OD -.~-~ I, WILLIAM ROBERT WALP, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby expressly revoking all wills and codicils made by me heretofore, and dispose of my estate as follows: ITEM 1: I direct the payment of my just debts and funeral expenses, including a suitable and proper grave marker, as soon as conveniently can be done following my decease. ITEM 2: I direct that all State and Federal Transfer Inheritance Tax, Estate Tax, Succession Tax or any other tax, including any interest, assessments or penalties thereon, that may become due and payable by virtue of my death, or by virtue of the passing of any property either under my Last Will and Testament, or in any other manner, shall be paid from my residuary estate, just as if such taxes were my debts, and no beneficiary shall be required to pay or refund any part thereof. ITEM 3: I give and bequeath my tangible personal property as follows: A. my newest chest, screen, lady's desk, round table, and Asian blue lamp to my daughter, ELLEN; B. my loveseat, wooden wren, coffee table, plates in the dining room, cement birds, pitcher and lamp sets to my daughter, SUSAN; and C. all my other tangible personal property found in my residence at my death to Chapel Pointe or sold as its representative shall determine. The proceeds of any sale shall be distributed to Chapel Pointe Benevolent Fund. ITEM 4: All of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath in equal shares unto my children, CATHY, ELLEN and SUSAN. If a child of mine does not survive me, but has issue who survive me, then that deceased child's share of the residuary estate shall be distributed to the issue, per stirpes of such child, subject to the provisions of ITEM 5. If a child does not survive me and does not leave issue who survive me, then that deceased child's share of the residuary estate shall lapse. ITEM 5: I further direct, anything hereinbefore to the contrary notwithstanding, that in the event any or all of the distributions provided under ITEM 4 be to a beneficiary or beneficiaries while she, he or they are still under the age of twenty-one (21) years then such distribution(s) shall be made to the Custodian appointed in ITEM 10, as custodian for such beneficiary until age twenty-one (21) under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, 20 Pa.C.S. §§5301 et. seq. The foregoing is intended to comply with the requirements of 20 Pa.C.S. §5321 and shall apply to any beneficiary under the age of twenty-one (21) years. 2 ITEM 6: In the administration of my estate my Executor shall have the following powers without leave of court in addition to, but not in limitation of, the powers granted by law to the Executors of estates, which powers shall continue after the termination of my estate until actual distribution of the assets: A. To receive in the estate and to retain any assets, real or personal, to which may be entitled at the time of my death, which my Executor may deem for the best interest of the estate without being required to convert said assets into so-called "legal investments". B. To invest and reinvest in such securities as a prudent investor of intelligence and discretion would buy for himself for investment, and not for speculation, giving due regard to the safety of the principal and the adequacy of the income, and without being limited to the so-called "legal investments" of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said investment authority to include the right to invest in any Discretionary or Legal Common Trust Fund that may be administered and managed by a Corporate Executor or Corporate Trustee. C. To sell or buy real estate without Court order at public or private sale; to make, execute and deliver or receive good and sufficient deeds of conveyance and give or receive good title therefor; to reinvest the proceeds as if they had originated in personal property; to mortgage or encumber any real estate comprising part of my estate, 3 borrowing the necessary funds from himself or from any other source; to improve any property or otherwise expend principal funds for the upkeep and welfare of any properties; to release, vacate and abandon the same; to grant and acquire licenses and easements with respect thereto; to make improvements to or upon the same; and in general to do all things necessary in the management of the properties as if he is the owner thereof, including the right to let property and to make leases for any term. The purchaser shall not be required to see to the proper application of proceeds but may pay the same over to the Executor selling the same. D. To make distribution hereunder in cash or of property and securities in kind at fair market value at the time of such distribution and in such a manner as to be fair, equitable and just to all concerned. Distributions of property and securities are not required to be identical among the beneficiaries, and some may receive one type of property or security while another may receive another type of property or security. E. To exercise any election or privilege given by the federal and other tax laws, including but not limited to, the election of the alternate valuation date for federal estate tax purposes, the election to claim deductions for federal estate tax or for federal income tax purposes, and the election of the method of payment of pension, profit- sharing, HR-10, individual retirement account, and any other similar benefits. In addition, my Executor, in his sole discretion, may make or not make equitable adjustment among the beneficiaries, without the consent of the beneficiaries, for the 4 exercise or non-exercise of any election or privileges. ITEM 7: If, for any reason, a guardian over the estate of a beneficiary or beneficiaries is needed or required, the Custodian appointed under ITEM 10 shall be the guardian of the estate of such beneficiary or beneficiaries, with the same rights, powers, privileges, duties and responsibilities as I have given to him or her as Custodian. ITEM 8: All references in my Will to issue shall include those born or adopted, either before or after the date of my Will. Adopted persons shall be considered as children of their adoptive parents, and they and their descendants shall be considered as issue of their adoptive parents, regardless of the date of the adoption. ITEM 9: I nominate, constitute and appoint my son-in-law, HULETT H. ASKEW, to be Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. If my son-in-law, HULETT is unable or unwilling to serve or continue to serve as Executor, I appoint my daughter, CATHY ASKEW as Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament.
