ARTHUR F. EDGIN t~ ~~ n -~ , ~;~_E
~
_~ r ~- _ E
~~.,
I, ARTHUR F. EDGIN, now domiciled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare
this to be my Last Will and Testament. I revoke all other wills and codicils that I may have
previously made.
Arh'cle I
My just debts and expenses of my last illness, funeral, and administration of my estate
shall be paid by my Executor from the principal of my residuary estate as soon as practicable
after my death.
Artt'cle II
All inheritance, estate, and succession taxes (including interest and penalties thereon, but
not including any generation skipping tax) payable by reason of my death shall be paid out of
and be charged generally against the principal of my residuary estate without reimbursement
from any person. This provision is not a waiver of any right which my Executor has to claim
reimbursement for any such taxes which become payable as the result of any property over
which I have the power of appointment.
Article III
I give, devise and bequeath my tangible personal property in accordance with any
memorandum I have handwritten or signed, located with my will or with my valuable papers and
found within 30 days of the probate of my will. Gifts may only be to persons who survive me or
to organizations which exist at my death, and if there is a conflict, the memorandum having the
latest date shall govern. To the extent no such memorandum is found, or all of my tangible
personal property is not disposed of pursuant thereto, my tangible personal property shall be
added to my residuary estate and pass under Articles IV and V hereof.
Article IV
If my spouse, JULIA R. EDGIN, survives me by one hundred seventy (170) days, I
give, devise and bequeath to my spouse cash, securities or other property of my estate having a
value equal to the amount, if any, that my spouse would be entitled to receive if she exercised her
elective share rights as set forth in section 2201 et seq. of the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and
Fiduciaries Code (the "PEF Code"); provided, however, that this bequest shall be reduced to the
extent my spouse has waived the right to elect under PEF Code section 2207 or forfeited the
right to elect under PEF Code section 2208. In computing the amount of this bequest, it shall be
assumed that my spouse has elected under PEF Code section 2204(c) to retain all beneficial
interests in property that she would otherwise be required to disclaim if she exercised her
elective share rights.
Provided my spouse survives me for one hundred seventy (170) days and she has not
waived or forfeited her elective share rights, it is my intention, that as a result of my death, she
receive property having a value equal to (but not more than) that which she would receive if she
were to exercise her elective share rights.
My Executor shall have the sole discretion to select the assets which shall constitute this
bequest. If my spouse does not survive me by one hundred seventy (170) days, or in the event
my spouse (or her legal representative) disclaims any portion of this bequest, this bequest, or the
disclaimed portion thereof, shall be distributed as part of my residuary estate.
2
This bequest shall be distributed, in trust, to my hereinafter-named Trustee to be held,
administered and distributed as follows:
A. To expend and apply so much of the net income and so much of the principal of
the Trust as the Trustee shall consider advisable for the support, health, and care of JULIA R.
EDGIN, for the remainder of her lifetime.
B. In the event of JULIA R. EDGIN's death, the trust shall terminate, and the
remaining principal and accumulated income of the trust shall be equally divided and distributed
to my children, CURTIS A. EDGIN, of Easthampton, Massachusetts, and DIANE L.
MILLER, of Elliottsburg, Pennsylvania, per stirpes.
D. I hereby appoint my son, CURTIS A. EDGIN, as Trustee of any Trust(s) created
in this Will for the benefit of my spouse. In the event of the renunciation, death, or inability to
act, for any reason whatsoever of CURTIS A. EDGIN, I nominate, constitute and appoint my
daughter, DIANE L. MILLER, successor Trustee of any Trust(s) created in this Will for the
benefit of my spouse.
E. In order to carry out the purposes of the Trust established by this Will for the
benefit of JULIA R. EDGIN, the Trustee, in addition to all other powers granted by this Will or
by law, shall have the following powers over the Trust estate, subject to any limitations specified
elsewhere in this Will:
(a) to retain in the form received and/or to sell either at public or private sale,
any real estate or personal property except that which I specifically bequeath herein;
(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 principal of diversification;
(d) to exercise any option or right arising from the ownership of investments;
3
(e) to compromise claims without court approval and without consent of any
beneficiary;
(f) to file fiduciary/income tax returns and pay the tax due for any year for
which such a return is required;
(g) to make distributions in cash or in kind, or in both, and to determine the
value of any such property;
(h) to employ any attorney, investment advisor, or other agent deemed
necessary by my Executor; to pay from my estate reasonable compensation for all their
services;
(i) to conduct alone or with others, any business in which I am engaged in or
have an interest in at the time of my death; and
(j) to receive reasonable compensation in accordance with the standard
schedule of fees in effect while their services are performed.
