EMERSON ACKERMAN, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do r~ke,~''`=r`' publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby expressly revoking all wills and codicils made by me heretofore, and dispose of my estate as follows: ITEM 1: I direct the payment of my just debts and funeral expenses, including a suitable and proper grave marker, as soon as conveniently can be done following my decease. ITEM 2: I direct that all State and Federal Transfer Inheritance Tax, Estate Tax, Succession Tax or any other tax, including any interest, assessments or penalties thereon, that may become due and payable by virtue of my death, or by virtue of the passing of any property either under my Last Will and Testament, or in any other manner, shall be paid from my residuary estate, just as if such taxes were my debts, and no beneficiary shall be required to pay or refund any part thereof. ITEM 3: All of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my children, equally. If a child is not then living, then such deceased child's share of my estate shall be distributed to his or her spouse. If a child is not then living and does not leave a surviving spouse, then such deceased child's share of my estate shall lapse. ITEM 4: In the administration of my estate my Executor shall have the following N i~ powers without leave of court in addition to, but not in limitation of, the powers granted by law to the Executors of estates, which powers shall continue after the termination of my estate until actual distribution of the assets: A. To receive in the estate and to retain any assets, real or personal, to which I may be entitled at the time of my death, which my Executor may deem for the best interest of the estate without being required to convert said assets into so-called "legal investments". B. To invest and reinvest in such securities as a prudent investor of intelligence and discretion would buy for himself for investment, and not for speculation, giving due regard to the safety of the principal and the adequacy of the income, and without being limited to the so-called "legal investments" of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said investment authority to include the right to invest in any Discretionary or Legal Common Trust Fund that may be administered and managed by a Corporate Executor or Corporate Trustee. C. To sell or buy real estate without Court order at public or private sale; to make, execute and deliver. or receive good and sufficient deeds of conveyance and give or receive good title therefor; to reinvest the proceeds as if they had originated in personal property; to mortgage or encumber any real estate comprising part of my estate, borrowing the necessary funds from himself or from any other source; to improve any property or otherwise expend principal funds for the upkeep and welfare of any properties; to release, vacate and abandon the same; to grant and acquire licenses and easements with respect thereto; to make improvements to or upon the same; and in general to do all things necessary in the management of the properties as if he is the 2 owner thereof, including the right to let property and to make leases for any term. The purchaser shall not be required to see to the proper application of proceeds but may pay the same over to the Executor selling the same. D. To make distribution hereunder in cash or of property and securities in kind at fair market value at the time of such distribution and in such a manner as to be fair, equitable and just to all concerned. Distributions of property and securities are not required to be identical among the beneficiaries, and some may receive one type of property or security while another may receive another type of property or security. E. To exercise any election or privilege given by the federal and other tax laws, including but not limited to, the election of the alternate valuation date for federal estate tax purposes, the election to claim deductions for federal estate tax or for federal income tax purposes, and the election of the method of payment of pension, profit-sharing, HR- 10, individual retirement account, and any other similar benefits. In addition, my Executor, in his sole discretion, may make or not make equitable adjustment among the beneficiaries, without the consent of the beneficiaries, for the exercise or non-exercise of any election or privileges. ITEM 5: I nominate, constitute and appoint my son, THOMAS DEAN ACKERMAN to be Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. If my son, THOMAS is unable or unwilling to serve or continue to serve as Executor, I appoint my daughter, ELIZABETH A. CONRAD as Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. No Executor or Executrix shall be required to give bond. ITEM 6: Wherever the context requires, the masculine gender shall include the 3 feminine and neuter gender, and vice versa, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.
