I, ELVA M. BOYER, currently residing at, 3300 Union Deposi�Roa� Ap� G�,9f�.
Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 17109, do hereby declare this�o�-�ie "�ny �st �i�
• ::� cx� r-- rn
and Testament, revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me� �{ � u, o
� �
I declare that I am widowed and that I have the following two (2) children born to me, Jo
Ellen Kirwan and Ginger Keffer, and that all references to my children are to them.
ITEM ONE: I direct that all my valid debts and the expenses of my last illness and
funeral be paid from my estate as soon as practicable after my death.
ITEM TWO: I give and bequeath all of my tangible personal property to my
residuary heirs under Item Three, below as follows:
A. All items of tangible personal property shall be inventoried and valued at a fair
market value.
B. I may leave a Memorandum listing some of the items of my tangible personal
property which I wish certain persons to have and request that my wishes as set forth
in the memorandum be observed by my Personal Representative. Any items of
tangible personal property not so designated shall be divided and distributed among
my residuary heirs as follows:
1. Each of my heirs may select one item, in rotation, in order determined by lot, until
such time at which the items chosen by each heir reach such heir's proportionate
share of the total value of my estate, or until such time as each heir wishes to
make no further selections.
1
2. Any items not selected shall be sold and the net proceeds added to the residue of
my estate.
3. To the extent my heirs are unable to agree, the decision as to what may constitute
"one item" for purposes of this selection shall be made by my Personal
Representative(s).
4. Any disputes concerning this method of allocation shall be resolved by my
Personal Representative in my Personal Representative's sole discretion.
5. To the extent my Personal Representative is unable to resolve a dispute among
two or more of my heirs concerning the in-kind distribution of any of my personal
property, I direct my Personal Representative to sell the disputed property and the
net proceeds there from be added to the residue of my estate.
ITEM THREE: I give, bequeath and devise all the residue of my estate, of whatsoever
nature and wheresoever situate, to my daughters, JO ELLEN KIRWAN and GINGER KEFFER,
in equal shares, per stirpes. In determining the value of a beneficiary's share of my residuary
estate, I direct that the value of my residuary estate be augmented by the value of any personal
property distributed in-kind under Item Two, above.
ITEM FOUR: Should any beneficiary of mine be under the age of twenty-five (25)
years, my Personal Representative shall hold such beneficiary's share of my estate, as Trustee, IN
TRUST and shall invest, reinvest and distribute the principal and net income of such
beneficiary's share as follows:
A. Until such beneficiary attains the age of twenty-five (25) years, my Trustee, in my
Trustee's sole but reasonable discretion, may pay or apply the income and any or all of
the principal of such beneficiary's share for the health, maintenance, support and
education of such beneficiary considering all other sources of income available to such
beneficiary and known to my Trustee. Upon such beneficiary attaining the age of
twenty-five (25) years, my Trustee shall distribute the balance of the principal and
accumulated income, if any, of each such beneficiary's share to such beneficiary.
2
B. Should the principal of the Trust Estate, in the sole opinion of my Trustee, be or become
too small to warrant placing or continuing of such fund in trust or should its
administration be or become impractical for any other reason, my Trustee, in the
exercise of their sole discretion, may pay such share absolutely to the person maintain-
ing such beneficiary or may place such shares in the beneficiary's name in an interest-
bearing deposit in any bank, bank and trust company or national banking association of
his choosing, payable to the beneficiary at majority, or if said beneficiary has reached
his or her majority,then to him or her directly.
C. All shares of principal and income hereby given shall be free from anticipation,
assignment, pledge or obligation of my beneficiary(s), and shall not be subject to any
execution or attachment.
ITEM FIVE: I appoint, my grandson, MICHAEL T. KEFFER, Personal
Representative of this my Will. In the event my grandson is unable or unwilling to act or
continue to act as my Personal Representative, I appoint my granddaughter, ANN M. KIRWAN,
my Personal Representative.
ITEM SIX: I appoint my duly appointed Personal Representative as Trustee of any
Trust(s) created pursuant to Item Four, above.
ITEM SEVEN: No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any jurisdiction.
No fiduciary hereunder shall have any liability for any mistake or error of judgment made in good
faith.
