LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RAYMOND ROBERT PAINTER
I, RAYMOND ROBERT PAINTER, of Borough of New Cumberland,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make
this Will, hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils:
Article One: Tangible Personal Property:
§ 1.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property to My Wife, Helen JoAnn Painter
(My Wife), if she survives me. If My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath all my tangible personal
property in accordance with the terms of a personal property memorandum I may prepare. If no
such memorandum is located or received by the Executor within 60 days after being appointed as
such, after conducting a reasonable search for such memorandum, the Executor shall be held
harmless for distributing such property as hereinafter provided.
§1.2 If My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath such property not disposed of by
such memorandum, or all of such property if no such memorandum is located or received, to my
daughter, Anita Jo Painter of Burbank, CA, per stirpes.
§1.3 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any
policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
§ 1.41 direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
Article Two: Residue:
§2.1 I bequeath and devise all the residue of my estate, of whatever nature and
wherever situated, including any property over which I have a power of appointment, to My Wife.
If My Wife does not survive me, then I bequeath and devise all the residue of my estate to my
daughter, Anita Jo Painter, per stirpes, subject to the provisions of §2.2 hereinafter.
{}2.2 I give to the Trustee hereinafter named any share passing hereunder for the
benefit of any Beneficiary of mine, who shall not have attained the age of twenty-two (22) years,
to be held, administered and disposed of in accordance with the terms of Article Three hereof (the
"Beneficiary's Trust") for the benefit of such Beneficiary.
Article Three: The Benefieiary's Trust:
§3.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of the
Beneficiary's Trust, collect the income thereof and:
§3.1.1 While the beneficiary of the Beneficiary's Trust (the "Beneficiary")
is under eighteen (18) years of age, the Trustee shall apply to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiary so much of the net income and, if the net income is insufficient, so much
of the principal of the Beneficiary's Trust as the Trustee shall from time to time deem
necessary or proper for the Beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and complete
education, including preparatory, college and graduate education, and professional,
vocational or technical training, taking into account other available funds, including
the Beneficiary's assets. The Trustee shall annually accumulate any net income not
so distributed and add the same to the principal of the trust property.
§3.1.2 After the Beneficiary attains eighteen (18) years of age, the Trustee
shall distribute to or for the benefit of the Beneficiary the net income of the
Beneficiary's Trust in quarter-annual installments, or more frequently if the Trustee
deems it advisable, and so much of the principal as the Trustee shall from time to
time deem necessary or proper for the Beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and
complete education, including college and graduate education, and professional,
vocational or technical training, and to assist the Beneficiary with reasonable
wedding expenses, in the purchase of a principal residence or in the establishment of
a profession or business considered a good risk by the Trustee, taking into account
other available funds, including the Beneficiary's assets.
§3.1.3 Any Beneficiary upon reaching the age of twenty-two (22) years may
withdraw any or all of the principal of that Beneficiary's Trust.
§3.1.4 If the Beneficiary dies before the complete termination of the
Beneficiary's Trust, the Trustee shall distribute the property then held in trust to such
persons or corporations, (including the Beneficiary's estate), in such amounts and
upon such trusts, terms and conditions, as the Beneficiary by last Will may appoint
by specific reference to this general power of appointment; provided, however, any
portion of the trust property not subject to the Beneficiary's power of withdrawal
immediately prior to the Beneficiary's death may only be appointed to one or more
of the Beneficiary's issue, in such amounts and upon such trusts, terms and
conditions as the Beneficiary by last Will may appoint by specific reference to this
2
special power of appointment. Any property not so appointed shall be distributed to
the Beneficiary's then living issue, per stirpes, or if none, in accordance with the
provisions of intestate laws of Pennsylvania.
Article Four: Appointment of Fiduciaries:
§4.1 I appoint My Wife as Executrix of this Will. If My Wife is unable or
unwilling to serve or to complete the administration of my estate for any reason whatsoever, I
appoint my daughter, Anita Jo Painter, as first, contingent Executrix of this Will. All references
herein to the "Executor" shall mean my originally appointed Executrix, or my contingent Executrix,
as the case may be.
§4.2 I give my Executor the discretion and authority to name a person or persons,
including the Executor, to be the Trustee(s) of any trust which may be created under this will.
Article Five: Powers of Fiduciaries:
§5.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for
the faithful performance of the fiduciary's duties.
§5.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given
by law:
§5.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal property, including
stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company, without restriction to legal
investments;
§5.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time any real or
personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit, with or without
