I, ALVIN R. BEAM, of South Middleton Township, Cumberland C��a:t�yy, Penr���lva�:ia;���
� --�-; , _
declare this instrument to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby expressl� revoking--��1 V��l�
and Codicils heretofore made by me.
ONE: I direct my Executrix to pay all of my debts, funeral and administrative expenses
as soon as may be done conveniently after my decease. Furthermore, I direct that all state,
inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and
interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross estate for death
tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid by the Executor
or Executrix from my estate, and that none of the aforesaid taxes shall be prorated among those
persons or entities named herein or otherwise beneficiaries hereunder.
TWO: I give, devise, and bequeath all of my estate of every nature and wherever
situate, to my wife, E. JANE BEAM, provided she has survived me by thirty (30) days or
more.
THREE: If my wife, E. JANE BEAM, has predeceased me or failed to survive me
by thirty (30) days or more, then all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of every nature
and wherever situate, I give, devise and bequeath in equa.l shares to PATRICIA A. BEAM,
WENDY M. (BEAM) GRAYBILL and her husband, RANDY GRAYBILL, and WANDA
J. (BEAM) BEERS and her husband, JAY BEERS, per stirpes. If any of my aforementioned
individuals should predecease me, then their share shall be distributed equally to the issue of said
predeceased individual who survives me. If one of the aforementioned individuals should
predecease me without living issue, then said share shall be divided equally by those individuals
who survive me and the issue of any predeceased individual who survives me, but in no event
shall all the issue of a predeceased child equally divide any larger share than my predeceased
child would have received if alive at my death.
FOUR: I nominate and appoint my wife, E. JANE BEAM, to serve as Executrix of
this my Last Will. If she has predeceased me, failed to qualify, or ceased to serve as Executrix,I
appoint WENDY GRAYBILL and WANDA BEERS to be the Substitute-Executors of this my
Last Will and Testament.
FIVE: My Executrix may, at her discretion, compromise claims, borrow money, retain
property for such length of time as she may deem proper; lease and sell property for such prices,
on such terms, at public or private sales, as she may deem proper; and invest estate property and
income without restriction to legal investments.
SIX: No Executrix or Substitute-Executors acting hereunder shall be required to post
bond or enter security in this or any jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 6th day of
November 2012.
