Federal law exempts this document from any requirement of form, formality, or recording that is prescribed for testamentary instruments under the laws of a state, the District of Columbia, or a territory, commonwealth or possession of the United States. Federal law specifies that this document shall be given the same legal effect as a testamentary instri.iment prepared and executed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is presented for probate. It sh�lt re�ain valid unless and until the Testatrix revokes it. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF PILSAENG BROWN I, PILSAENG BROWN, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore made by me. I am a dependent of a person who is retired from the military service of the United States. FIRST: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the expenses of the administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect to property included in my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my residuary estate, without apportionment and with no right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property. SECOND: It is my desire that, upon my death, my body be interred at Fort Indiantown Gap Cemetary. I have not contracted for or paid for any funeral arrangements. THIRD: I give all my real estate, and all rights that I have under any related insurance policies, to CHLTN H. BROWN, if he survives me. FOURTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows: (a) To those of my children CHONG HUI KNAIB and CHAN H. BROWN who survive me and to the issue who survive me of those of my children who shall not survive me, per stirpes. NEK' P.� � ,� (b) If no issue of mine survives me, I give my residuary estate to those who would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. FIFTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute ownership in a minor or incompetent, my Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the whole or any part of such property to the beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or distribute the whole or any part to a guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the beneficiary under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with whom the beneficiary resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed by the person to whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of my Executor from any liability with respect thereto, even though my Executor may be such person. If such beneficiary is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of the whole or any part of such property until the beneficiary attains the age of eighteen (18) years, and may hold the same as a separate fund for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article SEVENTH hereof. If the beneficiary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the beneficiary. SIXTH: I appoint CHONG HUI KNAB to be my Executor. I direct that no Executor shall be required to file or furnish any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction. SEVENTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred on executors under the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as amended, or any successor thereto, and all powers conferred upon executors wherever my Executor may act. I also grant to my Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale, exchange, grant options on, invest and reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for cash or on credit; to hold, manage, insure, repair, improve, demolish, divide, and otherwise deal with and dispose of any property; to borrow money and mortgage, encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to exercise all powers of an absolute owner of property; to compromise and release claims with or without consideration; and to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice. The term "Executor" wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office from time to time. EIGHTH: I direct that for purposes of this will a beneficiary shall be deemed to predecease me unless such beneficiary survives me by more than thirty days. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, PILSAENG BROWN, sign my name and publish and declare this instrument as my last will and testament this 19th day of May, 2008. r �r PILSAE BROWN 2 The foregoing instrument was signed, published and declared by PILSAENG BROWN, the above-named Testatrix, to be her last will and testament in our presence, all being present at the same time, and we, at her request and in her presence and in the presence of each other, have subs ribed our names as witnesses on the date above written. � �}arn0`� �`�"`°""` having an address at Ca� <<si� , �� I?ai 3 �`� �� U� having an address at CQYI15It , P�} � }(�� 3 � � a � MILITARY TESTAMENTARY INSTRUMENT SELF-PROVING AFFIDAVIT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND, ss.
