JANET M. SEIFRIED
I, JANET M. SEIFRIED, of the Borough of Cornwall, Lebanon County,
Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make,
publish and declare the following to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and
making void, any and all Wills, Codicils and testamentary dispositions by me at any time
heretofore made.
1. I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid and satisfied by my Co-
Executors hereinafter named as soon as conveniently may be after my decease. To the
extent that the assets of my residuary estate are insufficient to pay the expenses of my last
illness, funeral and administrative expenses of my estate and any estate and inheritance
taxes payable �y reason of my death, my Co-Executors may seek payment from the Co-
Trustees of the trust hereinafter referred to in this, my Last Will and Testament.
2. I give and bequeath certain of my items of personal or household use in
accordance with a list that is attached to this, my Last Will and Testament. I give and
bequeath all of my remaining items of personal or household use, including any automobiles
I own at the time of my death, to be divided among my children, WENDY SHUMAKER
and BRUCE SEIFRIED, and my granddaughter, ERICA MILLER,as they can agree, in as
nearly equal shares as possible. If any of my items should not be desired by either of my
children or by my granddaughter, I direct my Co-Executors to convert same to cash and add
same to tl:e residue of my estate.
3. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate,
whether real or personal, and wherever the same may be situate or located, to the Janet M.
Seifried Revocable Trust Under Agreement, executed on /��.�;�✓I�r,�c,v�3 , 2009, as
amended and in effect on the date of my death.
4. In addition to the powers conferred by law, I authorize my personal
representatives in their absolute discretion:
A. To retain in the form received or to sell at either public or private sale, any real or
personal property.
B. To manage real estate.
C. To invest and reinvest in all forms of property without being confined to legal
investments, and without regard to the principle of diversification.
D. To exercise any option or rights arising from ownership investments.
E. To compromise claims without court approval, and without the consent of any
beneficiary.
5. I nominate, constitute and appoint my children, WENDY SHUMAKER and
BRUCE SEIFRIED, as Co-Executors of this, my Last Will and Testament. In the event of
the renunciation, death, resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of either
one of my said children, I nominate, constitute and appoint my surviving child as sole
Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament.
6. I hereby relieve my personal representatives from the necessity of posting security
in connection with their duties as such in any jurisdiction in which they may be called upon
to act as I am able to do so by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, Janet M. Seifried, have hereunto set my hand and seal
to this, my Last Will and Testament this =�`'���� day of �V z--v-�.--�L.�i-i,.,'-z. , 2009.
