MICHAEL J. FREY
I, MICHAEL J. FREY, of New Cumberland Borough, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish
and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous
Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon
after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need not accelerate
and
pay those unmatured obligations which, m his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more
advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial
plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my personal representative, in his, her,
r
Page 1 of 7 Pages
or its sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable marker at my grave, and to
expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
SECOND
I give, devise, and bequeath my gun safe and its contents at the time of any death to my
brother, BARRY L. FREY, providing that he survives me by sixty (60) days.
I give, devise, and bequeath my coin safe and its contents at the time of my death to my
sister, TRACEY A. HOFFMAN, providing that she survives me by sixty (60) days.
I give, devise, and bequeath my tools, including all hand tools and power tools, to my
brother, RICHARD H. FREY, providing that he survives me by sixty (60) days.
I give, devise, and bequeath my boats, boating equipment, and scuba equipment, that I own
at the time of my death to my brother, RICHARD H. FREY, providing that he survives me by
sixty (60) days.
I give, devise, and bequeath any vehicles that I own at the time of my death to my
girlfriend, SUSAN M. BRITT, providing that she survives me by sixty (60) days.
THIRD
I give, devise, and bequeath the entire rest and remainder of my estate together with all
insurance proceeds thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate as follows:
---~ A. Thirty-Five (35%) percent to my girlfriend, SUSAN M. BRITT, providing
~,
~' that she survives me by sixty (60) days, per stirpes;
B. Thirty-Five (35%) percent to my brother, RICHARD H. FREY, providing

Page 2 of 7 Pages
D. Fifteen (15%) percent to my sister, TRACEY A. HOFFMAN, providing
that she survives me by sixty (60) days, per stirpes.
FOURTH
If, at the time of my death, any beneficiary of this my Last Will and Testament is under the
age of twenty-two (22) years or is, in the judgment of my personal representative, mentally
disabled, I give, devise and bequeath said beneficiary's share to my Trustee, JACQUELINE M.
VERNEY, ESQUIRE, in Trust for said beneficiary, in accordance with the paragraphs below. If
JACQUELINE M. VERNEY, ESQUIRE, is unwilling or unable to serve for any reason, I
appoint ROBERT P. KLINE, ESQUIRE, to serve instead.
FIFTH
During the terms of any trust created pursuant to this Will the Trustee is authorized to
expend and apply so much of the net income and principal of each such trust as the Trustee shall
consider advisable for the health, maintenance, support, and education (including college
education, undergraduate and graduate) of each such beneficiary until he or she attains twenty-two
(22) years of age, or until all such amounts are aid out of the Trust. When the beneficiar
I ~ p y attains
t~ the age of twenty-two (22) years or is in the judgment of my Trustee mentally sound whichever
_r event occurs later, the Trust shall terminate and the remainder thereof shall be paid to said
beneficiary. If said beneficiary shall die before the termination of said Trust, the Trust shall
~, terminate and the remainder thereof shall be paid in accordance with the paragraphs above. I
direct that no Trustee shall be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of the
Trustee's duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
Page 3 of 7 Pages
SIXTH
My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empowered to exercise from time to time in
his, her or its sole discretion and without prior authority from any Court, in respect of any property
forming part of any trust hereby created or otherwise in its possession hereunder, all powers
conferred by law upon trustees or executors and I intend that such powers be construed in the
broadest possible manner.
SEVENTH
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall be subject
to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have
the power in any manner to charge or encumber his or her interest either in income or principal,
nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession
of my personal representative for the liability of such beneficiary.
EIGHTH
I nominate, constitute and appoint my brother, RICHARD H. FREY, Executor of this my
Last Will and Testament. In the event RICHARD H. FREY is deceased, unable or unwilling to
serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute and a oint m
PP Y
~~
brother, BARRY L. FREY, to serve instead. In the event BARRY L. FREY is deceased, unable
or unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute
and appoint my sister, TRACEY A. HOFFMAN, as personal representative of this my Last Will
and Testament. I direct that my personal representative shall not be required to give or post bond
for the faithful performance of his, her or its duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
