I, Margaret Almeda Harr, of Carlisle, South Middleton Township, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding,
do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking
and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my
just debts, funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the
administration of my estate as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. However,
my personal representative need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations
which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or
renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave
marker at the time of my death, I authorize my personal representative, in his, her or its
sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable marker at my grave, and
to expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
SECOND
I give and bequeath any Certificates of Deposits owned by me at the time of my
death to my children Mary Anne Varner, Anita Louise Corica and Kevin Roy Harr,
per capita, in equal shares, share and share alike, providing they survive me by sixty
(60) days.
~~ ~'~?/
d~
THIRD
I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate
whatsoever situated, in equal shares, share and share alike to my beloved children,
Mary Anne Varner, Anita Louise Corica, and Kevin Roy Harr provided that they
survive my by sixty (60) days, per stirpes.
FOURTH
If, at the time of my death, any beneficiary of this my Last Will and Testament is
under the age of 25 years or is, in the judgment of my personal representative, mentally
disabled, I give, devise and bequeath said beneficiary's share to my Trustee, PNC
Bank, of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in Trust for said beneficiary, in
accordance with the paragraphs below.
FIFTH
During the terms of any trust created pursuant to this Will the Trustee is
authorized to expend and apply so much of the net income and principal of each such
Trust as the Trustee shall consider advisable for the health, maintenance, support and
education (including college education, undergraduate and graduate) of each such
beneficiary until he or she attains 25 years of age, or until all such amounts are paid out
of the Trust. When the beneficiary attains the age of 25 years or is in the judgment of
my Trustee mentally sound, whichever occurs later, the Trust shall terminate and the
remainder thereof shall be paid to said beneficiary. If said beneficiary shall die before
the termination of said Trust, the Trust shall terminate and the remainder thereof shall
be paid in accordance with the paragraph above. I direct that no Trustee shall be
required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of the Trustee's duties in this
or any other jurisdiction.
SIXTH
My executrix and trustee are authorized and empowered to exercise from time to
time in his, her or its sole discretion and without prior authority from any Court, in
respect of any property forming part of any trust hereby created or otherwise in its
possession hereunder all powers conferred by law upon trustees or executors and the
testator intends that such powers be construed in the broadest possible manner.
SEVENTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint my beloved daughter, Anita Louise Corica, of
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Executrix of this my Last Will and
Testament. In the event Anita Louise Corica is deceased, unable or unwilling to serve
or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute and
appoint my beloved daughter, Mary Anne Varner, of Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, to serve instead. In the event Mary Anne Varner is deceased, unable or
unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate,
constitute and appoint my beloved son, Kevin Roy Harr, as personal representative of
this my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my personal representative shall not be
required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of his, her or its duties in this
or any other jurisdiction.
EIGHTH
I hereby declare it to be my expressed desire that my personal representative
employ Turo Law Offices of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, for legal advise and
assistance regarding this my Last Will and Testament, they having considerable
knowledge of my affairs, views and wishes respecting any matters that may arise at the
probate of this instrument, the administration of my estate, and the execution of the
powers herein mentioned.
iN WITNESS WHEREOF, i have hereunto set my hand to this my Last Will and
Testament this ~ C~~i day of /~4~.~ ~ , 2002.
