I, JEAN H. TAILOR, of South Middleton Township, Cumberland Co~mty, "~ -
Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, disposing memory and full legal age, do :hereby make,
publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking ,~11 Wills and
Codicils heretofore made by me.
ONE. I direct my Executor or Executrix, as the case may be, to pay all. of my
debts, funeral and administrative expenses as soon as convenient after my decease. Furthermore,
I direct that all state, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason
of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross
estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid
by the Executor or Executrix of my estate. Further, to the extent that sufficient assets exist in my ~
estate, any and all inheritance or other estate taxes, whether to non-charitable or charitable
beneficiaries, shall be paid by my Executor or Executrix from the residuary of my estate.
TWO. My Executor or Executrix may, at his or her discretion, compromise
claims, borrow money, retain property for such length of time as he or she may deem proper;
lease and sell property for such prices, on such terms, at public or private sales, as he or she may
deem proper; and invest estate property and income without restriction to legal investments
unless otherwise provided hereunder. I authorize and empower my Executor or Executrix to sell
any realty and/or personalty owned by me at my death and not specifically devised or bequeathed
herein, at public or private sale or sales and to give good and sufficient deeds and/or bills of sale
therefor, in fee simple, as I could do if living. My Executor or Executrix is authorized and
empowered to engage in any business in which I may be engaged at my death, for such period of
time after my death as seems expedient to said Executor or Executrix.
THREE. I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate of whatever nature and
wherever situate to my spouse, ALBERT E. TAYLOR JR.
FOUR. If my spouse, ALBERT E. TAYLOR JR, does not survive me by a period
of at least sixty (60) days, then I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate equally to my children and stepchildren, JOHN W. SLOBODA, JANE E. MURASKY,
LOUISE WALKER, CYNTHIA DELAQUILLA and JOHN TAYLOR, per stirpes, which
provides that the child or children of any deceased beneficiary shall take the share their parent
would have taken if living. Provided, however, if any heir or beneficiary is under the age of
twenty-five (25) years at the date of my death, then his or her share my estate I give, devise and
bequeath, to be held IN TRUST in accordance with the terms and provisions of Paragraph Five
hereunder.
FIVE. If any heir or beneficiary is under the age of twenty-five (25;- years at the
date of my death, then his or her share of my estate I give, devise and bequeath to be held IN
TRUST by the hereinafter mentioned Trustee according to the following terms and conditions:
Upon the creation of this Trust, the Trustees shall divide this trust principal into
individual shares in the name of each heir or beneficiary in the amount equal to the
amount that said heir or beneficiary inherited hereunder. The Trustee, as well as my
Executor or Executrix, as the case may be, is hereby authorized to retain, unconverted,
any property, real or personal, that I may own at my death and shall be under no duty to
convert it into legal investments. The Trustee shall have the power and authority to sell,
transfer, convey, invest and reinvest and to pay over the net income of the trust property,
to or for the use of said heir or beneficiary, or to accumulate it in the sole discretion of the
Trustee. The Trustee is also authorized and empowered to pay over to, or for the use and
2
benefit of my heir or beneficiary such portion of or all of the principal of the trust estate
as in the Trustee's sole discretion seems proper for their continued support, maintenance,
education, medical care or general welfare. My primary objective is to ensure the
continued support, maintenance, education and medical care of said heir or beneficiary
until he or she reaches the age of twenty-five (25) years. Notwithstanding the above
purpose of this trust, the Trustee, in the Trustee's sole discretion, may distribute any
portion of the income or principal of the trust estate over to any said heir or beneficiary
who has attained the age of twenty-five (25) years prior to the ultimate distribution hereof ~~~
as the Trustee deems proper for the health, maintenance, education or setting up of said
heir or beneficiary in a business or in a profession or for similar purposes. T'he Trustee
shall be under no duty to distribute or use the principal equally for each of the said heir or
beneficiaries, but may distribute or use principal unequally in its discretion. When each
heir or beneficiary reaches the age of twenty-five (25) years, then whatever remains of
income and principal of his or her trust estate shall be distributed to said heir or
beneficiary, per stirpes, which provides that the child or children of any deceased child
shall take the share their parent would have taken if living.
SIX. I hereby nominate and appoint JOHN W. SLOBODA to be the Executor of this
my Last Will and Testament. In the event he has predeceased me, failed to qualify or is not able
or does not serve for whatever reason, I then appoint JANE E. MURASKY to be the substitute
Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament, whereby the said substitute personal
representatives shall have the same powers as are given to the original Executor hereunder.
SEVEN. I hereby nominate and appoint ORRSTOWN BANK, or its successor to
serve as Trustee of the trust created in Paragraph Five hereof.
3
EIGHT. No person(s) shall benefit hereunder unless such beneficiary shall survive
me by sixty (60) days.
NINE. No Executrix, Executor or Trustee acting hereunder shall be required to
post bond or enter security in this or any other jurisdiction.
TEN. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge his or her interest in any
income or principal held or distributable hereunder, and no beneficiary's creditars may levy,
attach or otherwise reach any such interest.
ELEVEN. If any person or institution entitled to share in any distribution under the
terms of this my Last Will and Testament becomes an adverse party in any proceeding to contest
the probate of this Last Will and Testament, such person or institution shall forfeit his, her or its
entire interest inherited hereunder and all provisions in favor of such person or institution shall
be declared void and of no effect. The share of such person or institution so forfeited shall be
distributed as part of the residue hereof except that if such person or institution is entitled to
share in the said residue, that interest shall be distributed proportionately to the other residuary
distributees.
TWELVE. It is hereby my intent to specifically exclude my stepson, Robert Taylor,
and his issue, from any inheritance whatsoever under this my Last Will and Testament.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this ~,~"C~day of
October, 2008.