security;
§5.2.3 To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting
hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
§5.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee registration
form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in book entry form or
unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery;
§5.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims;
§5.2.6 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly
in each, allocating specific assets to particular distributes on a non-pro rata basis, and
for such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values;
3
§5.2.7 To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in
connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the
payment of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the distributive share of income
or principal of any person affected thereby;
§5.2.8 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion, any portion
of my exemption under Section 2631 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code to any property
as to which I am the transferor, including any property transferred by me during my
lifetime as to which I did not make an allocation prior to my death;
§5.2.9 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the Executor deems
such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries thereof;
{}5.2.10 To terminate any trust created herein, the principal of which is or
becomes too small in the Trustee's discretion to make the establishment or
continuance of the trust advisable, and to make immediate distribution of the then
remaining trust property to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust
property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to
the income of the trust property in proportion to their respective interests therein
or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries; provided,
however, no Trustee shall participate in any decision to terminate such trust if by
reason of such termination such trustee could receive a distribution of trust property
from such trust as aforesaid. The receipts and releases of the distributee(s) will
terminate absolutely the right of all persons who might otherwise have a future
interest in the trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to them and without
the necessity of filing an account in any court; and
{}5.2.11 To merge any trust created hereunder with any other trust or trusts
if the terms of any such trust are then substantially similar and held for the primary
benefit of the same person or persons.
Article Six: Provision for Taxes:
§6.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect
to any property subject to any such tax ("Death Taxes"), and any penalties thereon, shall be paid
by the Executor as follows:
§6.1.1 Death taxes due on the value of items of Tangible Personal Property
bequeathed pursuant to Article One shall be paid out of the principal of the residual portion of my
estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
§6.1.2 Death taxes, if any, due on the value of assets such as life insurance policies,
4
my IRAs or Annuities shall be paid out of the proceeds of those assets on a prorate basis before
distribution of the balance of the accounts is made to the beneficiaries named in the life insurance
policies, IRAs or Annuities.
§6.1.3 Any other death taxes due on all other assets shall be paid by the Executor out
of the principal of the residual portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
Article Seven: Provision for Debts and Expenses:
§7.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last
illness, funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate shall be paid from
the principal of the residual portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
Article Eight: Miscellaneous Provisions:
§8.1 As used in this Will, the term "Intemal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of subsequent
law.
§8.2 Whenever the Fiduciary is to distribute property to or for the benefit of any
beneficiary who is under (a) eighteen years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise suffers from
an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such beneficiary
inappropriate (as determined in the Fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in good faith), the Fiduciary
may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such beneficiary, may apply such
property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such property to a custodian for such
beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by the Fiduciary (including the
Fiduciary), under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such property
directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply),
without liability on the part of the Fiduciary to see to the application of such property. This
provision shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such
property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
§8.3 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, until the property is distributed
to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held for any beneficiary,
respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or liable for any contracts, debts,
engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or hereafter made, contracted, incurred or
committed, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such beneficiary shall have no power to
sell, assign or encumber all or any part of the principal sums or such beneficiary's interest therein,
respectively, or the income thereof, or to anticipate the income.
{}8.4 If any beneficiary hereunder should die within thirty (30) days after me or within
thirty (30) days after any other person the survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then
such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all purposes
hereunder.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RAYMOND ROBERT PAINTER

