TESNO `__~ =~ ~ ` I, HELEN J. TESNO, of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make this as and for my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST: I direct the payment of my debts and the expenses of my last illness and funeral from my estate as soon after my death as conveniently may be. SECOND: I give and bequeath all tangible per- sonal property owned by me at the time of my death, together with all insurance policies thereon, unto my sister, Edith M. Tesno, if she survives me by thirty days. In the event she fails to survive me by thirty days, I give and bequeath said tangible personal property and all insurance policies thereon in as nearly equal shares as is practicable unto such of my following nephews and nieces as shall sur- vive me by thirty days: Harold W. Tesno, Jr., Linda L. Tesno, William L. Tesno, Andrea G. Tesno, Lorraine E. Miller and Doris K. Miller. I authorize my Executrix to deliver such articles to which a minor may be entitled under this paragraph to the guardian of the minor or to the person having custody of the minor, or to retain such property until an age at which my Executrix considers it appropriate to deliver the property to him or to her, provided in no event shall such property be retained by my Executrix beyond the time Page 1 of 4 Pages the minor attains his or her majority. The receipt of such of the above enumerated persons as may be selected to receive delivery of such property shall be a full and complete discharge to my Executrix. In the event my Executrix at any time decides it is desirable to sell any item or items of tangible personal property held hereunder for a minor, the proceeds of such sale or sales shall be delivered to the Guardian of the property of the minor appointed in Paragraph SIXTH hereinafter to be held under the terms and conditions thereof. THIRD: I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate unto my sister, Edith M. Tesno, if she survives me by thirty days. In the event she fails to survive me by thirty days, I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate unto such of my following nephews and nieces as shall survive me by thirty days: Harold W. Tesno, Jr., Linda L. Tesno, William L. Tesno, Andrea G. Tesno, Lorraine E. Miller and Doris K. Miller. FOURTH: I direct that any and all Inheritance, Estate and Transfer Taxes imposed upon my estate passing under my Will or otherwise, shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary estate. FIFTH: In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my Executrix, in her absolute discretion: (a) To retain in the form received, and Page 2 of 4 Pages to sell either at public or private sale any real or personal property. (b) To manage real estate. (c) To invest and reinvest in all forms of property without being confined to legal investments, and without regard to the principle of diversification. (d) To exercise any option or rights arising from ownership of investments. (e) To compromise claims without court approval, and without the consent of any beneficiary. (f) To distribute in cash or in kind. SIXTH: I appoint my sister, Joann Tesno Miller, Guardian of any property, including but not limited to all proceeds of insurance on my life, which passes to a minor and with respect to which I am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. In addition to the powers given by law, I authorize the guardian (a) to use such amounts of both income and principal as she, in her sole discretion, deems proper for the support, education and welfare of such minor without leave of any court, and (b) to invest in any property without restriction to legal investments. The guardian shall not be required to give bond or furnish sureties in any jurisdiction. SEVENTH: In the event of the inability of Joann Tesno Miller to act for any reason whatsoever pursuant to my appointment of her in Paragraph SIXTH herein, I appoint my sister, Edith M. Tesno, Guardian of any property Page 3 of 4 Pages which passes to a minor. EIGHTH: I nominate, constitute and appoint my sister, Edith M. Tesno, Executrix of this my last Will and Testament. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of my said sister, Edith M. Tesno, I nominate, constitute s a~ and appoint my sister, Joann Tesno Miller, Executrix of this my last Will and Testament. I hereby relieve my Executrix ~j from the necessity of posting security in connection with f her duties as such in any jurisdiction in which she may i be called upon to act insofar as I am able by law to do so. t3 ~~ IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this ~~ ~,~, day of =~ c ~ 1975. 1 ,f ~ . -- _~ ~° ~ ; ,~.. 1`~ < -_~.
