I, Betty J. Spoke, of 19 Hollar Avenue, Apartment 105,
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind,
memory and understanding, do hereby declare this to be my will,
hereby revoking any and all former wills and codicils thereto by me
heretofore made.
I.
I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses,
including all expenses of my last illness, shall be paid from my
estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part of the
expense of the administration of my estate.
II.
I give those items listed on a separate unsigned memorandum
which refers to this my will by date to the individuals named
therein.
III.
I give, devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of every
nature and wherever situate to my children, namely Barbara Anderson
and Cheryl Wewer, provided that the share of any child who
predeceases me or dies on or before the thirtieth day following my
death shall be distributed to said beneficiary's issue, per
stirpes, living on the thirty-first day following my death.
IV.
Any fiduciary under this will shall have the following powers
in addition to those vested in them by law and by other provisions
of my will applicable to all property whether principal or income,
including property held for minors, exercisable without Court
approval, and effective until actual distribution of all property:
A. To retain any and all of the assets of my estate, real or
personal, without regard to any principle of
diversification of risk.
B. To invest in all forms of property including stock,
common trust funds and mortgage investment funds without
restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania
fiduciaries as they deem proper, without regard to any
principle of diversification of risk.
C. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to
lease for any period of time any real or personal
property and to give options for sales, exchanges or
J
leases, for such prices and upon such terms or conditions
as they deem proper.
D. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income
Page 2
or partly to each as they from time to time think proper.
E. To compromise any claim or controversy.
F. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.
G. To hold property in their names without designation of
any fiduciary capacity or in the name of a nominee or
unregistered.
V.
I direct that all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of
my death of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed,
shall be paid from my residuary estate as a part of the expense of
the administration of my estate.
VI.
I appoint Christopher C. Linn, my grandson, as executor of
this my will. Should my grandson predecease me, fail to qualify or
cease to act, I appoint Ian Wewer, my grandson, as executor of this
my will.
VII.
No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any
jurisdiction.
