LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ~~~ `
GLORIA SMITH ;~.., ==~ -, ; _ _: -~

"t
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, GLORIA SMITH,
presently residing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make, declare,
and publish this as my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills
and codicils heretofore made by me at any time.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
I. Payment of Expenses. I direct that my Executor, hereinafter named,
shall have the power, but not the duty, to pay all my just debts, expenses of my last
illness, and funeral expenses from my estate as soon after my decease as shall be
found convenient.
DISPOSITIVE PROVISIONS
II. Personal and Household Effects. I bequeath my household and personal
effects and other tangible personalty of like nature (not including cash or
securities), together with any existing insurance thereon, to my daughter DAWN
ARCATI and my son JODY SMITH who are living on the thirty-first day after my
death, to be divided between them in as nearly equal shares as practical. Should
either DAWN or JODY not be living on the thirty-first day after my death, leaving
issue to survive her or him, said child's share shall be allotted to her or his then
living issue, if any, and in default of such issue, such share shall be added to the
share of my other child, or the issue, per stirpes, of any such other child who has
predeceased me. Any such personalty not so divided shall thereafter be disposed of
by my Executor by public sale or in such manner as my Executor shall select; all
proceeds therefrom shall form a part of the residue of my estate hereinafter
disposed of.
I may leave a memorandum setting forth suggestions as to the distribution of
certain items to DAWN ARCATI, JODY SMITH, or other individuals I may
designate, and, while the memorandum is not to be legally binding, I hope the
suggestions in it will be carried out.
III. Specific Bequests. I make the following specific bequests:
A. $600 to my daughter HOLLY MAHLER.
LJ
z_-~
- 1 -
If HOLLY MAHLER has predeceased me or is not living on the thirty-first
day after my death, her bequest shall be added to my Residuary Estate and
distributed pursuant to Article IV.
IV. Residuary Estate. I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate, whether real, personal or mixed, and of any nature
whatsoever and wherever situated to be disbursed as follows:
A. One-half (1/2) to my daughter DAWN ARCATI if she is living on
the thirty-first day after my death. If DAWN has predeceased me or is not living on
the thirty-first day after my death, her share shall be payable to her issue, per
stirpes provided that any share payable to her daughter, and my granddaughter,
DEANNA MARIE ARCATI, shall be held in trust, as set forth in this Item IV.A., by
the trustee herein named for and upon the trust, purposes and conditions
hereinafter set forth:
The share of my granddaughter, DEANNA MARIE ARCATI, (sometimes
referred to as "beneficiary" in this Item IV.A. and its subparts) as determined
under the provisions of this Item IV.A., shall be held primarily for her and to
promote her comfort and happiness, by the Trustee, IN TRUST, for the following
uses and purposes:
(1) The intent of this Trust is to enhance DEANNA's life but only to
the extent not provided for by insurance or any benefits received (or for which the
beneficiary may be eligible) through or from various governmental assistance
programs. The intent of this Trust is to supplement and not to supplant any such
benefits. All actions of the Trustee shall be directed toward carrying out this intent.
DEANNA, the beneficiary hereunder, shall not be considered for any purpose to
have access to principal or income of the trust.
(2) All property from time to time subject to this Trust is referred to
as the "trust estate".
(3) The Trustee may, in his absolute discretion, distribute so much
income and principal for the benefit of the beneficiary as the Trustee, in his sole
discretion, shall determine in order to not preclude benefits receivable by the
beneficiary through or from various governmental assistance programs. The
income and principal of this trust may therefore be used as judged appropriate as a
supplement to, but not to supplant, governmental or other assistance to DEANNA
and the Trustee may accumulate the income and add it to the principal of the trust.
The Trustee is prohibited from making any distribution to any governmental entity
to replace or reimburse or supplant any public assistance benefit of any county,
state, federal, or other governmental agency which has a legal responsibility to
~, ~
,~_
-2-
serve persons with disabilities which are the same or similar to those of the
beneficiary herein. In no event shall trust property be distributed in such manner
that any governmental financial assistance, which would be available to the
beneficiary if this trust did not exist, is in any way reduced, diminished, altered, or
denied. All terms of this trust, wherever they may appear, shall be interpreted to
conform to this primary goal. However, a distribution may be made by the Trustee,
in the Trustee's sole discretion, in order to meet a need of the beneficiary for
supplemental benefits not otherwise met by governmental financial assistance.