Article V
All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever
situate, I give, devise and bequeath as follows:
A. If my spouse survives my death by thirty (30) days, then I give, devise and
bequeath the rest and residue of my estate to a Third Party Special Needs Trust for the benefit of
my spouse to be administered in accordance with the terms of Article VI hereof.
B. If my spouse fails to survive my death by thirty (30} days, then I give, devise and
bequeath the rest and residue of my estate in EQUAL shares to my children, CURTIS A.
EDGIN and DIANE L. MILLER, per stirpes.
4
Article VI
The share of my estate that is set aside for JULIA R. EDGIN shall be held by my
Trustee, CURTIS A. EDGIN, or his successor(s), in trust for JULIA R. EDGIN's benefit in a
Third-Party Special Needs Trust in accordance with the following provisions. I hereby nominate
and appoint my son, CURTIS A. EDGIN, as Trustee of the Third-Party Special Needs Trust
under this my Last Will and Testament. If CURTIS A. EDGIN is unable or unwilling to serve,
I appoint my daughter, DIANE L. MILLER, as successor Trustee.
A. INTENT
It is my intention by this trust to create a purely discretionary supplemental care fund for
the benefit of JULIA R. EDGIN and not to displace financial assistance that may otherwise be
available to her. Illustrative of the kinds of supplemental, non-support disbursements that would
be appropriate for my Trustee to make from this trust for JULIA R. EDGIN include:
sophisticated medical or dental or diagnostic work or treatment for which there are not funds
otherwise available, including plastic surgery or other non-necessary medical procedures; private
rehabilitative training; dental care; recreation and transportation; differentials in cost between
housing and shelter for shared and private rooms in institutional settings; supplemental nursing
care and similar care that assistance programs may not otherwise provide; telephone and
television service; companions for travel, reading, driving and cultural experiences and payments
to bring her children or grandchildren for visitation in the event my Trustee deems that
appropriate and reasonable.
B. It is important that JULIA R. EDGIN maintain a high level of human dignity and
that her care be humane. If this trust were to be eroded by creditors, subjected to liens or
encumbrances, or cause assistance benefits to be unavailable or terminated, it is likely that the
trust corpus would be depleted prior to her death, especially if the cost of care for her would be
5
high. In such event there would be no coverage for emergencies or supplementation to basic
needs. The trust provisions contained in this instrument should be interpreted by my Trustee in
light of these concerns and this intent.
C. My Trustee shall pay or apply for the benefit of my wife for her lifetime such
amounts from the principal or income, or both, of this trust up to the whole thereof, as the
Trustee, in the Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, may from time to time deem necessary or
advisable for the satisfaction of JULIA R. EDGIN's special non-support needs, if any. Any
income not distributed shall be added annually to principal. As used in this instrument, "special
non-support needs" refers to the requisites for maintaining my wife's good health, safety and
welfare when, in the discretion of the Trustee, such requisites are not being provided by any
public agency, office or department of the state where she lives or of the United States, or are not
otherwise being provided by other sources of income available to her. Special non-support needs
shall include but shall not be limited to the list of suggested non-support items set out in this
article.
D. In the event that she is unable to maintain and support herself independently, the
Trustee may, in the exercise of the Trustee's best judgment and fiduciary duty, seek support and
maintenance for her from all available public and private sources. The Trustee shall take into
consideration the applicable resources and limitations of any public assistance program for which
she is eligible. In carrying out the provisions of this trust, my Trustee shall be mindful of the
probable future needs of my wife, but not of the trust remainder beneficiaries.
