D CQ., PA
I, FRANCES K. WESTBROOK, a resident of and domiciled at 562 East Old
York Road, South Middleton Township, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish
and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and
Codicils by me at any time previously made.
I: All inheritance, estate and similar taxes becoming due by reason
of my death ("Death Taxes"), whether such Death Taxes shall be payable by my
estate or by any recipient of any property, shall be paid by my Executor out of the
property passing under ITEM VII of this Will as an expense and cost of
administration of my estate, prior to the funding of any trust created under such
ITEM. My Executor shall have no duty or obligation to obtain reimbursement for
any Death Taxes paid by my Executor, even though paid with respect to proceeds
of insurance or other property not passing under this Will.
ITEM II: I direct my Executor to provide for a funeral service iri conformity
with my station in life.
I1'LrM III: I hereby exercise all powers of appointment which I may have at
the time of my death in favor of my Executor, and all property subject to all such
powers of appointment shall be included in my estate and be governed by the
provisions of this Will; provided, however, that I specifically decline to exercise
Page 1 of 12 ~~~
any power of appointment given to me in any Will, Codicil, Trust Agreement or
other instrument executed by my husband, GALEN J. WESTBROOK, (My
Husband).
ITEM IV: I give and bequeath all of my household furniture and
furnishings, automobiles, books, pictures, china, crystal, appliances, silverware,
wearing apparel and all other like articles of household or personal use to My
Husband, if he survives me. If My Husband does not survive me, I give such
articles to those of my children who are living at my death in as nearly equal
shares as they shall select under the supervision of my Executor. If any such
articles cannot be fairly divided or distributed in kind in the opinion of my
Executor, such articles shall be sold and the proceeds thereof shall pass as part
of my residuary estate.
ITEM V: I give all of the jewelry which I shall own at the time of my death,
to my grandchildren, in as nearly equal shares as they shall select, under the
supervision of my Executor, if they survive me.
ITEM VI: I give, devise and bequeath to my Trustee hereinafter named, IN
TRUST NEVERTHELESS, to be held, administered and disposed of iri accordance
with this ITEM for the benefit of My Husband and my issue (herein referred to as
the "Unified Credit Trust") an amount equal to the balance of the dollar amount
not taxed in my estate due to the application to my estate of the unified credit
against federal estate tax (the "Unified Credit"), after deducting therefrom the
value, for federal estate tax purposes, of (a) assets included in my federal gross
Page 2 of 12 ~~~
estate which pass or have passed other than under the terms of this Will and
which will utilize a portion of the Unified Credit, (b) any bequests under the
preceding ITEMS which will utilize a portion of the Unified Credit, and (c)
adjusted taxable gifts not included iri my federal gross estate but included in the
computation of the tentative federal estate tax iri my estate. My Trustee shall
have, hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of the Unified Credit Trust,
collect the income and
(a) if My Husband survives me, beginning at my death, my Trustee
shall pay over the income of the Unified Credit Trust to My Husband during his
lifetime, in installments not less frequently than quarterly. In addition, my
Trustee shall pay such amounts of the principal of such trust as, iri the sole
discretion of my Trustee, may be necessary for the maintenance, support and
medical and nursing care of My Husband, taking into consideration any other
means readily available for such purposes.
(b) My Husband shall have the non-cumulative right to withdraw in
each calendar year, upon My Husband's written request to the Trustee, amounts
from the principal of such Trust not exceeding in the aggregate iri any one
calendar year, the greater of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or flue percent
(5%), of the value of the principal of the Trust at the end of such year.
(c) Upon the death of the survivor of My Husband and me, my
Trustee shall distribute the principal and any undistributed income of the Unified
Credit Trust iri equal shares to my four children, DAVID L. WESTBROOK,
DONALD L. WESTBROOK, DONNA L. HOVIS and LINDA G. NOGGLE, or their
issue, per stripes.
(d) The shares to be distributed to my children, DAVID L.
WESTBROOK, DONALD L. WESTBROOK, DONNA L. HOVIS and LINDA G.
NOGGLE, if living, shall be distributed to them outright. Should any of my
children predecease me, my Trustee shall divide this Trust as then constituted
into an equal share for my deceased child and further into equal separate shares
so as to provide one share for each of my deceased child's children (my
grandchildren) and hold such shares, IN FURTHER TRUST, the income and
principal of which shall be held, administered and disposed of as hereinafter
provided.
