provision of this
Will by my Executor with respect to any matter shall bind each beneficiary of my
EST ATE, and any other person whosoever interested in my EST ATE, and my
Executor shall not be required to make any compensating adjustments between
income or principal or among any beneficiaries, Trustees, or any other person as a
result 0 f my Executor's action or inaction.
COMPENSATION AND BOND: I direct that my hereinbefore-named Executor
shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of his or her duties in this
or any jurisdiction. Any executor herein named or otherwise appointed shall be entitled
to reasonable fees commensurate with its duties and responsibilities, taking into account
the value and nature of my ESTATE and the time and work involved, without regard to
any statutory provision as to fees, and if it is a corporation, then not less than its then
current minimum fee for such services. If any licensed attorney or certified public
accountant shall serve as executor, such person shall be compensated for services
rendered based on such person's customary charges for legal or accounting services.
LIABILITY OF EXECUTOR: The Executor shall be liable only for its own
negligence or willful misconduct.
PART V: POWERS AND DUTIES OF TRUSTEE
(1) To exercise all powers granted to, and carry out all fiduciary duties
imposed upon, Trustees by the common law or any applicable statutes (as they
exist at this date or are subsequently amended), to the extent they increase the
Page 70f18
powers granted to Trustees. If, however, those powers are in conflict with the
provisions of this Will, the terms of this Will shall prevail;
(2) To retain any property becoming a part of the TRUST ESTATE,
including non-productive property, without having to account for the loss of
mcome;
(3) To convey, sel~ transfer, exchange, partition, mortgage, pledge, lease,
assign, or otherwise dispose of, hypothecate, or deal with any and all properties in
my TRUST ESTATE;
(4) To borrow or lend money for such purposes and on such terms and
conditions as the Trustee deems appropriate;
(5) To invest and reinvest any assets, funds, properties, or income of the
TRUST ESTATE in such properties or investments (whether income-producing
or not) as the Trustee deems appropriate;
(6) To continue the operation 0 f any proprietorship, partnership,
corporation, or other business owned by the TRUST EST ATE, including the
power to carry out and enforce the provisions of any agreement for the disposition
of my interest in any such business enterprise, even though the Trustee may be
fmancially interested in such business or agreement;
(7) To acquire, hold, and pay premiums on insurance upon the life of any
Trust beneficiary, and to exercise any and all rights to ownership thereof; and to
purchase other types of insurance for any beneficiary; provided, however, that all
incidents of ownership with respect to any policies of insurance on the life of any
Trustee shall be vested in and exercisable solely by another Trustee;
Page 8 of18
".
(8) To execute and deliver oi~ gas, and other mineral leases containing
such unitization or pooling agreements and other provisions as the Trustee shall
think fit; to execute mineral and royalty conveyances; to purchase leases,
royalties, and any type of mineral interest; and to execute and deliver drilling
contracts and other contracts, options, and other instruments necessary or
desirable to participate actively in the oil, gas, or mining business. All of the
foregoing may include such terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, provisions,
or undertakings as the Trustee shall think fit;
(9) To accept from any source any property acceptable to the Trustee to be
held as part of any Trust hereunder. The Trustee also is authorized (but not
directed) to accept from the Executor, at the termination of the administration of
any estate ofwhich any Trust established herein may be the beneficiary, the assets
delivered by the Executor to the Trustee on the basis of the accounting therefor as
submitted by the Executor, without requiring an audit or other independent
accounting of the acts of such Executor. No Trustee hereunder shall have any
duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability whatsoever for, or any duty,
responsibility, obligation, or liability whatsoever for failure to rectify, the acts or
omissions of said Executor; and
(10) To employ at the expense 0 f the Trust qualified experts to inspect and
assess the environmental or similar risks in connection with any real property
owned or proposed to be acquired by the Trust, without reducing the
compensation payable to any Trustee.
Page 90f18
(11) In dividing the Trust estate into separate shares or trusts, or in
distributing the same, the Trustee shall have the power to divide or distribute in
cash, in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, using different properties
according to their value or undivided interests in the same properties, as the
Trustee shall think fit; and for any purpose, including division or distribution, to
value the Trust estate or any part thereofreasonably and in good faith, such
valuation to be conclusive upon all parties.
(12) Notwithstanding any other provision of this instrument, the Trustee
shall have the power to terminate any separate Trust established by this
instrument whenever in the Trustee's opinion such Trust is so small in value that
the administration thereof no longer is economically advisable, after first
considering, however, all financial or special advantages to the beneficiary or
beneficiaries of continuing the TRUST ESTATE. In the event of such
termination, the Trustee shall distribute the remaining Trust assets to the then
income beneficiary or beneficiaries, as provided above in PART II. The Trustee's
judgment shall be final and binding upon all interested parties, and distribution 0 f
Trust assets in any manner provided in this instrument shall relieve the Trustee of
any further responsibility with respect to such assets. In no event shall a
beneficiary, while serving as a Trustee hereunder, exercise the discretion granted
in this Section
(13) The Trustee may make with respect to the property of the TRUST
ESTATE such elections under the tax laws applicable to my ESTATE and to the
TRUST ESTATE as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall determine. No
Page 10 ofl8
compensating adjustments between principal and income, nor with respect to any
Trust, shall be made even though the elections made under the tax laws by the
Executor of my estate or the Trustee may affect (beneficially or adversely) the
interests of the beneficiaries. The action of the Trustee shall be binding upon all
beneficiaries.
