LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
2012 SEP 25 AM 11 ~ OS
'That I, JUDITH A. WARD, a resident of Freeport, County of Cumberland an~ 'ne,
being of full age and sound mind and memory, hereby make, publish an e'~y
Last Will and Testament, and hereby revoke any and all Wills by me at a ereto ore
made.
ARTICLE FIRST: I give and bequeath all furniture, furnishings, rugs, pictures, books, silver or
silver plate, linen, china, glassware, objects of art, wearing appazel, jewelry, automobiles and
their accessories, and all other household goods and personal effects owned by me at the time of
my death, together with all policies of insurance relating thereto, to my spouse THOMAS S.
WARD, if surviving.
ARTICLE SECOND: I give and bequeath to my spouse, THOMAS S. WARD, if surviving,
all right, title and interest that I may have at the time of my death in and to any real property,
wherever situated, together with all rights that I may have under any insurance policies relating
thereto.
ARTICLE THIRD: All the rest and remainder of my estate, real, personal or mixed, wherever
situated, however and whenever acquired, I give and bequeath to my spouse, THOMAS S.
WARD, if surviving.
ARTICLE FOURTH: In the event my spouse, THOMAS S. WARD, predeceases me, or fails
to survive me for a period of thirty (30) days, I direct my Personal Representative to distribute
the residue of my estate, in equal shares, to my surviving issue, DAVID T. WARD, PETER F.
WARD and SUSAN RWARD-DIORIO, by right of representation. In the event any child of
mine predeceases me, I direct his or her shaze be distributed to his or her surviving issue, in equal
shares, by right of representation. If there be no issue of any predeceasing child or children of
mine, said share shall be distributed to my surviving children in equal shares.
ARTICLE FIFTH: Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding or subsequent Articles,
any beneficiary may, at any time or times, disclaim any interest in my estate or may disclaim any
portion of any such interest as follows:
1. Each disclaimer shall be in writing and shall be delivered to my Personal Representative.
A disclaimer by the Personal Representative of a deceased beneficiary, the properly
authorized attorney-in-fact of a beneficiary, or the Guazdian of a minor or incompetent
beneficiary shall have the same effect as a disclaimer by the beneficiary.
2. The disclaimed interest shall be disposed of, and the provisions of my will which relate to
the disclaimed interest shall be administered, as though the beneficiary did not survive me.
However, if my spouse should disclaim any part of my residuary estate, and if the
LAW OFFICES OF JOHN J. LYNCH
VINE STREET - P. O. BOX 6 - DAMARISCOTTA, MAINE 04543
disclaimer is a "qualified disclaimer" within the meaning of Section 2518 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the part which my spouse disclaims shall be held in a separate trust and
administered and disposed of as follows:
a) I appoint my spouse, THOMAS S. WARD, to serve as Trustee of this trust. My
spouse may at any time or times appoint an individual, bank, or trust company to serve
as Co-Trustee or to serve as the sole Trustee, if my spouse has failed or ceased to serve
as Trustee. If my spouse and the last Trustee appointed by my spouse should both fail
or cease to serve, and if my spouse should then fail to appoint a successor Trustee, I
appoint as Trustee, BATH SAVINGS TRUST COMPANY of Bath, Maine.
b) All of the net income shall be distributed to my spouse or applied for the benefit of my
spouse, in quarterly or more frequent installments.
c) My Trustee may distribute to my spouse, or apply to or for the benefit of my spouse, as
much of the principal of this trust as the Trustee, in the Trustee's sole and absolute
discretion, from time to time considers advisable for my spouse's health, maintenance,
and support. It is my intention that no principal be distributed to or for my spouse
under the preceding sentence while my spouse is serving as sole Trustee.
d) Upon the death of my spouse, the principal and any undistributed income then
remaining shall be distributed according to the provisions set forth under Article Fourth
of this instrument.
3
e) Any Trustee designated to act hereunder shall be known as the Spousal Trustee(s).
ARTICLE SIXTH: I intentionally omit making any provision for any person not specifically
mentioned in this my Last Will and Testament.
ARTICLE SEVENTH: I intend, on my death, that any property in my name and that of another
as joint tenants with right of survivorship, or which is in my name as Trustee for the benefit of a
named beneficiary, or which is payable to a co-owner, survivor, or named beneficiary will pass
to the survivor or beneficiary and I instruct my Personal Representative to make no claim thereto.
