which has lapsed) to my daughter, LISA M. SWEENEY, of Mt. Gretna,
Pennsylvania, provided she survives my by thirty days, and if she does not so survive

me by thirty days, to be divided among them as they may agree. Any items not

Any disputes concerning this or any other method of allocation shall be resolved by

In the event neither my daughter or granddaughter survive me by thirty days, such

same relative percentages as hereinafter set forth;

law until all property is distributed:
(a) To retain any real or personal property in the form received and to sell it at
public or private sale.
(b) To manage real estate.

register investments in the name of the nominee of such agent, broker, bank or trust
company. The expenses and charges for such services shall be charged against
principal or income or partly against each as my Executor may determine. My
Executor is expressly relieved of any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any act
or failure to act by, or for following the advice of, such accountants, agents,
investment counsel, brokers, bank or trust company, so long as my Executor exercises
due care in their selection. The fact that an Executor may be a member, shareholder
or employee of any accounting, investment or brokerage firm, agent, or bank or trust
company so employed shall not be deemed a conflict of interest. Any compensation
paid pursuant to this subparagraph shall not affect in any manner the amount of or
the right of my Executor to receive commissions as a fiduciary.

my Executor, is incapacitated by reason of age (other than minority) or illness
(mental or physical) when such interest vests in him or her: to hold the interest

to apply so much of the income and principal as my Executor deems advisable for
such beneficiary's benefit for any reason without considering other funds available to
him or her; and to deliver the balance of principal and income to the beneficiary at
such time as he or she gains capacity. In addition, at any time to pay the entire
interest to the guardian of the estate of the incapacitated beneficiary to hold for his
or her benefit. The receipt of a guardian or such other person as may be selected by
my Executor to receive a distribution under this subparagraph shall be a full and
complete discharge to my Executor.

genders and the singular and plural as the context may require.
