CLI?RK OI:
ORPf~1NS COURT
CUMBIRI,AND COURT, P;A
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
JUDITH LIPTON
I, Judith Lifton, of Silver Springs Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and
declare this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other Wills and Codicils by
me at any time previously made.
Cremation
ITEM I: It is my desire that my body be cremated and the expense
therefrom be paid out of my estate as a funeral expense. It is my desire that my ashes be
divided into two parts, and that one such part be given to my daughter, Stacey H. Popko
of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania; one such part be given to my daughter, Ilyse D. Lifton of
Portland, Oregon.
Provision for Taxes
ITEM II: I direct that all inheritance and estate taxes becoming due by
reason of my death, whether such taxes may be payable by my Estate or by any
recipient of any property, shall be paid by my Executor out of the property passing
under this Will that is not specifically devised or bequeathed as an expense and cost of
administration of my Estate. My Executor shall have no duty or obligation to obtain
reimbursement for any such tax paid by my Executor even though on proceeds of
insurance or other property not passing under this Will.
Dispositive Provisions
ITEM III: In appreciation for their many kindnesses and help, I hereby
make the following specific bequests:
Page 1 of 10
(a) The sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to Iris
Garman of Duncannon, Pennsylvania.
(b) The sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to
Bozana Laganin of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. It is my desire that
Bozana Laganin use this bequest for her retirement and not spend
the money on her children. In addition, it is my intention and
direction that Bozana Laganin be retained by my estate to upkeep
my residence for at least one year following my death. Bozana
Laganin shall be paid an amount equivalent to her annual salary, tc
be paid in bi-weekly installments or in such other installments or
lump sum as my Executor shall, in its sole discretion, deem
advisable taking into account the liquid assets of my estate and the
needs of Bozana Laganin, regardless of whether my estate retains
ownership of the house and if there are actual services for her to
perform.
(c) The sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) to Karen Butt of
Monroe Township, Pennsylvania. In the event Karen Butt does not
survive me, I give and bequeath said amount to her husband, Brian
Butt.
(d) My 1987 Mercedes 560 SEL to Chong Hui Knab of Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania.
Unless provided to the contrary, in the event a beneficiary under this Item III shall
predecease me, said beneficiary's gift shall lapse and the bequest shall be included
with and distributed as part of my residual estate.
ITEM IV: I give and bequeath all of my household furniture and
furnishings, automobiles, books, pictures, jewelry, china, linen, silverware, wearing
apparel, and all other like articles of household or personal use and adornment to my
daughters, Stacey H. Popko and Ilyse D. Lifton, or, if only one of them survives me, to
the survivor, to be divided between them in as nearly equal shares as practicable and
as they may agree. If they are unable to agree, my Executor shall make such decision
as to distribution.
ITEM V: I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue and
remainder of my property, real, personal and mixed, in equal shares to my daughters,
Stacey H. Popko and Ilyse D. Lifton, or, if only one of them survives me, to the survivor.
Page 2 of 10
ITEM VI: In the event both of my said daughters do not survive me, then I
give, devise and bequeath unto my Trustee, hereinafter named, all the rest, residue and
remainder of my property, real, personal and mixed, not disposed of by the preceding
portions of this Will, to be held IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the benefit of my
grandson, Benjamin Popko of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the following uses and
purposes:
(a) My Trustee shall have, hold, manage, invest and reinvest the
principal and income of the trust and shall, if my grandson has not
attained thirty-five (35) years of age, accumulate the income.
(b) Upon my grandson's attaining the age of thirty-five (35) years, he
shall, upon written request, be paid all of the remaining assets of
the trust.
(c) In the event my grandson dies before final distribution of the trust
assets, then the trust shall terminate and the then remaining trust
assets shall be distributed equally between the French government
for the benefit of the Versailles estate and the U.S. National
Taxpayers Union.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any trust created hereunder shall
automatically terminate and the principal and income be distributed
twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last surviving
beneficiary living at the time of my death.
