I, WILBERTA E. MOOD of 105 South 15th Street, Borough of Camp Hill, Cumberland County,

consequence of my death, of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed, shall be paid from

ITEM 4: I give, devise and bequeath TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) to the

care facility provided that the Helen Krause Animal Shelter shall take possession and care of my cats so
that the natural lives of my cats shall be preserved. Should Helen Krause Animal Shelter no longer hold
the status of a "no-kill" animal shelter, I direct my personal representative to donate my cats, to another
"no-kill" charitable animal care organization which will insure that the natural lives of my cats shall be
' 33 1~
Page 1 of 7
preserved and that charitable animal shelter shall be given TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00)
for the care of my cats. Should I no longer have cats at the time of my death, this bequest will abate.

every nature and wheresoever situate, together with insurance thereon, to my niece, SUSAN ROTH of

ITEM 6: Should my niece, Susan Roth, predecease me or fail to survive my death by
thirty (30) days, I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of every
nature and wheresoever situate, together with insurance thereon, to my niece, ZOE CARUSO of 4098
Windy Road, Orefield, Pennsylvania 18069, per stirpes.
ITEM 7: My Executrix or her successors shall have the following powers in addition to
those given by law to be exercised by her in her absolute discretion, which powers shall be applicable to
all property held by her, effective without the order of any court and until the actual distribution of all
such property:

corporation or a holding company controlling it, as my executrix deems appropriate;
c. To sell, to grant options for the sale of, or otherwise convert any real or personal
property or interest therein, at public or private sale, for such prices, at such tune, in such manner and

assignments and transfers thereof without liability of any purchaser to see to the application of the

property, pledge of investments or otherwise, without liability on the part of the lenders to see to the

real estate and other property upon such terms and for such period as my executrix deems advisable even
for more than five (5) years and beyond the duration of any trust;
j. To deduct administration expenses upon either the federal estate tax return or fiduciary
income tax return with or without adjustment as between principal and income, as my corporate or
disinterested executrix shall determine;
k. To associate with them in the absence of a corporate fiduciary, an accountant, custodian
and investment advisor, and other agents and to compensate them from principal or income or both, as
my executrix shall determine, such compensation to be a reduction of the compensation of my executrix;
Page 3 of 7
To associate with her at any time, in her absolute discretion and of her choice, a
corporate fiduciary which shall have the same powers as my executrix, such designation by my executrix
and acceptance by a corporate fiduciary to be in writing;
m. To combine, without prior court approval, any trust herein with any other trust with
substantially similar provisions, although such other trust may have been created by separate instruments
and by different persons, and, if necessary to protect different future interests, to value the assets at the
time of such combination and to record the proportionate interest of each separate trust in the combined
fund; provided however, that no such combination shall be permitted if the effect of such combination
would be (I) to violate the applicable rule against perpetuities; (2) to disqualify any interest in one or
more of such trusts for a deduction for federal estate tax purposes which would otherwise be allowable;
or (3) to cause the loss of the exempt status of one or more of such trusts from the imposition of the
generation-skipping tax;

o. No trustee shall be required to qualify before, be appointed by, or, in the absence of a
breach of trust, account to any court (and failure to account alone shall not be considered such a breach);
nor shall trustee be required to obtain the order or approval of any court in the exercise of any power or
decision granted hereunder;
p. To allocate any generation-skipping transfer tax exemption from the federal generation-
skipping transfer tax to any property to which I am deemed the transferor under the provisions of Section
Page 4 of 7
2652(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and its successors, including any property transferred
under my will and any property not in my probate estate and any property transferred by me during life as
to which no allocation was made prior to my death, to the extent necessary to cause the inclusion ratios
applicable to such transfers to be zero;
q. To disclaim any interest in property without court approval; and
r. To do all other acts and things necessary or appropriate in the management,
administration and distribution of my estate or trust.
ITEM 8: In the event any legatee or devisee named in this will dies under such
circumstances that there is not sufficient evidence to determine absolutely where such legatee or devisee
survived me, I direct such legatee or devisee shall be presumed to have predeceased me and devise and
bequeath the gift in favor of that legatee or devisee to such persons and in such manner and in such
proportions as set forth in this will for distribution if the legatee or devisee predeceased me.
-~ ITEM 9: Until distributed, no gift or beneficial interest shall be subject to anticipation or
~ voluntary or involuntary alienation.
=.,