(14) In the event of physical or mental incapacity of any person to whom
or for whom principal or income from the TRUST ESTATE of any Trust created
herein may be paid (either during the term of a Trust or upon final distribution of
a Trust), the Trustee may make such payment in anyone or more of the following
ways:
(a) To such person directly;
(b) To the guardian, committee, conservator, or other similar
official of such person;
(c) To a relative of such person to be expended by such relative for
the benefit of such person, including payment to such relative;
(d) To a custodian under an applicable Uniform Transfers to
Minors Act; or
(e) By the Trustee expending the same directly for the benefit of
such person.
The Trustee's determination of the incapacity of any such person shall be final,
and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the application of any payment after
the same has been made to any person in accordance with the provisions hereof
Page 11 of 18
,~
(15) The powers of the Trustee to enter into any transaction shall in no
way be limited by the fact that the same or another party to such transaction is a
beneficiary, the estate of a beneficiary (whether living or deceased), a Trust
created by or for the benefit ofa beneficiary (whether living or deceased), my
estate, a Trustee of any Trust (including Trustees appointed herein) acting in a
capacity other than its fiduciary capacity, or an executor or administrator of any
estate (including mine) acting in a capacity other than its fiduciary capacity.
(16) The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable fees commensurate with
its duties and responsibilities, taking into account the value and nature of the
TRUST EST ATE and the time and work involved. If any licensed attorney or
certified public accountant shall serve as Trustee, such person shall be
compensated for services rendered based on such person's customary charges for
legal or accounting services. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with its fiduciary duties hereunder. No
Trustee, whether original or successor, shall be required to furnish bond or other
security, except as herein expressly provided.
(17) Ifat any time any TRUST ESTATE shall consist in whole or in part
of assets located in a jurisdiction in which the Trustee is not authorized or is
unwilling to act, the Trustee may appoint an ancillary Trustee for that jurisdiction
and may confer upon such ancillary Trustee such rights, powers, discretions, and
duties to act solely with respect to such assets as the Trustee may deem
appropriate. The ancillary Trustee shall be answerable to the Trustee for all
monies and other assets that may be received by it in connection with the
Page 120f18
. .
administration of such property. The Trustee may pay to the ancillary Trustee
reasonable compensation for its services and may absolve it from any requirement
that it furnish bond or other security.
(18) If at any time the Trustee of any Trust created by this instrument
("this Trust") shall also be acting as Trustee of any other Trust ("other Trust") for
the benefit of the same beneficiary or beneficiaries and upon substantially the
same terms and conditions, the Trustee is authorized and empowered, if in the
Trustee's discretion such action is in the best interest of the beneficiary or
beneficiaries of this Trust, to transfer and merge all of the assets then held in this
Trust to and with such other Trust and thereupon to terminate this Trust. The
Trustee further is authorized to accept the assets ofthe other Trust that may be
transferred to the Trustee ofthis Trust and to administer and distribute such assets
in accordance with the provisions of this instrument.
(19) No Trustee shall be responsible or liable for any loss to the TRUST
EST ATE that may occur by reason of depreciation in value of the properties at
any time belonging to the TRUST EST A TE nor for any other loss to the TRUST
ESTATE that may occur, except that each Trustee shall be liable for its own
negligence or willful misconduct.
(20) Any Trustee may resign by filing a written instrument duly
acknowledged of record with the Clerk of Court of my County, which filing shall
deprive immediately any such resigning Trustee of all powers as Trustee
hereunder except those powers appropriate to the administration of the Trust
during the time required for the transfer ofthe Trust assets; provided,
Page 13 of18
"
nevertheless, that at least thirty (30) days prior to such filing, the resigning
Trustee shall give written notice thereof to those persons who could in the
discretion of the Trustee receive income from the TRUST ESTATE and are at ,
such time sui juris. No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, any Trustee
is obligated to examine such Records, and any such person acting in good faith
shall be protected in all transactions with any Trustee, whether or not any such
resignation has taken place.
(21) Upon the appointment and qualification of any successor Trustee, the
same duties shall devolve upon, and the same rights, powers, authorities,
privileges, and discretions shall inure to it as to the Trustee originally designated
hereunder; and all rights, powers, authorities, privileges, and discretions shall be
exercised without the supervision of any court.
(22) If a corporate Trustee should, before or after qualification, change its
name, be reorganized, merged, or consolidated with, or acquired by any other
corporation, or be converted into or assign its trust functions to a different type of
entity, the resulting entity shall be deemed a continuation of the former one and
shall continue to act as Trustee or continue to be eligible to become a Trustee, as
the case may be.
PART VI: MISCELLANEOUS
INVALID PROVISIONS: If any part of this Will shall be found to be invalid,
illegal, or inoperative for any reason, it is my intention that the remaining parts, so far as
possible and reasonable, shall be effective and fully operative. My Executor may seek
and obtain court instructions for the purpose of carrying out as nearly as may be possible
Page 14 ofl8
..,
the intention of this Will as shown by the terms hereof, including any terms held invalid,
illega~ or inoperative.
