Page 2 of 2 Attorney Name: EDMUND G. MYERS r•~3 ~ r-n ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ,~ LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ~ c ~ .~` `._:h,~ r-: ~~ll SANDRA L. REECE ~ ~~~, ~.~ c~~. I, SANDRA L. REECE, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore made by me. I live with my husband who retired from the military service of the United States. FIRST: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the expenses of the administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect to property included in my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my residuary estate, without apportionment and with no right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property. SECOND: It is my desire that, upon my death, my body be cremated. THIRD: I give all my real estate in equal shares to those of my children (SHERRY BRADY, LARRY LUKUNICH and LAURA LUKUNICH and any other children which I hereafter may have) who survive me and to the issue who survive me of those of my children who shall not survive me, per stirpes. FOURTH: I give automobile to my granddaughter KATHLEEN YESCAVAGE. I give all funds in my checking and savings accounts to my granddaughters KATHLEEN YESCAVAGE and KRISTINA YESCAVAGE. All other tangible personal property I give to my daughter SHERRY BRADY. FIFTH: I give to my husband WILLIAM R. REECE, if he survives me, the smallest portion of my estate, if any, required to be given to my husband under applicable law, after taking into account the aggregate value of any other property passing to him under this will or otherwise. It is my desire and intent that my husband be disinherited by me to the fullest extent permitted by law. All provisions of this will, including without limitation any provisions which may refer to persons taking by intestacy, shall be construed to effectuate such disinheritance of my husband. I authorize my Executor to give to my husband such cash or property, outright or in trust, as my Executor may deem appropriate for the purpose of minimizing the effect of any right of election or similar statutory right to any portion of my estate which my husband may have under the laws of any jurisdiction. SIXTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows: (a) To those of my children who survive me and to the issue who survive me of those of my children who shall not survive me, per stirpes. (b) If no issue of mine survives me, I give my residuary estate to those who would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. SEVENTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute ownership in a minor or incompetent, my Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the whole or any part of such property to the beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or distribute the whole or any part to a guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the beneficiary under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with whom the beneficiary resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed by the person to ~~~ whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of my Executor from any liability with respect thereto, even though my Executor may be such person. If such beneficiary is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of the whole or any part of such property until the beneficiary attains the age of eighteen (18) years, and may hold the same as a separate fund for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article NINTH hereof. If the benefi- ciary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the beneficiary. EIGHTH: I appoint my daughter SHERRY BRADY to be my Executor. If my daughter SHERRY BRADY shall fail to qualify for any reason as my Executor, or having qualified shall die, resign or cease to act for any reason as my Executor, I appoint LARRY LUKUNICH as my Executor. I direct that no Executor shall be required to file or furnish any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction. NINTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred on executors under the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as amended, or any successor thereto, and all powers conferred upon executors wherever my Executor may act. I also grant to my Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale, exchange, grant options on, invest and reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for cash or on credit; to hold, manage, insure, repair, improve, demolish, divide, and otherwise deal with and dispose of any property; to borrow money and mortgage, encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to divide and distribute property in cash or in kind; to exercise all powers of an absolute owner of property; to compromise and release claims with or without consideration; and to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice. The term "Executor" wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office from time to time. TENTH: I direct that for purposes of this will a beneficiary shall be deemed to predecease me unless such beneficiary survives me by more than thirty days. The terms "child", "children" and "issue", as used in this will, include children and issue hereafter born. ELEVENTH: I may leave a letter of intent with the executed copy of this will for the purpose of giving guidance to my Executor concerning the distribution or sale of certain items of my property. I request, but do not require that my Executor honor my wishes therein expressed. This document was prepared under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 1044 and implementing military regulations and instructions, by Robert E. Samuelsen II, who is licensed to practice law in the State of Minnesota. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, SANDRA L.
