KODISH, presently residing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make, declare and publish this as my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES I. Payment of Expenses. I direct that my Executor, hereinafter named shall have the power, but not the duty, to pay all my just debts, expenses of my last illness, and funeral expenses from my estate as soon after my death as shall be found convenient. GIFTS II. Personal and Household Effects. I bequeath my automobiles, household and the rest of my personal effects and other tangible property of like nature (not including cash or securities) (excluding the Lionel train set to be given to my grandson, TYLER WEICHT) together with any existing insurance thereon, to my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, ifhe survives me by thirty days. Should my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, not be living on the thirty-first day after my death, I bequeath such tangible personalty and insurance thereon to such of my children as are living on the thirty-first day after my death, to be divided between them in as nearly equal shares as practical. I intend to leave a memorandum setting forth suggestions as to the distribution of certain items and, while the memorandum is not to be legally binding, I hope the suggestions in it will be carried out. I direct that the expense of packing, shipping, insuring and delivering any such property to a beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by my Executor as an administrative expense of my Estate. RESIDUARY ESTATE III. Residue. I give, the residue of my Estate, real and personal, wherever situated, to my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, ifhe survives me by thirty (30) days. x~, ~, ~~,l -1- If my husband has predeceased me or dies within thirty (30) days of my death, I give the residue of my Estate, in equal shares, to my children, LORI WEICHT and EDWARD J. KaDISH, subject to the option set forth in Paragraph VIII. A. of this Will, but if any child of mine has predeceased me, then to his/her issue, per stirpes and not per capita, and, in default thereof, to my surviving child. IV. Power of Aopointment. No provision of this Will shall exercise any power of appointment I may have. FIDUCIARIES V. Executor. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, as Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. In the event that my said husband shall predecease me, or be unwilling or unable to act as Executor, then I nominate, constitute and appoint my son-in-law, JACK WEICHT, as Executor. VI. Bond. No Executor shall be required to give bond or other security for the performance of his duties. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS VII. Protective Provisions. To the extent permitted by law, the interest of beneficiaries in principal or income shall not be subject to the claims of their creditors and others, nor to legal process, and shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered, except that nothing in this article shall preclude the assignment of all or any part of a beneficiary's interest to his/her descendants. Further exceptions may be made if my Executor approves. VIII. Management Provisions. My Executor shall have, in addition to the powers and authority conferred upon him by law, the following additional powers and authority: A. Sell/Lease. To sell at public or private sale, exchange, lease, mortgage or pledge any property, real or personal, at any time, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall deem wise. However, if my husband has predeceased me, and if at my death, I own the property at 259 Salem Church Road, Mechanicsburg, P A 17050, I direct that my Executor shall promptly, upon his appointment by Grant of Letters Testamentary, notify my son, EDWARD J. KaDISH, that he is granted the option to purchase my home by paying to my daughter one-half of the appraised value of the property within ninety (90) days of the appointment of the Executor. The appraised fair market value shall be determined by a real estate appraiser doing business in Cumberland County and appraisal shall be arranged for by the Executor and the fee shall be paid as an expense of my estate. A copy of the appraisal shall be provided to my son within thirty (30) days of the Executor's appointment. The other one-half value of the \\\).~At' 1),. Vtrd;"~ -2- property shall be deemed to be the distribution value to my son of his interest in the house as it constitutes part of the residue of my estate. The one-half value, ifpaid to my daughter, as outlined shall be deemed to be the distribution to her of her interest in the house as it constitutes part of the residue of my estate. My son may waive this option in writing during the ninety (90) day period after appointment of the Executor. If he does not waive the option in writing, but fails to pay the one-half interest to my daughter within ninety (90) days of the appointment of my Executor, the option shall expire and my Executor may proceed, as he chooses, to sell or lease the property as set forth above. B. Retain/Invest. To retain and to invest in all forms of real and personal property, including common trust funds, mutual funds and money market deposit accounts regardless of any limitations imposed by law on investments by executors, or any principle of law concerning investment diversification. C. Title to Property. To cause any security or other property which may constitute a portion of my Estate to be issued, held or registered in his own name, or in the name of a nominee, or in such form that title will pass by delivery. D. Capital changes. To consent to the reorganization, consolidation, readjustment of the financial structure, or sale of the assets of any corporation or other organization, the securities of which constitute a portion of my Estate, and to take any action with reference to such securities which, in the opinion of the Executor is necessary to obtain the benefit of any such reorganization, consolidation, readjustment or sale; to exercise any conversion privilege or subscription right given to him as the owner of any securities constituting a portion of my Estate; to accept and hold as a portion of my Estate securities resulting from any reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, sale, conversion or subscription.