E. No part of the corpus of the trust created by this article shall be used to supplant or
replace public assistance benefits of any county, state, federal or other governmental agency that
has a legal responsibility to serve persons with disabilities that are the same or similar to those
which JULIA R. EDGIN may be experiencing. For purposes of determining my wife's public
6
assistance eligibility, no part of the principal or undistributed income of the trust shall be
considered available to her. In the event that the Trustee is required to release principal or
income of the trust to or on behalf of JULIA R. EDGIN to pay for benefits or services which
such public assistance is otherwise authorized to provide were it not for the existence of this
trust, or in the event the Trustee is requested to petition the court or any other administrative
agency for the release of trust principal or income for this purpose, the Trustee is authorized to
deny such request. My Trustee is authorized, in the Trustee's discretion, to take whatever
administrative or judicial steps may be necessary to continue the public assistance program
eligibility of JULIA R. EDGIN, including obtaining instructions from a court of competent
jurisdiction ruling that the trust corpus is not available to the beneficiary for such eligibility
purposes. Further, my Trustee should cooperate with the beneficiary's conservator, guardian, or
legal representative to seek support and maintenance for the beneficiary from all available
resources, including but not limited to, the Supplemental Social Security Income Program (SSI);
the Medicaid Program; and any additional, similar or successor programs; and from any private
support sources. Any expense of the Trustee, including reasonable attorney fees, shall be a
proper charge to the trust.
F. SPENDTHRIFT PROVISIONS
No interest in the principal or income of this trust shall be anticipated, assigned or
encumbered or shall be subject to any creditor or to any legal process prior to the actual receipt
by the beneficiary. Furthermore, because this trust is to be conserved and maintained for the
special non-support needs of JULIA R. EDGIN throughout her life, no part of the corpus
hereof, neither principal nor undistributed income, shall be construed as part of JULIA R.
EDGIN's estate or be subject to the claims of voluntary or involuntary creditors for the provision
of care and services, including residential care by any public entity, office, department, or agency
7
of any state or the United States or any governmental agency. Under no circumstances can the
beneficiary compel a distribution.
G. BENEFICIARIES OF TRUST RESIDUE UPON DEATH OF DISABLED
BENEFICIARY
Unless sooner terminated, the trust created for JULIA R. EDGIN shall terminate upon
her death. At that time all remaining trust assets shall be distributed to my children, CURTIS A.
EDGIN and DIANE L. MILLER, per stirpes.
H. TRUSTEE'S POWERS
Subject to the requirement that my Trustee be prudent, my Trustee shall have full power
and authority to manage and control the trust estate and to sell, exchange, lease, rent, assign,
transfer and otherwise dispose of any or part thereof upon such terms and conditions as my
Trustee may, in my Trustee's discretion, deem proper. My Trustee may invest or reinvest all or
any part of the trust estate in such common or preferred stocks, bonds, debentures, mortgages,
deeds, deeds of trust, notes and other securities, investments of property, including common trust
funds, which my Trustee, in my Trustee's absolute discretion, may select or determine. It is my
express intention that the Trustee shall have full power to invest and reinvest the trust funds as I
might do if living, without being restricted to forms of investments which Trustees may be
otherwise permitted by law to make, and without any requirements as to diversification of
investments. My Trustee may continue to hold in the form in which received, any securities or
any property which I might own at the time of my death or which my Trustee may at any time
acquire hereunder; and may invest any part of the trust funds in property located within or
outside of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
My Trustee is further authorized to invest in life, annuity, accident, sickness, including
disability, and medical insurance on behalf of and for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries.
8
My Trustee shall not be obligated to undertake litigation for collection of any benefits or
assets payable by reason of my death including, but not limited to, such benefits under life
insurance policies, employee benefit plans or other contracts, plans or arrangements providing
for payment or transfer at death which are payable to my Trustee unless my Trustee is
indemnified to my Trustee's satisfaction against any liability and the expense of such litigation.
Payment to my Trustee and the receipt of or release by my Trustee shall fully discharge any
payor, and no payor need inquire into or take notice of my Will to see to the application of such
payment.