this Will, hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils:

§ 1.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property to My Wife, Helen JoAnn Painter
(My Wife), if she survives me. If My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath all my tangible personal
property in accordance with the terms of a personal property memorandum I may prepare. If no
such memorandum is located or received by the Executor within 60 days after being appointed as
such, after conducting a reasonable search for such memorandum, the Executor shall be held
harmless for distributing such property as hereinafter provided.
§1.2 If My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath such property not disposed of by
such memorandum, or all of such property if no such memorandum is located or received, to my
daughter, Anita Jo Painter of Burbank, CA, per stirpes.

policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
§ 1.41 direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
Article Two: Residue:
§2.1 I bequeath and devise all the residue of my estate, of whatever nature and
wherever situated, including any property over which 1 have a power of appointment, to My Wife.
If My Wife does not survive me, then I bequeath and devise all the residue of my estate to my
daughter, Anita Jo Painter, per stirpes, subject to the provisions of §2.2 hereinafter.

{}2.2 I give to the Trustee hereinafter named any share passing hereunder for the
benefit of any Beneficiary of mine, who shall not have attained the age of twenty-two (22) years,
to be held, administered and disposed of in accordance with the terms of Article Three hereof (the
"Beneficiary's Trust") for the benefit of such Beneficiary.
Article Three: The Beneficiary's Trust:
{}3.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of the
Beneficiary's Trust, collect the income thereof and:
{}3.1.1 While the beneficiary of the Beneficiary's Trust (the "Beneficiary")
is under eighteen (18) years of age, the Trustee shall apply to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiary so much of the net income and, if the net income is insufficient, so much
of the principal of the Beneficiary's Trust as the Trustee shall from time to time deem
necessary or proper for the Beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and complete
education, including preparatory, college and graduate education, and professional,
vocational or technical training, taking into account other available funds, including
the Beneficiary's assets. The Trustee shall annually accumulate any net income not
so distributed and add the same to the principal of the trust property.
{}3.1.2 After the Beneficiary attains eighteen (18) years of age, the Trustee
shall distribute to or for the benefit of the Beneficiary the net income of the

deems it advisable, and so much of the principal as the Trustee shall from time to
time deem necessary or proper for the Beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and
complete education, including college and graduate education, and professional,
vocational or technical training, and to assist the Beneficiary with reasonable

by specific reference to this general power of appointment; provided, however, any
portion of the trust property not subject to the Beneficiary's power of withdrawal
immediately prior to the Beneficiary's death may only be appointed to one or more
of the Beneficiary's issue, in such amounts and upon such trusts, terms and
conditions as the Beneficiary by last Will may appoint by specific reference to this
special power of appointment. Any property not so appointed shall be distributed to
the Beneficiary's then living issue, per stirpes, or if none, in accordance with the
provisions of intestate laws of Pennsylvania.

unwilling to serve or to complete the administration of my estate for any reason whatsoever, I
appoint my daughter, Anita Jo Painter, as first, contingent Executrix of this Will. All references
herein to the "Executor" shall mean my originally appointed Executrix, or my contingent Executrix,
as the case may be.

including the Executor, to be the Trustee(s) of any trust which may be created under this will

{}5.2.7 To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in
connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the

property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to
the income of the trust property in proportion to their respective interests therein
or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries; provided,
however, no Trustee shall participate in any decision to terminate such trust if by
reason of such termination such trustee could receive a distribution of trust property
from such trust as aforesaid. The receipts and releases of the distributee(s) will
terminate absolutely the right of all persons who might otherwise have a future
interest in the trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to them and without
the necessity of filing an account in any court; and
{}5.2.11 To merge any trust created hereunder with any other trust or trusts
if the terms of any such trust are then substantially similar and held for the primary
benefit of the same person or persons.

of the principal of the residual portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.

the principal of the residual portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
Article Eight: Miscellaneous Provisions:
{}8.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of subsequent
law.
{}8.2 Whenever the Fiduciary is to distribute property to or for the benefit of any
beneficiary who is under (a) eighteen years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise suffers from
an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such beneficiary
inappropriate (as determined in the Fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in good faith), the Fiduciary
may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such beneficiary, may apply such
property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such property to a custodian for such
beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by the Fiduciary (including the
Fiduciary), under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such property
directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply),
without liability on the part of the Fiduciary to see to the application of such property. This
provision shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such
property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
{}8.3 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, until the property is distributed
to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held for any beneficiary,
respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or liable for any contracts, debts,
engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or hereafter made, contracted, incurred or
committed, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such beneficiary shall have no power to
sell, assign or encumber all or any part of the principal sums or such beneficiary's interest therein,
respectively, or the income thereof, or to anticipate the income.
§8.4 If any beneficiary hereunder should die within thirty (30) days after me or within
thirty (30) days after any other person the survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then
such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all purposes
hereunder.

RE: Estate of R. Robert Painter
Dear Berne:
Since I was not getting anywhere with Frank Kelly, I called a friend of Anita's (John Desanto, Jr.)
who offered his assistance when Bob passed away. Bob got him interested in Masons, and he has been a
member for years. We accomplished more in 3.5 hours than Frank has in the last six months.
An estate account (5116-4646) has been set up with Charles Schwab. We are in the process of
transferring the Waddell & Reed stocks and the H.D. Vest estate account to the Schwab estate account.
MONY has already been transferred. The following is information you need for the state concerning the
stocks and value at the time of Bob's death.
Stock High Low No. of Shares
MONY (MNY) 31.27 31.24 100
Dow Chemical (DOW) 39.79 39.41 120
Praxair (PX) 37.99 37.55 75
Waddell & R6ad (W&R) 6.40
Average x shares
($31.26= $3,126.00)
($39.60 = $4,039.20)
($37.77 = $2,822.75)
We also set up an IRS Estate ID 16-6550788 per a copy of the correspondence from the IRS.
I retired last Friday (June 25), so you can call me at home if you have any questions. If you want
to speak with John, his telephone number is (717) 257-3933.
1 hope you are on the mend from your surgery; I have thought about you often. I was working 9-
11 hours a day, so I did not get much else done these last two weeks but work.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
H. JoAnn Painter, Executrix