Page 3 of 12 ~~/!~
(1) Until each of my grandchildren attains the age of twenty-one (21)
years, my Trustee shall be fully authorized and shall have the sole discretion to
pay to each such grandchild or to expend for his or her benefit so much of the
income and principal of such grandchild's share as my Trustee shall deem
necessary or desirable from time to time for his or her support, health and medical
care, and education, taking into consideration all other income and other
resources available to such grandchild for such purposes from all sources known
to my Trustee. Any income of such grandchild's share not expended under the
provisions hereof shall be accumulated and added to the principal of his or her
share. When each of my grandchildren attains the age of twenty-one (21) years
and until complete distribution of his or her share, my Trustee shall pay to each
such grandchild all of the income from his or her share in such periodic
installments as such grandchild and my Trustee shall find convenient, but not
less frequently than quarter-annually.. In addition, my Trustee shall be fully
authorized to pay to each of my grandchildren or to expend for his or her benefit
so much of the principal of his or her share as my Trustee, in her sole discretion,
shall deem necessary or desirable from time to time for his or her support, health
and medical care, and education, taking into consideration all other income and
other resources available to such grandchild for such purposes from all sources
known to my Trustee.
(2) When each of my grandchildren attains the age of twenty-five (25)
years, my Trustee shall pay over, transfer, convey, and distribute to him or to her,
one-third in value of the then remaining principal of his or her share of this Trust,
discharged of the trust. When each such grandchild attains the age of thirty (30)
years, my Trustee shall pay over, transfer, convey and distribute to him or to her
one-half in value of the then remaining principal of his or her share of this Trust,
discharged of the trust. When each such grandchild attains the age of thirty-five
(35) years, my Trustee shall pay over, transfer, convey and distribute to him or to
her the then remaining balance of his or her share of this'IYust, discharged of the
trust.
(3) In the event of the death of either of my grandchildren prior to
division of this Trust into separate shares or prior to complete distribution of his
or her share, then upon the happening of either event such grandchild's share, or
the remainder thereof, shall be held, IN FURTHER TRUST, for his or her then
living issue, per stirpes; and if upon such grandchild's death, he or she has not
then living issue, then such share, or the remainder thereof, shall be added to the
share for my other grandchildren and shall be held, administered and disposed
of as herein provided.
(4) The shares, or portions of shares, for all issue of my grandchildren
shall vest in such issue as hereinbefore provided, but shall be retained by my
Trustee who shall expend on the several beneficiaries for their support, health and
Page 4 of 12 ~~~
medical care, and education so much of the income and principal of their
respective shares, or portions thereof, as my Trustee shall deem best and shall
accumulate any income not so expended and add such income to the principal of
their respective shares, or portions thereof, until each such beneficiary, in turn,
attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, at which time the then remaining
balance of the principal and accumulated income of each such beneficiary's share,
or portion thereof, shall be paid over, transferred, conveyed and distributed to him
or to her, discharged of the trust. If such beneficiary dies before attaining the age
of twenty-one (21) years, such share, or portion thereof, shall be distributed to his
or her personal representative(s), discharged of the trust.
ITEM VII: I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue and
remainder of my property, real, personal and mixed, not disposed of in the
preceding portions of this Will, to my Trustee hereinafter named, IN TRUST
NEVERTHELESS, to be held, administered and disposed of in accordance with
this ITEM for the benefit of My Husband (herein referred to as the "Marital
Trust"). My Trustee shall have, hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of
the Marital Trust, collect the income and
(a) beginning at my death, my Trustee shall pay over the income iri
quarterly installments to My Husband, during his lifetime. Additionally, my
Trustee shall, during the lifetime of My Husband, pay to him such portions of the
principal of the Marital Trust as, in the sole discretion of my Trustee, may be
necessary for the maintenance, support and medical and nursing care of My
Husband, taking into consideration any other means readily available for such
purposes.
(b) Upon the death of My Husband, during the continued existence
of this Trust, my Trustee shall convey and pay over all of the remaining principal
of the Marital Trust, to or for the benefit of such person or persons or corporation
or corporations or other entity or entities, or the estate of My Husband, in such
amounts or proportions, and in such lawful interests or estates, whether
absolutely or in trust, as My Husband may have directed, either by instrument
filed with my Trustee during his lifetime exercising this power of appointment or
by his Last Will and Testament. This power or appointment shall be exercisable
by My Husband alone and in all events. If the above power of appointment is for
any reason not validly exercised by My Husband iri whole or in part during his
lifetime or in his last Will and Testament, then upon his death such portion of or
Page 5 of 12 ~~
all of the principal of the Marital Trust or such interests and estates herein as
shall not have been validly appointed by him shall be distributed in accordance
with ITEM VI of this my Last Will and Testament.
