LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RUTH E. NEER
I, RUTH E. NEER, domiciled and resident at 70 Greenfield Drive, Township of
South Middleton, Cumberland County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, declare that this
document is my Will and revoke all my previous Wills and Codicils.
I.
IDENTIFICATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
I am married to FRANCIS O. NEER. I have no children.
II.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, DEBTS, AND TAXES
I direct my Executor to pay medical, funeral, and administrative expenses and all
taxes payable by reason of my death, before any division of my estate. My Executor shall
not attempt to have any part of such taxes apportioned among the recipients of property
includible in determining the amount of such taxes. Proceeds on insurance on my life up
to the maximum allowable as an exemption from Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax and
distributions from pension and profit sharing plans exempt from federal estate tax, all of
which are payable to my Trustee or any beneficiary (other than my estate), shall not be
used to pay debts, taxes, expenses of administration or other charges against my estates.
It is my express desire that my remains be cremated and the arrangements be
handed by Ewing Brother's Funeral Home and that my remains be buried in the
Stambaugh family lot in Cumberland Valley Memorial Gardens.
III.
SPOUSE SURVIVING
My husband and I married later in life. He was previously married with a
daughter to that marriage.
My husband, Frank, and I have our own separate estates. We own an automobile
and a home together. It is our intention that should I die before him or that if he would
die before me, the survivor would hold title to the automobile and the house until such
time that the survivor would no longer have use for the automobile or home. At that time
the automobile or home shall be liquidated and the proceeds therefrom would be equally
divided between our individual estates or to our heirs (my brothers and sisters or Frank's
daughter), provided, however, that I had not purchased my spouse's share as
contemplated in the next sentence. In the alternative, if it is feasible and prudent to do so,
and in an effort to keep the distribution of our assets equitably divided among our
separate estates, Frank may have the vehicle and home appraised and pay my estate one
half the then appraised value of these items.

Tangible Personal Propertv - My husband and I have many pieces of tangible personal
property which were brought into our marriage and which we desire to remain in our
respective families. Of this personal property the master bedroom set ""J .,.11 J:l,~lli.J.:"o'
in the master bedroom are given to Kim and Glen Van Fleet. On all other items of
tangible personal property we have place a color, adhesive circle on each item. The
circles are colored either, green, red or yellow. Any item having a green circle was
brought into the marriage by me and my family should have the first option to take any or
all of these items. Any item having a red circle was brought into the marriage by my
husband Frank and his daughter and her family should have the first option to take any of
these items. Items having a yellow circle were obtained by Frank and me during the
marriage. Such items should be divided among our families as my Executor determines
appropriate, in shares of substantially equal value. I recommend, but do not require, that
all such items of tangible personal property be appraised and that the families select in
rotation items at the appraised value, the order of choice to be determined by lot.
If the families do not desire any item, such item may either be sold or given to a
local charity by the Executor at his or her option.
