PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, DEBTS, AND TAXES
I direct my co-Executors to pay medical, funeral, and administrative expenses and
all taxes payable by reason of my death, before any division of my estate. My co-
Executors shall not attempt to have any part of such taxes apportioned among the
recipients of property includible in determining the amount of such taxes. Proceeds on
insurance on my life up to the maximum allowable as an exemption from Pennsylvania
Inheritance Tax and distributions from pension and profit sharing plans exempt from
federal estate tax, all of which are payable to my Trustee or any beneficiary (other than
my estate), shall not be used to pay debts, taxes, expenses of administration or other
charges against my estates.
III.
CHILDREN SURVIVING
If my children survive me, I dispose of my property as follows:
.~
Tan~ible Personal Property: I give my tangible personal property in
equal shares to my children who survive me, to be divided among
them as they shall agree; if they fail to reach agreement within sixty
(60) days of my death, this tangible personal property shall be
divided among my children as my Executor determines appropriate,
in shares of substantially equal value. I recommend, but do not
require, that all such items of tangible personalty be appraised and
that the children select in rotation items at the appraised value, the
order of choice to be determined by lot
Residue: I give all other property which I own or over which I
have a testamentary power of appointment, to and for the benefit of
my issue who survive me, as follows:
To each who has attained the age of twenty-five (25) years, the
share which he/she would take if all such property then were being
distributed to my issue who survive me, per stirpes.
To my Trustee hereinafter named, the balance of such property,
to be held, administered and distributed as provided in the article of
this Will entitled TRUST FOR ISSUE.
IV.
TRUST FOR ISSUE
This trust is established for the benefit of my issue from time to time living who
have not attained the age of twenty-five (25) years and who do not have a parent who
received either a part of the residue at my death under Article IV or a portion of the
corpus of this trust subsequently at age twenty-five (25) years.
Income: The net income shall be accumulated and thereafter treated
as corpus.
Coqms: From the corpus of the trust, the Trustee shall pay from
time to time or for the benefit of such one or more beneficiaries such
variable amounts (even to the exhaustion of the trust) as are
appropriate, in the discretion of the Trustee, for support and care
where the beneficiary is not self-supporting through no fault of his
own, for education (defined as four years of college, or equivalent
preparation in business, technical or trade training) if the beneficiary
strives therefor in good faith, and for extraordinary requirements
occasioned by illness or other misfortune. Amounts of corpus so
distributed shall not be taken into account in making division of the
trust when a beneficiary attains the age for distribution to him
provided in the next four paragraphs. It is my expectation and
intention that if guardians of the person are appointed for a minor
child, the Trustee will exercise the foregoing power in order to
supply funds to the guardians adequate to maintain and support the
minor child and to protect the guardians, to the extent possible, from
suffering any significant financial burden by reason of their
appointment.
When each beneficiary attains the age of twenty-five (25) years,
the Trustee shall pay to him the share to which he would be entitled
if the then existing trust fund were distributed to my issue then
living, per stirpes, on the hypothesis that my only issue then living
are such beneficiary and all younger beneficiaries of this Trust.
This trust shall terminate when the youngest beneficiary attains
the age of twenty-five (25) years. If this last beneficiary dies before
attaining that age, then upon his death Trustee shall distribute the
fund to my issue, then living, per stirpes.
If, at the end of my accounting period, the current market value
of the corpus of the trust does not exceed Twenty-Five thousand
($25,000.00) dollars, the corpus shall forthwith be paid to the
beneficiaries of the trust then living, per stirpes (my children to be
the stocks); provided that if a distributee IS a minor under the
Revised Uniform Gifts to Minors Act as that Act exists at the
execution of this Will and, for the purpose, that Act is incorporated
by reference.
If this trust is still in existence on the date that is twenty-one
(21) years after the death of the last to die of my issue living at my
death, Trustee shall divide the fund, per stirpes, among the then
beneficiaries of the trust (my children to be the stocks). The share
of each beneficiary shall be paid to him, provided the Trustee shall
hold, administer the share of any distributee who then is a minor as
Custodian in accordance with the provision in the last preceding
paragraph.
V.
FIDUCIARIES
Executrix: I nominate and appoint my three daughters, Virginia Long, Dorothy
Mowery and Becky McElwee as co-Executors of this Will to serve without bond. If any
one of them does not survive me, declines to act, or having qualified, resigns, dies, or is
removed, I nominate the ones remaining to serve as Executors to serve without bond.
Trustee: I nominate Orrstown Bank as Trustee. My Trustee shall not be required
to file an inventory or accountings with the Clerk or the Court having jurisdiction over
this Will.
Powers: I give my fiduciaries, including successor fiduciaries, all the powers
contained in Chapter 71 of the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code at the
time of the execution of this Will, and those powers are incorporated by reference.
VI.
MISCELLANEOUS
Survival Defined: No person shall be deemed to have survived me or to be living
at my death ifhe/she shall die within thirty (30) days after my death.
Issue Defined: The term issue means all my lineal descendants, immediate and
remote, living on the date the persons who comprise that class must be ascertained.
When distribution is to issue, per stirpes, distribution shall be by right of representation,
my children to be the stocks.
In testimony of which I now sign this Will, in the presence of witnesses whose
names will appear below, and request that they witness my signature and attest to the
execution of this Will, this 10th day of April, 2001 at 1237 Holly Pike, Carlisle,
