LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
RUBY G. WHITE
I, Ruby G. White, of 29 Smith Road, Gardners (South Middleton Township)';�.
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17324, being of sound and disposing rind, memory; , ;_v
and understanding, do hereby make, publish and declare this as and for-my'Last Will
and Testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills and Codicils ry
heretofore made.
FIRST
Cn -,
I direct the payment of my just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my
death as may be convenient.
I direct that all federal and Pennsylvania estate taxes, Pennsylvania inheritance
taxes, and generation-skipping transfer tax payable as a result of my death, not limited
to taxes attributable to property passing under this Will, shall be paid by my Executor
from my residuary estate, including any part of my residuary estate that otherwise
qualifies for a deduction for federal estate tax purposes, however, no federal or
Pennsylvania estate tax, Pennsylvania inheritance tax, or generation-skipping transfer
tax shall be payable from or chargeable to any property that passes to my surviving
spouse, whether under this Will or otherwise, and that qualifies for the federal estate tax
marital deduction. I direct my Executor not to seek reimbursement for any tax so paid
from any beneficiary under this Will, heir of mine, or other transferee of property
included in my gross estate.
SECOND
I declare that I am now married to Thomas J. White. We were married on August
2, 1952. We have two children together, to wit: Thomas Bruce White, a son born July
22, 1953; and Judy Lynn Barrick, a daughter born June 4, 1954. We each also have a
child by a prior marriage. I have a daughter, Carol Bruce Cipolla, born September 15,
1945, and my husband has a daughter, Ruth Ann LeBlanc, born August 22, 1947. We
both consider all four children to be equally our children. As used in this Will, the word
"c
"children" shall refer to all four of the aforementioned children and I refer to all as my
hild" even though Ruth Ann LeBlanc is not a natural or legally adopted child of mine. I
have no deceased children nor any other children living by my husband or otherwise.
THIRD
(a) All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real, personal and mixed,
and wheresoever the same may be situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my husband,
Thomas J. White, his heirs and assigns, to the exclusion of my child or children, born or
unborn, provided my said husband shall survive me by a period of ninety (90) days.
(b) In the event that my said husband should predecease me or fail to survive
me by the aforesaid period of ninety (90) days, then in such event I give and bequeath
any and all automotive tools that I may have at the time of my death to my son, Thomas
Bruce White.
(c) Also in the event that my said husband should predecease me or fail to
survive me by the aforesaid period of ninety (90) days, then in such event, after the
aforementioned specific bequest, all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real,
personal and mixed, and whisesoever the same may be situate, I give, devise and
bequeath, in four equal shares, per stirpes and not per capita, unto the following:
Last Will and Testament of Ruby G.White Page I of 4
(i) One-fourth (1/4) to Jeremy Mitchell, of 15 High Street, Livermore
Falls, Maine 04254, who is the son of Ruth Ann LeBlanc, and who
is my husband's grandson, and as a grandson to me, provided he
shall survive me by ninety (90) days;
(ii) One-fourth (1/4) to Carol Bruce Cipolla, of 165 Station Road,
Bernville, PA 19506, who is my daughter, provided she shall
survive me by ninety (90) days;
(iii) One-fourth (1/4) to my son, Thomas Bruce White, of 1611 Fulton
Road, Dauphin, PA 17018, provided he shall survive me by ninety
(90) days; and
(iv) One-fourth (1/4) to my daughter, Judy Lynn Barrick of 38 West
Epply Drive, Carlisle, PA 17015, provided she shall survive me by
ninety (90) days.
Should any of the said four residuary beneficiaries fail to so survive me then the share
such deceased child or grandchild would have received shall pass to such of his or her
issue as shall survive me by a period of ninety (90) days, per stirpes, and if there be no
such issue the same shall lapse and be added to the remaining share or shares.
(d) I make the following non-binding declaration: I have made no provision for
Ruth Ann LeBlanc, not for want of any love or affection for her, but rather because of
her ongoing medical conditions. Her son, Jeremy Mitchell, has assisted her in many
ways, and I hope that he will continue to do so with his share of my estate. I am
confident that he will continue to do so, but he shall be under no legal obligation to do
so.
FOURTH
I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my said husband as Executor of this
my Last Will and Testament. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation or
inability to act for any reason whatsoever of my said husband, I nominate, constitute
and appoint my daughter, Judy Lynn Barrick, as Executrix of this my Last Will and
Testament. In the further event of the renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act
for any reason whatsoever of my said daughter, Judy Lynn Barrick, I nominate,
constitute and appoint my son-in-law, Eugene ("Lester") I. Barrick, of the same address
as Judy Lynn Barrick, as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. I further direct
that no bond or other security shall be required of any Executor or Executrix appointed
in this Will for the performance of his, her or its duties in any jurisdiction in which he, she
or it may be called upon to act. The terms Executor or Executrix may be used
interchangeably in this Will and shall refer to any Executor or Executrix appointed in this
will, or any other Administrator appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
FIFTH
In addition to, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by law or by other
provisions of this Will, my Executor shall have the following powers, each of which may
be exercised from time to time by my Executor in his sole discretion:
(a) To retain in the form received, and to sell either at public or private
sale, or to distribute in kind, any real or personal property.
(b) To manage both real and personal property.
(c) To invest and reinvest in all forms of property, notwithstanding the
fact that any or all of the investments made are of a character or size
Last Will and Testament of Ruby G.White Page 2 of 4
which but for this expressed authority would not be considered
proper for an Executor.
(d) To exercise any option or rights arising from the ownership of
investments.
(e) To compromise claims without court approval and without the
consent of any beneficiary.
(f) To join with my husband, or his personal representative in the filing of,
any federal income tax return for any year for which I have not filed
such return prior to my death and to consent to the treatment of any
gifts made by him as being made one-half by me for gift tax
purposes, notwithstanding the fact that such action may result in
additional liabilities to my estate. Any income or gift taxes due on
such returns and any deficiencies, interest, penalties or refunds
thereon, shall be allocated between my estate and my husband or his
estate, or all to any of them, in such manner as my Executor and my
said husband or his personal representative may agree.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal to this my Last
Will and Testament, written on four (4) pages (including notary page), this 2nd day of
August, 2010.