ITEM EIGHT: I authorize my Personal Representative(s) and Trustee(s) to exercise the
following powers in addition to those given by law,to be exercised in their sole discretion:
A. To retain any or all of the assets of my estate, without regard to any principle of
diversification, risk or productivity;
B. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments authorized for any
type of fiduciary;
C. To compromise any claim or controversy;
3
D. To loan money to or buy property from my estate;
E. To borrow money from any person, including any Executor or Trustee, and to mortgage
or pledge any real or personal property;
F. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to lease for any period of time, any real
or personal properiy, and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases, all for such
prices and upon such terms and conditions as they deem proper;
G. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to each as they deem
proper;
H. To repair, alter or improve any real or personal property;
I. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each at valuations fixed by them;
J. To keep reasonable amounts of cash in a bank uninvested if deemed advisable for the
protection of the principal;
K. To subscribe for or to exercise options for stocks, bonds or other investments; to join in
any plan of lease, mortgage, merger, consolidation, reorganization, foreclosure or voting
trust and to deposit securities thereunder, and to generally exercise all the rights of
security holders or employees of any corporation;
L. To register securities in the name of a nominee or in such manner that title shall pass by
delivery;
M. To add to the principal of any trust created by this instrument any real or personal
property received from any person by Deed, Will or in any other manner;
N. To exercise all power, authority and discretion given by this instrument after the
termination of any trust created herein until the same is fully distributed;
O. To use their sole discretion in deciding whether stock dividends on stock they hold in
trust should be apportioned to principal or income, except stock dividends of regulated
investment companies which shall be added to principal;
P. To commingle the assets of any trust estate created by this Will in any one or more
common funds for greater convenience and flexibility;
Q. To employ agents, accountants, engineers and such other persons, professional or
otherwise, as may be necessary for the proper administration of this estate or trust and to
pay their compensation from such funds; and
R. To disclaim all or any interest in a property passing to me or my estate.
ITEM NINE: I realize that Personal Representatives are given discretion by law to
make various elections which affect the income and estate taxes payable by estates and
beneficiaries, as well as the relative shares of beneficiaries, such as taking administration
expenses as deductions for either estate or income tax purposes, selecting options for the
payment of employee death benefits, electing to take a qualified terminable interest as part of the
marital deduction, selecting alternate valuation dates, postponing the payment of taxes, filing
joint income tax or gift tax returns and redeeming corporate stock. The decisions made by my
fiduciaries in any of these matters shall be binding upon, and not subject to question by, any
4
affected persons. I rely upon my fiduciaries to take into consideration the total income and estate
taxes payable by reason of their decisions including those payable by my survivors, and they are
authorized in their discretion, but not required, to make adjustments between income and
principal as a result thereof.
ITEM TEN: I direct that all estate, inheritance and other taxes in the nature thereof,
together with any interest and penalties thereon, becoming payable because of my death with
respect to the property constituting my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such
property passes under this my Last Will and Testament, shall be paid from the principal of my
residuary estate, and no person receiving or having a beneficial interest in any such property,
whether under this my Last Will and Testament or otherwise, shall at any time be required to
contribute to or refund any part thereof; PROVIDED, however, that this direction shall not apply
to the ta�ces on any property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment
thereover which I possess but have not exercised or on any qualified terminable interest or to any
generation- skipping transfer taxes.
ITEM ELEVEN: No gift or beneficial interest shall be subject to anticipation,
assignment, pledge, obligation, or alienation of my beneficiary(s), whether voluntary or
involuntary, and the income and principal thereof shall not be subject to any execution or
attachment.
ITEM TWELVE: If any beneficiary, person or entity in any manner, directly or
indirectly, contests or attacks this Will or any of its provisions, or objects to the accounts or actions
of my fiduciaries, without probable cause, such beneficiary, person or entity shall pay all costs,
including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising in connection with such contest, attack or
objection incurred by my estate, such trust or such fiduciary personally. In the event that such
beneficiary, person or entity does not prevail in such action, any share or interest in my estate or
such trust which would otherwise pass to such beneficiary, person, entity or remainderman under
this Will shall be revoked and the property consisting of such share shall be disposed of in the
5
manner provided herein as if that contesting person or entity had predeceased be without surviving
issue.
ITEM THIRTEEN: Should any of the provisions of my Will be for any reason
declared invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any of the other provisions of this Will and all
invalid provisions shall be wholly disregarded in interpreting this Will.
ITEM FOURTEEN: This Will shall be construed, regulated and governed by and in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on March 17, 2011,
set my hand and seal to this my Last Will and Testament consisting of six (6) pages plus any
witness, acknowledgement, affidavit and certification pages.
