I, H. ISABEL CARR, of 427 Summit Street, Lemoyne, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
17043 declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all prior wills and codicils.
DEBTS
FIRST: I direct that all my just debts, the expenses of my last illness and my funeral
expenses be paid from the assets of my estate.
I authorize my personal representative to pay out of my estate the cost of the
perpetual care and maintenance of the burial plot in which I shall be buried should arrangements for
the same not have been made and paid for prior to my death and shall also pay the cost of an
appropriate tombstone and memorial plaque.
DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY
SECOND: All my personal effects, clothing, furniture, furnishings, jewelry,
automobiles, other tangible personal property of every kind and insurance thereon, I give to my
spouse, WILLIAM F. CARR, if he shall survive me and if he shall not so survive me then to my
children, ISABEL L. CARR, MARY K. CARR, HELEN ANN CARR, JOHN L. CARR and
NORA J. CARR in equal shares, to be divided among them as they may agree or, if they are unable
to agree, as my Personal Representative may decide.
~~
BEQUEST OF SUMMIT STREET PROPERTY
THIRD: If my spouse, WILLIAM F. CARR, survives me and at my death,. the
property located at 427. Summit Street, Lemoyne, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17043, being
Tax Parcel Number 12-21-0265-001 of the Official Tax Map of the Borough of Lemoyne,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, (hereinafter referred to as "Summit Street Property") is owned
by me or by my spouse and me, but in a manner which would not result in the passage of full title to
him by operation of law, I devise my entire interest in said Summit Street Property to my spouse,
WILLIAM F. CARR.
DISTRIBUTION OF RESIDUE
FOURTH: I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue, and remainder of any
property which I may have the right to dispose of at my death, of all kinds and wheresoever
situate (including any property over which I may have a power of appointment or disposal at the
time of my death, and I hereby exercise any such power as part of the disposition of my residuary
estate) to my said spouse, WILLIAM F. CARR, if my spouse shall survive me, but if my spouse
shall fail to survive me or my spouse, or my spouse's Legal Representative, shall make a
qualified disclaimer under Section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from
time to time, or under such other compazable statute in effect at the time of my death, of an
amount or portion or all of any legacies made by me under this. will or of any other property of
mine,. whether we hold such property jointly with right of survivorship, or otherwise, then I give,
devise, and bequeath all of such disclaimed property (and insurance proceeds, if any) to my
Trustee pursuant to this Item Fourth - Subpazagraph C -Residuary Trust -Surviving Spouse, for
the following uses and purposes and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
A. MARITAL BEQUEST. In the event my spouse, WILLIAM F. CARR,
survives me, the. Trustees shall immediately divide the trust estate into a separate Marital Deduction
Bequest and. a Residuary Trust, which shall be funded, held and distributed as follows: the Marital
Deduction Bequest shall be a sum which, when added to the value of any other property with
2 d ~v~
//~1-Y..-~Y V
/ p,_.
respect to which a marital deduction is allowed in computing the federal estate tax on my estate,
equals the value of my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes reduced by the aggregate amount
of the deductions allowed under Sections 2053, 2054 and 2055 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or any corresponding provision of future law, and further reduced by the
maximum amount which my taxable estate for federal estate tax purposes could be reduced without
incurringany federal estate tax liability taking into account all credits against such tax available to
my estate, except to the extent that the use of any such credit would increase state death taxes. It is
my intention that the amount distributed to my spouse shall be the minimum amount of my estate
which will result in no federal estate tax on my estate, or which will result in the least amount of
federal estate tax on my estate if such federal estate tax will be due in any event. The Residuary
Trust shall consist of the balance of the residuary estate.
At the date of execution of this Will the federal estate tax exemption amount (also referred
to as the estate tax unified credit equivalent) is $3.5 Million (and repealed in its entirety for calendar
year 2010) which will most likely exceed the value of the assets comprising my gross estate at the
date of my death. Thus it is my intent that the Martial Deduction Bequest referred to herein shall
equal zero ("0") dollars with my entire residuary estate being available to fund the Residuary Trust
established pursuant to Item Fourth - Subparagraph C -Residuary Trust -Surviving Spouse hereof
upon my spouse failing to survive me or my spouse or my spouse's Legal Representative making a
qualified disclaimer with respect to assets passing to such spouse under my Will.
In funding the Marital Deduction Bequest, my Trustee is authorized to use cash. or
other property or a combination thereof, provided such property qualifies for the marital deduction
under federal estate tax law, and shall distribute such property to my spouse at the value of such
property as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes. My trustee shall, at the time of such
distribution, take into account any appreciation or depreciation in the value of such property then
available for distribution, in relation to the value of such property as finally determined for federal
estate tax purposes, so that the assets selected by my Trustee to fund the Marital Deduction Bequest
are fairly representative of any appreciation or depreciation in the value of all such property then
available for distribution in satisfaction of such Bequest.
3 ! ~ l./
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this my Will, my Trustee
shall not fund the Marital Deduction Bequest, to the extent there is sufficient other property
available to my Trustee which qualifies for the marital deduction, with property that is includible in
my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes and also subject by reason of my death to any
inheritance tax, transfer tax, estate tax or death duty in any foreign country or political subdivision
thereof.
