FIRST: I direct that all of my just debts, my funeral expenses and the costs administering my estate be paid as soon as practicable after my death. I also direct my Executrix to pay any and all inheritance taxes that may be assessed against any beneficiary or beneficiaries in connection with my Will or my Estate. SECOND: I specifically devise the sum of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000) to each of the following beneficiaries: 1. my grandson, GRANT NINTZEL, if he survives me; 2. my granddaughter, JANELE NINTZEL, if she survives me; 3. my grandson, BRIAN GERTZ, if he survives me; 4. my grandson, AARON GERTZ, if he survives me; 5. my granddaughter, KAREN OLSEN, if she survives me; 6. my granddaughter, KARLA ROMBERG, if she survives me; 7. my granddaughter, KARYL STELGER, if she survives me; 8. my church, PLEASANTDALE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Located in West Orange, New Jersey, to be used by it as it deems appropriate. THIRD: I incorporate into this Will by reference a document, in my handwriting, titled "Identification of Bequest of Tangible Personal Property", which document is annexed to this Will. It is my express intent to dispose of such tangible personal property as I direct in the above referenced document. FOURTH: I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, of every nature and wherever situate, of which I may die seized or possessed, to my children, JANET NINTZEL, DIANE GERTZ, and GAIL STELGER, in equal shares. If any of my said children shall predecease me, their respective share shall be given to their surviving issue in equal shares, per stirpes. FIFTH: (a) If a beneficiary under the age of twenty-one (21) becomes absolutely entitled to any property under the foregoing provisions, such property shall immediately vest in such beneficiary. However, the distributing fiduciary in his/her discretion may distribute the property at any time if that fiduciary feels the funds will be properly expended directly to the beneficiary or to a parent or any other person or entity on behalf of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the beneficiary under a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or to the Trustee named in this Will. If the property is distributed to the Trustee, the Trustee shall hold the property as a separate trust for the benefit of the beneficiary and shall pay to or apply for his or her benefit all the net income and so much of the principal at any time and from time to time as the Trustee with sole discretion believes advisable to provide adequately for the beneficiary's health, maintenance, education and support in reasonable comfort. a (b) All funds not paid to or applied for the beneficiary in accordance with Paragraph FIFTH (a) above, shall be paid to the beneficiary at age twenty-one (21) or to the beneficiary's personal representative in the event of the beneficiary's death priorto age twenty-one (21). Upon obtaining a receipt from the person to whom distribution is made, the Trustee shall be relieved of any further obligations with respect to the property distributed. SIXTH: I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughters, DIANE GERTZ and JANET NINTZEL, to be and act as co-Executrixes, or the survivor of them and then in that event individually, of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event of renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of both of my daughters, DIANE GERTZ and JANET NINTZEL, as co-Executrixes, I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, GAIL STELGER, as Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament. I hereby direct that no Executrix appointed hereunder shall be required to furnish any bond or other security in any jurisdiction for the faithful performance of their duties. I hereby direct that the Executrix of my estate shall receive no greater than a total of five percent (5~io) of the value of my gross estate for Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax purposes, and the co-Executrixes as named herein shall divide this amount equally, for services rendered by them in that capacity to my estate. SEVENTH: I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughters, DIANE GERTZ and JANET NINTZEL, to be and act as co-Trustees, or the survivor of them and then in that event individually, of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event of renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of both of my 3 daughters, DIANE GERTZ and JANET NINTZEL, as co-Trustees, I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, GAIL STELGER, as Trustee of this my Last Will and Testament. I hereby direct that no Trustee appointed hereunder shall be required to furnish any bond or other security in any jurisdiction for the faithful performance of their duties. EIGHTH: I authorize and empower my Executrix, in addition to all powers conferred by law and without the necessity of court order, to sell, convey, mortgage, leases, invest, reinvest, exchange, manage, control or otherwise deal with any and all property, real or personal, comprising my estate; to adjust, compromise and settle any claim or demands in favor of or against my estate upon such terms as is deemed advisable; and to make distribution under this Will in kind or in money, or partly in kind or in money. NINTH: I authorize and empower my Trustee, in addition to all powers conferred by law, to sell, exchange, mortgage, lease, bargain, sell, convey or otherwise deal with the property with which she is so entrusted, without regard to any limitation upon investments by fiduciaries which may be imposed by any law, and without the need for authorization by any Court in this or any other jurisdiction. It is my intent by this Paragraph NINTH to authorize my Trustee to deal with the corpus and the income of such trusts as though she were the absolute owner and to authorize her to make payments for the benefit of beneficiaries whenever she in her sole discretion shall deem them necessary for the purposes hereinbefore stated; whenever the accumulated income shall be insufficient for such purposes, then she shall have the full power to invade the corpus to whatever extent may be necessary. 4 TENTH: I forgive, release and discharge each of my daughters, JANET NINTZEL, DIANE GERTZ and GAIL STELGER, of all indebtedness and interest thereon which may be owing to me at the time of my death, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. ELEVENTH: Throughout this Will, the masculine shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context of the Will indicates otherwise.
