LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
JOANN GRANT
I, JOANN GRANT, of cumberland County, pennsylvania,
being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking
all wills and Codicils by me at any time previously made.
ITEM I: All inheritance, estate and similar
taxes becoming due by reason of my death ("Death Taxes"), whether
such Death Taxes shall be payable by my estate or by any recipient
of any property, shall be paid by my Executor out of the property
passing under ITEM V of this Will as an expense and cost of
administration of my estate. My Executor shall have no duty or
obligation to obtain reimbursement for any Death Taxes paid by my
Executor, even though paid with respect to proceeds of insurance
or other property not passing under this will.
ITEM II: I hereby exercise all powers of
appointment which I may have at the time of my death in favor of
my Executor, and all property subject to all such powers of
appointment shall be included in my estate and be governed by the
provisions of this Will; provided, however, that I specifically
Page 1 of 6 pages
"
decline to exercise any power of appointment given to me in any
Will, Codicil, Agreement of Trust or other instrument executed by
my husband, Bryan Grant ("My Husband").
ITEM III: I give and bequeath all of my
household furniture and furnishings, automobiles, books, pictures,
jewelry, china, crystal, appliances, silverware, wearing apparel
and all other like articles of household or personal use or
adornment to My Husband, if he survives me. If My Husband does
not survive me, I give such articles to my children in as nearly
equal shares as they shall select under the supervision of my
Executor. If any such articles cannot be fairly divided or
distributed in kind in the opinion of my Executor, such articles
shall be sold and the proceeds thereof shall pass as a part of my
residuary estate.
ITEM IV: I give and bequeath the sum of ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00) to each of my grandchildren living at
my death.
ITEM V: I give, devise and bequeath all the
rest and residue of my property, real, personal and mixed, not

ITEM VI: No interest in income or principal
of my estate shall be subject to attachment, levy or seizure by
any creditor, spouse, assignee or trustee or receiver in
bankruptcy of any beneficiary of my estate prior to the
beneficiary's actual receipt thereof. My Executor or Trustee
shall pay over the net income and the principal to the
beneficiaries herein designated, as their interests may appear,
without regard to any attempted anticipation (except as may be
specifically provided herein), pledging or assignment by any
beneficiary of my estate and without regard to any claim thereto
or attempted levy, attachment, seizure or other process against
said beneficiary.
ITEM VII: Any person, who shall have died at
the same time as I or under such circumstances that it is
difficult or impossible to determine who shall have died first,
shall be deemed to have predeceased me. Any person other than me
who shall have died at the same time as any then beneficiary of
income of my estate or under such circumstances that it is
difficult or impossible to determine who shall have died first,
shall be deemed to have predeceased such beneficiary.
ITEM VIII: In the settlement of my estate, my
Executor shall possess, among others, the following powers to be
exercised for the best interests of the beneficiaries:

deem wise, without being restricted to so-called "legal
investments."
(c) In order to effect a division of the principal
of my estate or for any other purpose, including any
final distribution of my estate, my Executor is
authorized to make said divisions or distributions of
the personalty and realty partly or wholly in kind. If
such division or distribution is made in kind, said
assets shall be divided or distributed at their
respective values on the date or dates of their division
or distribution. In making any division or distribution
in kind, my Executor shall divide or distribute said
assets in a manner which will fairly allocate any
unrealized appreciation among the beneficiaries.
