including the expenses of my last illness and funeral, shall be paid out of my estate by my Personal
Representative hereinafter named.
ARTICLE TWO. I hereby bequeath all the remaining property of every kind and
description,(including lapsed legacies and devises),wherever located and whether acquired before
of after the execution of this Will, to the Trustee under the MICHAEL J. BURDULIS LIVING
TRUST AGREEMENT executed prior to the execution of this Will. My Trustee shall add the
property bequeathed by this Article to the principle of the above Trust and shall administer and
distribute said property in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, including any
amendments made before my death.
_
_ _ __ ��,�

Representative. In the event MICHELLE B. TROUT cannot act or is unable, then I appoint my
daughter TRACY BURDULIS-TROUT of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania as successor
Personal Representative. I further direct that any entity named as Personal Representative herein
shall not be required to give any bond in any jurisdiction,and that if,notwithstanding this direction,
any bond is required by any law, statute or rule of Court,no sureties shall be required thereon. My
personal Representative is authorized to administer my estate under independent administration

ARTICLE FOUR. Section 1. Definition of Death Taxes. The term"death taxes"as used

to pay any death ta�ces that cannot be paid by the Trustee from the assets of my probate estate by
prorating and apportioning those taxes among the beneficiaries of this Will.
Notwithstanding any other provision in my Trust,all death taxes incurred by reason of assets
transferred outside of my trust ar probate estate shall be assessed against those persons receiving