If My Husband does not survive me, then the assets which would have constituted
the foregoing Trust shall be distributed in accordance with ITEM VI of this my
Last Will and Testament.
ITEM VIII: It is my intention to conform to the provisions for the allowance
of the marital deduction for federal estate tax purposes. I therefore direct that any
provisions of this Will notwithstanding, the powers granted herein to my Executor
and Trustee shall be construed iri accordance with said intention and shall not be
interpreted or exercised so as to disqualify the bequest under ITEM VII to the
Marital Trust.
ITEM I%: Anything in this instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, all
property of every trust created herein shall vest in and be distributed to the
persons then entitled to the income from such property at the expiration of
twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last surviving beneficiary of the trust
who was in life at my death, unless sooner vested as herein provided. The
purpose of this provision is to prevent any possible violation of the Rule against
Perpetuities and this provision should be so construed. At the expiration of such
twenty-one (21) year period, the Trustee shall distribute the property of each trust
or share to the person entitled or permitted to receive the income from such trust
or share, and if more than one person is entitled or permitted to receive income
from a trust or share, then the Trustee shall distribute the property of such trust
or share among them in such proportions as the Trustee in her discretion shall
~~i /r
Page 6 of 12
determine.
ITEM %: No interest in income or principal of my estate or any trust
created hereunder shall be subject to attachment, levy or seizure by any creditor,
spouse, assignee or trustee or receiver iri bankruptcy of any beneficiary of my
estate or of any trust created hereunder prior to the beneficiary's actual receipt
thereof. My Executor and/or Trustee shall pay over the income and the principal
to the beneficiaries herein designated, as their interests may appear, without
regard to any attempted anticipation (except as may be specifically provided
herein), pledging or assignment by any beneficiary of my estate or of any trust
created hereunder and without regard to any claim thereto or attempted levy,
attachment, seizure or other process against said beneficiary.
ITEM XI: If my husband, GALEN J. WESTBROOK, shall die with me in a
common accident or disaster or under such circumstances that the order of our
death cannot be established by proof, I direct that my husband shall not be
deemed to have survived me, and all of the provisions of this Will shall take effect
as though my husband had predeceased me.
ITEM 7[II: In the settlement of my estate and during the continuance of any
trust created hereunder, my Executor and my Trustee shall possess, among
others, the following powers to be exercised for the best interests of the
beneficiaries; subject, however, insofar as the Marital Trust is concerned, to the
restrictions set forth below:
(a) To retain any investments I may have at my death so long as my
Page 7 of 12 ~~/ ~.~/
Executor or Trustee may deem it advisable to my estate or trust so to do.
(b) To vary investments, when deemed desirable by my Executor or
Trustee, and to invest iri such bonds, stocks, notes, real estate mortgages or other
securities or in such other real or personal property as my Executor or Trustee
shall deem wise, without being restricted to so-called "legal investments".
(c) In order to effect a division of the principal of my estate or trust
or for any other purpose, including any final distribution of my estate or trust, my
Executor or Trustee are authorized to make said divisions or distributions of the
personalty and realty partly or wholly in kind. If such division or distribution is
made in kind, said assets shall be divided or distributed at their respective values
on the date or dates of their division or distribution. In making any division or
distribution in kind, my Executor or Trustee shall divide or distribute said assets
in a manner which will fairly allocate any unrealized appreciation among the
beneficiaries.
(d) To sell either at public or private sale and upon such terms and
conditions as my Executor or Trustee may deem advantageous to my estate or
trust, any or all real or personal estate or interest therein owned by my estate or
trust severally or in conjunction with other persons or acquired after my death by
my Executor or Trustee, and to consummate said sale or sales by sufficient deeds
or other instrument to the purchaser or purchasers, conveying a fee simple title,
free and clear of all trust and without obligation or liability of the purchaser or
purchasers to see to the application of the purchase money or to make inquiry
into the validity of said sale or sales; also, to make, execute, acknowledge and
deliver any and all deeds, assignments, options or other writings which may be
necessary or desirable in carrying out any of the powers conferred upon my
Executor or Trustee in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Will.
(e) To mortgage real estate; provided, however, that this provision
shall not apply to real estate which is an asset of the Marital Trust; and to make
leases of real estate for any term.
(f) To borrow money from any party, including my Executor or
Trustee, to pay indebtedness of mine or of my estate or trust, expenses of
administration, Death Taxes or other taxes; provided, however, that this provision
shall not authorize borrowing from the Marital Trust.
(g) From the same source as from which Death Taxes aze to be paid