To the extent that this trust is the beneficiary of a Retirement Account, the Trustee shall
draw the benefits from the Retirement Account in amounts sufficient to meet the minimum
distribution requirements of IRC Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder (the "Required
Minimum Distribution"). Notwithstanding any provision of the trust to the contrary, the
Required Minimum Distribution shall be applied for the benefit of the person or persons then
entitled to receive or have the benefit of the income from this trust, or if there is more than one
income beneficiary, the Trustee shall make such distribution to such income beneficiaries in the
proportion in which they are beneficiaries or if no proportion is designated in equal shares to
such beneficiaries. "Retirement Account" means a plan qualified under IRC Section 401, or an
individual retirement arrangement under IRC Section 408, or a Roth IRA under IRC Section
408A, or atax-sheltered annuity under IRC Section 403 or any other benefit subject to the
distribution rules of IRC Section 401(a)(9), or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent
federal tax law. It is my intention that this trust qualify as a "conduit trust" under IRC Section
401(a)(9) so that the trust beneficiaries shall be considered designated beneficiaries for purposes
of the minimum distribution rules, and that distributions may therefore be taken over the trust
beneficiary's life expectancy (or the life expectancy of the oldest trust beneficiary). The
9
Retirement Accounts shall not be subject to the claims of any creditor of my estate and they shall
not be applied to the payment of my debts, taxes or other claims or charges against my estate
unless and until all other assets available for such purposes have been exhausted, and even then
only to the minimum extent that would be required under applicable law in the absence of any
specific provision on this subject in this Trust. All distributions shall be made in accordance
with Artticle VI, Paragraphs A through F of this Third-Party Special Needs Trust.
My Trustee shall, in addition to the powers granted above, have all powers otherwise
granted under the Pennsylvania Fiduciaries' Powers Act as amended after the date of my Will
and after my death.
My Trustee shall specifically have the powers to invest in non-income producing assets.
I. UNSUPERVISED ADMINISTRATION
The trust created by this Will maybe administered by my Trustee free from the control of
any court that may otherwise have jurisdiction over my estate.
Article VII
If any beneficiary has not attained the age of twenty-five (25) years, the share of the
beneficiary shall be placed in a separate trust, for the benefit of that beneficiary according to the
following terms:
A. To expend and apply so much of the net income and so much of the principal of
the Trust as the Trustee shall consider advisable for the health, education, support and
maintenance of the beneficiary until the beneficiary attains the age of twenty-five (25) years.
B. Upon attaining the age of twenty-two (22) years, one-third (1 /3) of the principal
and accumulated income of the beneficiary's share shall be distributed outright to the
beneficiary.
10
C. Upon attaining the age of twenty-five (25) years, the remaining principal and
accumulated income of the beneficiary's share shall be distributed outright to the beneficiary.
D. If the beneficiary dies before the entire principal of the Trust has been withdrawn,
the remaining principal and accumulated income shall be distributed by my Trustee to the
beneficiary's then-living descendants, per stirpes. If the beneficiary dies before the entire
principal of the Trust has been withdrawn leaving no surviving issue, the remaining principal and
accumulated income shall be distributed to the beneficiary's siblings, per stirpes.
E. No beneficiary or remainderman of this Trust shall have any right to alienate,
encumber, or hypothecate his or her interest in the principal or income of the Trust in any
manner, nor shall any interest be subject to claims of his or her creditors or liable to attachment,
execution, or other processes of law.
F. At the time any distribution or distributive share of Trust assets is to be made by
the Trustee, if a beneficiary of this Trust is disabled as defined in Section 1614(a)(3) of the
Social Security Act (as determined by the Social Security Administration or by any State-level
disability determination agency operating under the auspices of the Social Security
Administration), and/or has been determined by a nursing home or State agency to be medically
eligible for nursing home care, then said beneficiary shall cease to be a Trustee of this Trust or
any Trust share hereunder and, thereafter, the Trustee shall not make any distributions to said
beneficiary that might decrease or eliminate that beneficiary's eligibility for any public benefits
based on need, such as, but not limited to, Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income.