This trust is intended to assure that there shall always be an advocate of the
legal rights of the beneficiary.
(4) This trust shall be primarily for the benefit of DEANNA
MARIE ARCATI. The Trustee shall not be required to distribute income currently.
The Trustee shall not be held accountable to any beneficiary, primary or remainder,
if part or all of the principal shall be depleted as a result of distributions under this
trust in accordance with the terms of this trust. Any income not distributed shall
be added to and become a part of the principal.
Any determination made by the Trustee in good faith as to the manner in
which or the extent to which the powers granted by this trust shall be exercised
shall be binding and conclusive upon all persons who might then or thereafter have
or claim any interest in the trust property.
(a) Supplemental Benefits/Special Needs. The Trustee may apply
for the benefit of DEANNA for her lifetime, such amounts of principal or income, up
to the whole thereof, as the Trustee in his discretion may from time to time deem
advisable for the satisfaction of her special needs. As used in this instrument,
"special needs" refers to the items for maintaining the beneficiary's good health,
safety, and welfare when, in the opinion of and at the discretion of the Trustee, such
are not being provided by any public agency, office, or department of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or of any other state, or of the United States or the
benefits available from any of them. "Special needs" shall include, but need not be
limited to, supplemental medical and dental expenses; programs of training,
recreation and education; and essential dietary needs unless the providing of any
such enumerated purposes would limit or reduce any government benefits
otherwise payable. The Trustee shall not by his actions in any way reduce the
actual or potential services or financial assistance for basic maintenance, support,
medical, dental and therapeutic care or any other appropriate care or service the
beneficiary receives from any governmental agency.
(b) Spendthrift Provision. No interest in the principal or income of
this trust shall be anticipated, assigned, or encumbered, or shall be subject to any
creditor's claim or to legal process, prior to its actual receipt by the beneficiary.
f --
% t..~ ...
-3-
Furthermore, because this trust is to be conserved and maintained for the special
needs of DEANNA MARIE ARCATI, no part of the corpus thereof, neither principal
nor undistributed income, shall be subject to the claims of voluntary or involuntary
creditors for the provision of care and services, including residential or institutional
care, by any public entity, office, department, or agency of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, or of any other state, or the United States, or any other
governmental agency.
(c) Public Benefits. The Trustee shall, in the exercise of his best
judgment and fiduciary duty, in making distributions to or on behalf of the
beneficiary for special purposes, take into consideration the applicable resource
limitations of any public assistance programs for which the beneficiary is eligible.
For purpose of determining the beneficiary's public benefits programs
eligibility, no part of the principal or income of the trust estate shall be considered
available to said beneficiary.
In addition, it is Testatrix's hope, which is precatory, and not mandatory,
that the trust property shall be expended for such advocates, both legal and
nonlegal, as may be necessary in order to protect any and all rights of the
beneficiary as well as to protect the integrity of this trust.
(d) Termination. This trust shall cease and terminate upon the
depletion of its assets or upon the death of DEANNA MARIE ARCATI. If
terminating on the death of DEANNA MARIE ARCATI, the Trustee shall distribute
any remaining principal and accumulated income to my grandchildren JAMES
PETER ARCATI and PHILLIP ANTHONY ARCATI. DEANNA shall have no
power of appointment over all or any portion of this trust.
(e) Ineligibility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the other provisions of this trust, in the event that the Trustee's
discretionary right to invade trust principal for the beneficiary herein has the effect
of rendering the beneficiary ineligible for Supplementary Security Disability Income
(SSDI) or any other public program, the Trustee shall terminate this trust, and the
undistributed balance of the trust estate shall be distributed free of trust to my
grandchildren JAMES PETER ARCATI and PHILLIP ANTHONY ARCATI.
In determining whether the existence of the trust has the effect of rendering
said beneficiary ineligible for SSDI or any other public program, the Trustee is
hereby granted full and complete discretion to initiate either administrative or
judicial proceedings, or both, for the purpose of determining eligibility, and all costs
relating thereto, including reasonable attorney fees, shall be a proper charge to the
trust estate.
..
