01, MELD f. WRIT, of Newville, Cumberland County, and Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, make this my Last Will and Testament and revoke all prior Wills
and testamentary instruments of any kind.
ARTICLE I. PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND FUNERAL EXPENSES. I direct my Executor to
pay all my just debts and funeral expenses from my estate.
ARTICLE II. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. My automobiles,
clothing, jewelry, books, pictures, furniture, furnishings, and other personal
or household items shall be transferred according to a list which I intend to
attach to this Will.
If there is no list, then all such personal and household items shall be
paid over and transferred to my brothers and sister, ROY D. WRIGHT, MARLIN P.
WRIGHT, and D. MARIE WRIGHT, according to their own arrangements. If they
cannot agree or arrange for a division in a friendly way, then my Executor may
distribute or dispose of those items in any way he deems to be fair, including
private sales or a public sale.
ARTICLE III. RESIDUE AND REMAINDER. All the remainder of the property that I
may own or that I may be entitled to dispose of or to appoint at the time of
my death shall be divided into three (3) equal shares. I give, devise,
bequeath, and appoint one (1) equal share to each of the following of my
brothers and sister: ROY D. WRIGHT, MARLIN P. WRIGHT, and D. MARIE WRIGHT.
Except as otherwise provided in my Will, in the event that any brother or
sister fails to survive me, that deceased brother or sister's share shall be
paid over and transferred in equal parts to my other siblings named above in
this Article III who are living at the time of my death.
ARTICLE IV. APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR. I appoint my brothers and sister, ROY
D. WRIGHT, MARLIN P. WRIGHT, and D. MARIE WRIGHT, to be Co-Executors of my
Last Will and Testament.
Any reference to "Executor" in my Will shall be deemed and taken to
include each and every person or party named or appointed to serve as the
personal representative of my estate, whether there is one or more than one.
Also, any reference to the masculine in my Will as it relates to my Executor
shall also include the feminine and the neuter wherever necessary. In the
event that a co-executor is unable or unwilling to act or to continue to act
in said office, then the other(s) may serve or continue to serve without the
need for the appointment of another co-executor.
ARTICLE V. WAIVER OF BOND. To the extent that such requirements can legally
be waived, I direct that no Executor named in my Will or any persons
succeeding in that office, whether in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or
elsewhere, shall ever be required to post any bond or give any security in
connection with his duties.
ARTICLE VI. EXECUTOR'S POWERS. In addition to powers given him by law and by
other provisions of my Will, my Executor shall have the following powers,
applicable to all property held by him, and these powers shall be effective
without court order and until actual distribution:
A. To sell at public or private sale, mortgage, exchange, transfer, or
lease for any period of time any real or personal property and to give options
for sales, exchanges, or leases for such prices and upon such terms or
conditions as he deems proper. No purchaser shall be held liable to see to
the application of any purchase money;
-2-
B. To retain any and all of the assets of my estate, real or personal,
in the sole discretion of my Executor, without being restricted to investments
authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries and without regard to any principle of
diversification or risk;
C. To delegate discretionary powers to agents, remunerate them, and pay
their expenses;
D. To collect rents and other proceeds from real estate, paying all
carrying charges and making such repairs as he may deem proper, all without
the necessity of obtaining leave of any court;
E. To carry on any business owned or controlled by me at the time of my
death for whatever period of time he shall think proper, with full powers in
the property, including the power to borrow and to pledge assets contained in
my estate as security for said borrowings;
F. To exercise any rights or elections to pay death taxes in
installments and to make interest payments on such installments as a charge
against the principal of my estate;
G. To disclaim on my behalf any interest as my Executor deems advisable.
All the foregoing powers, together with those granted by law to
executors, may be exercised by the Executor named in my Will and by all
persons succeeding in said office, including administrators with Will annexed.
ARTICLE VII. APPORTIONMENT OF TAXES. All estate taxes, inheritance taxes,
transfer taxes, and other taxes of a similar nature payable by reason of my
death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect to any
property subject to any such tax, together with any penalties thereon, shall
be paid by my Executor out of my residuary estate, and all interest with
respect to any such taxes shall be paid by my Executor out of the income or
-3-
principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the principal of such
portion of my estate, in the absolute discretion of my Executor, without
reimbursement from or apportionment among the beneficiaries, recipients, or
owners of such property for any such taxes, penalties, or interest; provided,
however, that my Executor shall not pay such taxes, penalties, or interest
attributable to any property included in my estate solely because of a power
of appointment thereover which I possess, and such property shall bear its
proportionate share of such taxes, penalties, and interest.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, MELVA 6 WRIGHT, the Testatrix, have signed this
Last Will and Testament, typewritten on four (4) sheets of paper (including