(e) Except as otherwise may be provided, during the continuance of
any of the trusts created under the provisions of this Will, and
thereafter until the property is distributed to and received by a
beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held in trust for any
beneficiary, 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, including, without limitation, attachment, levy, and
seizure by any creditor, spouse, assignee, trustee, or receiver in
bankruptcy, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such
beneficiary shall have no power to sell, assign, anticipate, or
encumber all or any part of the principal sums of such beneficiary's
interest therein, or the income thereof.
Page 3 of 10
Appointment of Fiduciaries
ITEM VII: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my daughters, Stacey
H. Popko and Ilyse D. Lifton, or the survivor of them, to be my Co-Executors (herein
collectively referred to as "Executor"). In the event of the death, resignation, refusal or
inability of both daughters to serve as Executor, I nominate, constitute and appoint Iris
Garman to serve as Executor in their place.
ITEM VIII: I hereby authorize and direct Dean A. Weidner, Esquire, having
an office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to select a bank with its principal office in Europe,
preferably Switzerland, which is rated AA by Standard & Poor's rating service, or the
equivalent by another rating service, to serve as Trustee. Dean A. Weidner shall have
the full right, power, and authority to terminate any bank serving as Trustee, and to
designate a new bank as successor trustee, consistent with the guidelines I have
established. In the event Dean A. Weidner is unable or unwilling to select a Trustee, I
hereby authorize and direct Steven C. Wilds, Esquire, having an office in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, to select the Trustee, having the same powers and authority as if originally
so appointed.
ITEM IX: If at any time any minor child or mentally incapacitated person
shall be entitled to receive any assets hereunder, my Trustee shall act as Guardian of
the assets payable to such person and shall have full authority to use such assets in
any manner as such Guardian shall deem advisable for the best interests of such
person, including proper support, maintenance, medical, hospital, nursing and nursing
home care, high school, college, university, post-graduate or other education, without
securing court order.
ITEM X: My Executor, Trustee, and Guardian are specifically relieved from
the duty or obligation of filing any bond or other security.
Trustee Provisions
ITEM XI: Any trustee may resign at any time without court approval by a
separate acknowledged instrument delivered to each adult beneficiary and to Dean A.
Weidner, Esquire, or his successor, such resignation to be effective upon a successor
corporate trustee being appointed. If there are no adult beneficiaries, the instrument of
resignation shall be delivered to the parent or legal guardian of each minor beneficiary
and to Dean A. Weidner, Esquire, or his successor.
Page 4 of 10
ITEM XII: A Trustee shall be released from its administration of the trust,
based upon the Trustee's statement of account (which need not be in the form required
by Court), to be presented to each adult beneficiary and Dean A. Weidner, Esquire, or
his successor, or if no adult beneficiaries, by the parent or legal guardian of each minor
beneficiary and to Dean A. Weidner, or his successor. A release shall discharge each
Trustee from any accountability and liability to the trust, the beneficiaries of the trust, or
to any other persons interested or claiming to be interested in the trust as to all matters
embraced in the release or in the account, if any, with the same effect as if an account
of the Trustee for the period concerned had been judicially settled and allowed in a
proceeding to which such other persons were parties.
Powers of Fiduciaries
ITEM XIII: In the settlement of my Estate and during the continued
existence of the foregoing trusts, my Executor and Trustee of each trust shall possess,
among others, the following powers to be exercised for the best interests of the
beneficiaries:
(a) To retain any investment I may have at my death, so long as my
Executor or Trustee may deem it advisable to my Estate or trusts to
do so.
(b) To vary investments, when deemed desirable by my Executor or
Trustee, and to invest in such bonds, stocks, notes, money
markets, real estate mortgages or other securities, other than
options or futures, and 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 a trust or
for any other purpose, including any final distribution of my Estate
or any trust, my Executor or Trustee is 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 are required to be divided or distributed at their respective
values on the date(s) of their division or distribution.