ARTICLE EIGHTH: I hereby empower my Personal Representative to sell, at public or
private sale, and convey any part of my estate, real and personal, deemed advisable by my
Personal Representative, the time, terms and conditions of sale to be determined by my Personal
Representative. My Personal Representative is authorized to sell or transfer real estate without
notice to any person succeeding to an interest therein.
ARTICLE NINTH: If any beneficiary less than 25 years of age becomes entitled to a share of
my estate upon my death or to a share of the principal of any trust estate upon the termination
thereof, such share shall be held by, and I give, devise and bequeath the same to the hereinafter
2
LAW OFFlCES OF JOHN J. LYNCH
VINE STREET - P. O. BOX 6 - DAMARIXOTTA, MAINE 04543
named Trustee (to be designated the Contingent Trustee), IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the
following uses and purposes:
3
To manage, invest and reinvest the same, to collect the income and to apply the net income and
principal for such beneficiary's benefit, including, but not limited to, the costs of the education of
such beneficiary, to such extent and at such time or times as the Trustee, in the Trustee's sole and
absolute discretion, deems advisable, until such beneficiary reaches the age of 25 yeazs, and
thereupon to transfer, convey and pay over the principal of the trust, as it is then constituted, to
such beneficiary. Any net income not so applied shall be accumulated and added to the principal
of the trust at least annually and thereafter shall be held, administered and disposed of as a part
thereof. Upon the death of such beneficiary before reaching the age of 25 years, the Trustee shall
transfer, convey and pay over the principal of the trust, as it is then constituted, to such
beneficiary's executors or administrators.
The Trustee is authorized and empowered to hold as a part of such beneficiary's trust any and all
articles of tangible personal property at any time forming a part thereof. The Trustee shall have
no duty to convert such articles to productive property, and the expenses of the safekeeping
thereof, including insurance, shall be a proper charge against the trust.
If the Trustee, in the exercise of the Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, determines at any time
not to hold or to continue to hold any property in trust, as hereinabove provided, said Trustee
shall have full power and authority to transfer and pay over such property, without bond, to such
minor's pazent or to the guazdian of his or her person or to the person with whom such
beneficiary resides.
The receipt of the parent or guardian or person to whom any principal or income is transferred
and paid over pursuant to any of the above provisions shall be a full discharge to the Trustee
from all liability with respect thereto.
ARTICLE TENTH: My Trustee may distribute outright to a beneficiary the beneficiary's trust
estate if at any time such a distribution is deemed appropriate in the Trustee's sole and absolute
discretion. If the beneficiary is a minor, such distribution may be made to his or her parents or
other responsible party having custody of the beneficiary or the beneficiary's legal guazdian or by
establishing a savings account in a savings bank in the. State of Maine in the beneficiary's name.
~Aw o~icES OF JOHN J. LUNCH
VINE STREET - P. O. BOX 6 - DAMARISCOTTA. MAINE 04543
ARTICLE ELEVENTH: My Trustee shall have all the common law and statutory powers
granted to said fiduciaries, including the power to buy and sell without license from the Probate
Court.
ARTICLE TWELFTH: Neither the principal nor income of the trust or trusts herein created
shall be liable for the debts of any beneficiary hereunder. No income or principal payable to or
for the use of any beneficiary under the trust provided for in ARTICLE NINTH shall be subject
to assignment, anticipation, or alienation by such beneficiary or anyone claiming his or her right,
or to interference, control, attachment, or legal or equitable process or bankruptcy proceedings by
creditors of such beneficiary or the marital rights of a spouse of any beneficiary.
ARTICLE THIRTEENTH: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint THOMAS S. WARD
Personal Representative under this my Last Will and Testament. In the event that the said
THOMAS S. WARD shall predecease me, or shall fail to qualify, or ceases to act, I nominate
and appoint DAVID T. WARD, PETER F. WARD and SUSAN R. WARD-DIORIO as Co-
Personal Representatives. I further nominate and appoint DAVID T. WARD and PETER F.
WARD as Co-Trustees (previously designated as the Contingent Trustee), of the trust or trusts
created herein.
I direct that in no event shall my Personal Representative or Trustee be required to give or
furnish any bond, undertaking or security for the performance of any of the duties delegated by
reason ofnon-residence, change of residence, or for any other reason whatsoever, in any state or
territory of the United States, or in any foreign country, and law now existing, or which may
hereafter be enacted to the contrary notwithstanding, such security being hereby expressly
waived.
