LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
I, ALICE H. WOOSTER, a/k/a ALICE ELIZABETH WOOSTER, a/k/a ALICE
HAMMOND WOOSTER, of South Middleton Township, Cumberland County, 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 all 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 (gyp
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 ~t~rized end . _ =~~
`,
,_,_~ __,
_ r- _
-; ~.._~
_. _,,
_.. JJ .._.. ~~
~~
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 whatever equity remains in my cottage at 6
Moore Circle, South Middleton Township, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania to be
divided equally between MARTIN M. WOOSTER and ANN S. WOOSTER, per capita. In
addition, any and all personal property that remains in the aforementioned cottage property shall
be divided between MARTIN W. WOOSTER and ANN S. WOOSTER, as they shall so agree.
To the extent they are unable to agree or do not select any such personal property, the same shall
be and become part of the residuary under Paragraph Four below.
FOUR. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate ~~
as follows:
-.~
A. One-half (1/2) thereof to THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY at THE
UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI, for a scholarship in the name of Elmer Lionel Hammond; and
B. One-half (1/2) thereof to THE NATURE CONSERVANCY in Arlington,
Virginia, for its general charitable purposes.
FIVE. I hereby nominate and appoint MARTIN M. WOOSTER 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 ANN S. WOOSTER
to be the substitute Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament, whereby the said substitute
personal representative shall have the same powers as are given to the original Executor
hereunder.
2
SIX. No person(s) shall benefit hereunder unless such beneficiary shall survive
me by sixty (60) days.
SEVEN. No Executrix, Executor or Guardian acting hereunder shall be required to
post bond or enter security in this or any other jurisdiction.
EIGHT. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge his or her interest in any
income or principal held or distributable hereunder, and no beneficiary's creditors may levy,
attach or otherwise reach any such interest.
NINE. 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 pursuant to Paragraph Four 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.
TEN. If, under any of the provisions of this Will, any principal becomes vested
in a minor or incapacitated person, my Executor or Executrix, as the case may be, including any
administrator c.t.a., shall have the discretion either to pay over such principal or any part thereof
to any parent of such minor or incapacitated person, any guardian of the person or estate of such
minor or incapacitated person, or any individual with whom such minor or incapacitated person
resides, or to retain the same as trustee of a power in trust for the benefit of such minor during his
or her minority or incapacitated person. Any of the principal thus retained, and any of the
income therefrom, including the whole thereof, may be paid to or applied for the benefit of such
~p
3
minor or incapacitated person from time to time in the discretion of the trustee of such power.
When such minor reaches majority, the funds so held shall be paid over to such person, or, if he
or she shall sooner die, to his or her legal representatives. In so holding any principal or income
for any minor or incapacitated person, the trustee of such power shall have all the rights, powers,
duties and discretions conferred or imposed upon my fiduciaries acting under this Will. I further
direct that no bond shall be required from any person receiving a payment hereunder and receipt
from such person shall be a full discharge to the trustee of such power who shall not be bound to
see to the application or use of such payment. The trustee of such power shall be entitled to
commissions at the rates and in the manner payable to a testamentary trustee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this ~,/~day of
February, 2006.