~, ~ ,
-4-
(f) Expenses. Upon the death of DEANNA MARIE ARCATI, the
Trustee in the Trustee's sole discretion, may pay all expenses of such beneficiary's
last illness and funeral, and expenses related to administration and distribution of
the trust estate (including fees of the Trustee, his attorney, and other agents) if, in
the Trustee's sole discretion, other satisfactory provisions have not been made for
the payment of such expenses. The Trustee shall make no payments for obligations
incurred for said beneficiary's health, support, and maintenance if the Trustee shall
determine in his discretion that payment therefore is the obligation of any
governmental agency which has a legal responsibility to serve persons with
disabilities which are the same as or similar to those of the beneficiary herein.
(g) Situs. The situs of the Trust created herein for all purposes
shall be Cumberland County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
B. One-half (1/2) to my son JODY SMITH if he is living on the thirty-first
day after my death. If JODY has predeceased me or is not living on the thirty-first
day after my death, his share shall be payable to his issue, per stirpes.
C. Whenever any interest in my estate vests absolutely in a beneficiary
under the age of twenty-one, my Trustee as set forth herein may retain the interest
upon a separate trust and pay to the beneficiary as much of the net income or
principal as my Trustee may deem appropriate to provide for the beneficiary's
support, other needs, or education until the beneficiary reaches age twenty-one,
when the interest shall be paid outright to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary dies
before reaching that age, the interest shall constitute part of the beneficiary's
estate. This provision shall not apply to DEANNA MARIE ARCATI; a trust created
for her benefit shall be governed by the terms under Article IV.A.
V. Reason for No Gift. I have made no provision in this my Last Will for
my daughter, MARAGARET SOLOMON, or for the following grandchildren,
ALYSON MAHLER, NICHOLAS MAHLER, RANDY MAHLER, and JAKE McCOY,
as I do not wish any of them to receive any share of my estate. Except as set forth
in III.A., I have made no provision for my daughter HOLLY MAHLER and do not
wish her to receive any share of my estate.
FIDUCIARIES
VI. Executor. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter DAWN
ARCATI, as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event she is unable or
unwilling to serve, or predeceases me, I appoint my son JODY SMITH as Executor.
VII. Trustees. If a trust is created under Article IV.A. on behalf of DEANNA
MARIE ARCATI, I hereby designate my son-in-law, PETER ARCATI, as Trustee of the
trust created herein. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred on behalf of
-5-
the trust and shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for extraordinary
services rendered to the trust. If PETER ARCATI is unable to serve then I hereby
appoint as the alternate, my son JODY SMITH.
For any trust created under Article IV.C. on behalf of any beneficiary under
the age of twenty-one, I hereby designate my daughter, DAWN ARCATI, as Trustee
of the trust or trusts created therein. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for expenses
incurred on behalf of the trust and shall be entitled to receive reasonable
compensation for extraordinary services rendered to the trust. If DAWN ARCATI is
unable to serve then I hereby appoint as the alternate, my son JODY SMITH.
VIII. Bond. No Executor or Trustee shall be required to give bond or enter
security for the performance of their duties.
IX. Other. Any reference to the gender of a fiduciary or beneficiary described
herein shall not be deemed limiting but shall apply to the person holding the
fiduciary or beneficiary position whether male or female.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
X. Management Provisions. My Executor and Trustees and their successors
shall have, in addition to the powers and authority conferred upon them by law, the
following additional powers and authority:
A. Sell/Lease: To sell at public or private sale, exchange, lease,
mortgage or pledge any property, real or personal, at any time constituting a
portion of my estate, and upon such terms and conditions as he or she shall deem
wise.
B. Invest: To invest any money at any time in such bonds, stocks, notes,
real estate, mortgages, life insurance, annuities or other securities, or such
property, real or personal, as my Executor or Trustee shall deem wise, without
being limited by any statute or rule of law regarding investments by an Executor or
Trustee.
C. Retain: To retain, without incurring any liability, as investments,
any property owned by me at the time of my death, as long as they deem it wise,
and even though such property is not the kind of property an Executor or Trustee
would purchase as an investment; and even though to retain such property might
violate sound diversification principles.
' ' ~~
-6-
D. Title to Property: To cause any security or other property which may
at any time constitute a portion of my estate to be issued, held or registered in the
Executor's or Trustee's name, or in the name of a nominee, or in such form that title
will pass by delivery.
E. Expenses of Estate: To pay all costs, taxes, charges and expenses in
connection with the administration of my estate or trust.
F. Allocate: To determine what is "Income" and what is "Principal"
hereunder, and their decision thereon shall be final; and to purchase securities at a
premium or discount, and to apply or charge said premium or discount against
income or principal as the Executor or Trustee may determine.