(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 trusts, any or all real or personal estate or interest
therein owned by my Estate or trusts, severally or in conjunction
with other persons, or acquired after my death by my Executor or
Page 5 of 10
Trustee, and to consummate said sale(s) by sufficient deeds or
other instruments to the purchaser(s) conveying a fee simple title,
free and clear of all trust, and without obligation or liability of the
purchaser(s) to see to the application of the purchase money or to
make inquiry into the validity of said sale(s); also, to make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all deeds, assignments, options
or other writings that may be necessary or desirable to effect any of
the bequests or devises made in my Will or in carrying out any of
the powers conferred upon my Executor or Trustee in this Item
XIII(d) or elsewhere in my Will.
(e) To mortgage real estate and to make leases of real estate.
(f) To borrow money from any party to pay indebtedness of mine or of
my Estate or trusts, expenses of administration, or inheritance,
legacy, estate and other taxes.
(g) To pay all costs, taxes, expenses and charges, except as herein
noted, in connection with the administration of my Estate or a trust.
My Executor shall pay expenses of my last illness and funeral
expenses.
(h) To vote any shares of stock that form a part of my Estate or a trust
and otherwise to exercise all the powers incident to the ownership
of such stock.
(i) To assign to and hold in a trust an undivided portion of any asset.
Q) In the discretion of my Trustee, if the size of any trust herein
established shall become so small that it is impractical or
uneconomical to continue said trust, my Trustee may distribute all
accumulated income and principal to the then beneficiaries in
proportion to their interests.
(k) The right and discretion to elect the most appropriate settlement
options for any pension plans, individual retirement accounts or
other employee benefit options payable to my Estate or any trust,
assuming such election shall be in accordance with procedures
established by the plan's administrative committee or administrator,
as the case may be.
Page 6 of 10
(I) The right to engage accountants, attorneys, appraisers and other
agents, as deemed necessary by my Executor or Trustee, to render
advice to and/or to represent my Executor or Trustee, as my
Executor or Trustee deem necessary or appropriate to the
administration and preservation of my Estate or the assets of any
trust.
(m) To do all other acts that, in the judgment of my Executor or
Trustee, are necessary or desirable for the proper and
advantageous management, investment and distribution of my
Estate.
Miscellaneous Provisions
ITEM XIV: Any person who shalt have died at the same time as me, or in a
common disaster with me, or who shall fail to survive me by one hundred eighty (180)
days, shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
ITEM XV: A corporate fiduciary shall be entitled to receive compensation
for its services hereunder in accordance with its schedule in effect when the services
are performed, but not in excess of such compensation as would be approved by a
court of competent jurisdiction. An individual fiduciary (or their agent(s), if any) shall be
entitled to receive reasonable compensation for such fiduciary's services hereunder.
ITEM XVI: I have made no provision in my Will for my mother, Carole
Kahan; my brother, Michael Kahan; my two nieces, Jennifer Kopman Henry and Lisa
Kopman; and my sisters-in-law, Deborah Lifton Spencer and Anita Elson. In the event
any of these individuals challenges the probate of my Will or any provision thereof and
is not successful in a court of competent jurisdiction, then in such event, I direct and
require that such individual forfeit that share to which he or she claims to be entitled to
the fullest extent that the law of the jurisdiction in which I die domiciled permits a
testator to provide for such a forfeiture, but, in all events, there shall be excluded from
the share awarded to such excluded party the total additional cost incurred by my
Executor in resisting such challenge.

We are returning to you for filing the paperwork necessary for probate of the Will
on behalf of the above-captioned estate. Stacey Popko, the named executor, took her
oath at your office on March 18, 2011. The documents were held pending receipt of the
Renunciation of Ilyse D. Lifton (enclosed).
Please process this paperwork and contact me with any questions you may
have.
1 would like to stop by your office Friday morning (approx. 8:45 a.m.) to
pick up the Short Certificates. Please notify me as soon as possible If for any
reason the Short Certificates will not be ready for pick-up at that time.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions
regarding the above, please call me.
Sincerely,
WIX, WENGER &WEIDNER