G. In order to carry out the purposes of the Trust established by this Article VII, the
Trustee, in addition to all other powers granted by this Will or by law, shall have the following
powers over the Trust estate, subject to any limitations specified elsewhere in this Will:
11
(a) to retain in the form received and/or to sell either at public or private sale,
any real estate or personal property except that which I specifically bequeath herein,
(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 principal of diversification,
(d) to exercise any option or right arising from the ownership of investments,
(e) to compromise claims without court approval and without consent of any
beneficiary,
(f) to file fiduciary/income tax returns and pay the tax due for any year for
which such a return is required,
(g) to make distributions in cash or in kind, or in both, and to determine the
value of any such property,
(h) to the extent any trust hereunder is the beneficiary of a Retirement Account
(as hereinafter defined) my Trustee shall draw the benefits from the Retirement Account in
amounts sufficient to meet the minimum distribution requirements of IRC Section
401(x)(9) and the regulations thereunder (the "Required Minimum Distribution").
Notwithstanding any provision of the trust to the contrary, the Required Minimum
Distribution shall be paid to or applied for the benefit of the income beneficiary of such
trust, or if there is more than one income beneficiary, my Trustee shall make such
distribution to such income beneficiaries in the proportion in which they are beneficiaries
or if no proportion is designated in equal shares to such beneficiaries. "Retirement
Account" means a plan qualified under IRC Section 401, or an individual retirement
arrangement under IRC Section 408, or a Roth IRA under IRC Section 408A, or a tax-
sheltered annuity under IRC Section 403 or any other benefit subject to the distribution
12
rules of the IRC Section 401(a)(9), or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent
federal tax law. It is my intention that this trust qualify as a "conduit trust" under IRC
Section 401(a)(9) so that the trust beneficiaries shall be considered designated beneficiaries
for purposes of the minimum distribution rules, and that distributions may therefore be
taken over the trust beneficiary's life expectancy (or the life expectancy of the oldest trust
beneficiary). The Retirement Accounts shall not be subject to the claims of any creditor of
my estate and they shall not be applied to the payment of my debts, taxes or other claims or
charges against my estate unless and until all other assets available for such purposes have
been exhausted, and even then only to the minimum extent that would be required under
applicable law in the absence of any specific provision on this subject in this my Will,
(i) to employ any attorney, investment advisor, or other agent deemed
necessary by my Trustee; to pay from the trust reasonable compensation for all their
services,
(j) to conduct alone or with others, any business in which I am engaged in or
have an interest in at the time of my death, and
(k) to receive reasonable compensation in accordance with the standard
schedule of fees in effect while their services are performed.
H. I hereby appoint my son, CURTIS A. EDGIN, as Trustee of any Trust(s) created in
this Article VII. In the event of the renunciation, death, or inability to act, for any reason
whatsoever of CURTIS A. EDGIN, I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, DIANE L.
MILLER, successor Trustee of any Trust(s) created in this Article VII.
Article VIII
I nominate, constitute and appoint my children, CURTIS A. EDGIN and DIANE L.
MILLER, as Co-Executors of my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my Co-Executors be
13
permitted to serve without bond. In addition to those powers granted by law, I grant them power
to distribute in cash or in kind, in like or in unlike shares, and to file any qualified disclaimer I
could have filed if living. My Co-Executors shall receive reasonable compensation for services
rendered to my estate.
Article IX
In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my Co-Executors, in his/her
absolute discretion:
(a) to retain in the form received and to sell either at public or private sale, any real
estate or personal property except that which I specifically bequeath herein,
(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 principal of diversification,
(d) to exercise any option or right arising from the ownership of investments,
(e) to compromise claims without court approval and without consent of any
beneficiary,
(fj to file any federal income tax return for any year for which I have not filed such
return prior to my death,
(g) to make distributions in cash or in kind, or in both, and to determine the value of
any such property,
(h) to employ any attorney, investment advisor, or other agent deemed necessary by
my Co-Executors, and to pay from my estate reasonable compensation for all their services,
(i) to conduct alone or with others, any business in which I am engaged in, or have
an interest in at time of my death,
14
(j) to disclaim, in whole or in part, any property or interest therein which passed to
me or which was created for my benefit, for any reason in the discretion of my Co-Executors,
and
(k) to receive reasonable compensation in accordance with the standard schedule of
fees in effect while their services are performed.
