COLLINS I, DOROTHY A. COLLINS, of East Pennsboro Township, 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, to the extent possible out of my residuary estate, all of my just debts, funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate, including all estate, inheritance or other death taxes (other than generation-skipping taxes) and all interest and penalties thereon imposed, as soon after my death as reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need not accelerate and pay those unm,atured obligations which, in his or her 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 or her sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, ar~,tq expend: _~ sums from my estate for this purpose. ~=~,~~'., -~~' - -r~ :=. t `~ ~_~, _,-> t""',. _: _ _, ~: <,~`3 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DOROTHY A. COLLINS SECOND I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate to my children in the following percentages: (a) Fifty percent (50%) to JUDI C. PRITCHARD, provided she survives me by thirty (30) days, per stirpes; and (b) Fifty percent (50%) to JOSEPH F. COLLINS, provided he survives me by thirty (30) days, per stirpes. I direct my personal representative to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition of memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my personal. representative, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. It is my desire that both my children be present prior to the distribution of any items of personal property. Page 2 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DOROTHY A. CO~,LINS THIRD Any devise or distribution under this Last Will and Testament which is payable to any beneficiary who may be under twenty-five (25) years of age, or, in the judgment of the Trustee, mentally disabled, shall be held in a separate trust by JUDI C. PRITCHARD as Trustee until such beneficiary reaches twenty-five (25) years of age or during such period of disability. If JUDI C. PRITCHARD is unable or unwilling to serve as Trustee, I nominate, constitute and appoint JOSEPH F. COLLINS to serve instead. In the case of a beneficiary under twenty-five (25) years of age, the Trustee may distribute up to one- third (1/3) of the then remaining principal and accumulated income on the request of the said beneficiary, at or after attaining eighteen (18) years of age;; and up to one-half (1/2) of the then remaining balance of principal and accumulated income on the request of the said beneficiary, at or after attaining twenty-one (21) years of age; and up to the entire remaining balance of principal and accumulated interest at or after attaining twenty-five (25) years of age. During the term of any trust created pursuant to this Paragraph, 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-five (25) years of age, or until all such amounts are paid out of trust. 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 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DOROTHY A. COLLINS FOURTH I grant my personal representative the following powers. in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my personal representative shall hold by law: (a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive. (b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger, reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares. (c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate held or owned by my estate. (d) To operate any business that I may own at my death. (e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or general rule of law in (his, her or its) absolute discretion, it being my intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate. (f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, at any time forming a part of my estate in any mariner and on such terms and conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his or her absolute discretion. Page 4 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DOROTHY A. COLLINS (g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security. (h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass under this my Last Will and Testament. (i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate. (j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my personal representative for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the settlement of my estate. (k) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and conditions as to him, her or it may seem best and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he or she deems necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last Will and Testament. FIFTH I nominate, constitute and appoint JUDI C. PRITCHARD as personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event: JUDI C. PRITCHARD is deceased, unable or unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute and appoint JOSEPH F. COLLINS as personal representative Page 5 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DOROTHY A. COLLINS 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 or her duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