It is my intention that the. Marital Deduction Bequest provided for my spouse herein
shall qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction. and I direct that all provisions of this my
Will shall be construed and applied in a manner that will not impair the qualification of the Bequest
for marital deduction purposes under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. I
further direct that insofar as any provisions of my Will could be construed to adversely affect the
qualification of the Bequest for marital deduction purposes such purposes shall be disregarded and
become mill and void.
B. DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL DEDUCTION BEQUEST. After
dividing the residuary estate as hereinabove provided, the Trustee shall pay over to my spouse the
Marital Deduction Bequest unless my spouse shall not have survived me or my spouse's Legal
Representative. shall have made a qualified disclaimer under Section 2518 of the Internal Revenue
of 1986, as amended from time to time, or under such other comparable statute in effect at the time
of my death, of an amount or portion or all of any legacies made by me under this Will or of any
other property of mine, including the amount~set forth in the Marital Deduction Bequest, whether
we hold such property jointly with right of survivorship, or otherwise. In such instance any bequest
so disclaimed shall pass to the Residuary Trust as set forth below.
C. RESIDUARY TRUST - SURVNING SPOUSE. I give and devise the
balance of my residuary estate to my spouse, WILLIAM F. CARR and my son, JOHN L. CARR,
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Trustee") to administer and distribute my residuary estate as
specified herein. The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of the Residuary
Trust, shall collect and receive the income therefrom and shall pay out of such income all expenses
and charges properly payable with respect to the Residuary Trust.
4 ~ `~
1. NET INCOME. During my spouse's life, my Trustee shall pay over
to my spouse, in installments not less frequently than annually, or apply for my spouse's use and
benefit, all of the annual net income of the Residuary Trust.
2. FIVE PERCENT LIMITATION. In addition, my Trustee shall
distribute to my spouse during my spouse's lifetime an amount from the principal of the Residuary
Trust which does not exceed noncumulatively in any calendar yeaz the greater of Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000.00) or five percent (5%) of the fair mazket value of the principal of such. Trust
determined as of the end of the calendar yeaz,-which my spouse requests in writing, providing that
such principal distribution shall be made only if my spouse delivers a written request to the Trustee
during the month of December of the calendar yeaz in which such distribution is requested.
3. HEALTH, EDUCATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.
Furthermore, my Trustee is authorized and empowered during the life of my spouse, at any time to
distribute to my spouse or apply for my spouse's use and benefit, so much or all of the principal of
the Residuary Trust as my Trustee may deem necessary or advisable for the health, education,
maintenance and support of my spouse. In determining whether to make withdrawals under this
paragraph of the principal of this Residuary Trust, my Trustee shall consider such other resources as
may be available to my spouse, including any public assistance benefits that any federal, state,
county or other governmental agency would provide to my spouse in absence of any distribution of
principal from this Trust. Further my spouse shall. not participate in any decision affecting the
invasion of principal from this Residuary Trust for his benefit or the benefit of anyone he is legally
obligated to support. All such decisions shall be made by the Co-Trustee serving with my spouse.
4. LIMITED TESTAMENTARY POWER. Upon the death of my
spouse, my Trustee shall distribute such portions or all of the principal of the Residuary Trust to, or
in trust for the .benefit of, the descendants of my spouse who survive my spouse, in such manner as
my spouse may appoint and direct by the Last Will and Testament of my spouse admitted to
probate specifically referring to this limited power of appointment.
: ~CG
5. LIMITATION. In no event shall any power of appointment
conferred upon my spouse be construed as a power in my spouse to appointproperiy in favor of my
spouse, my spouse's estate or the creditors of my spouse's estate.
D. FAMILY DISTRIBUTION. Upon the death of my spouse, or upon my
death if my spouse has predeceased me or has failed to survive me, the Trustee shall divide and
distribute the trust assets into as many separate equal shares as are required to provide one (1)
separate equal share for each of my then living children, ISABEL L. CARR, MARY K. CARR,
HELEN ANN CARR and JOHN L. CARR and one (1) separate equal share to the Trustee of the
Trust created under Item II B of the Will of John L. Lanshe dated February 20, 1981 and recorded
in .the Register of Wills Office of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania at Estate 21-82-293
(hereinafter "Nora J. Carr Trust") for the benefit of my daughter, NORA J. CARR, to be held,
invested and distributed as therein provided.
Should any child predecease me and die without issue, .such child's share (or the share
passing to the Nora J. Carr Trust if Nora J. Carr has predeceased me) shall be paid in equal shares
to my surviving children, or their issue, per stirpes, and the Nora J. Carr Trust if Nora J. Carr then
be living.
ORDER OF DEATH
FIFTH: If my spouse shall die simultaneously with me or under circumstances as to
render it impossible to determine who predeceased the other, I direct that I shall be deemed to have
survived my spouse and the provisions of my Will shall be construed upon that assumption
notwithstanding the provisions of any law establishing a different presumption of order of death.
POWERS OF EXECUTORS AND TRUSTEES
SIXTH: My Executors and Trustees and their successors shall have the following
