KAUFMAN-SCHILLER, of Cumberland County, PennsylyrWF4-lieinf -, :r. sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this to be rhLast X11 ; and revoke any Wills and codicils previously made by me. a . ARTICLE ONE Specific Bequests of Cash and and Property (A) I give and devise to my husband, Lee M. Schiller, if he survives me, any interest which I may own at the time of my death in the house and lot located at 376 Merrimac Trail, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185, and known as Unit 122 of Barclay Square. If my husband does not survive me, I give and devise this real estate to my son, David, if he survives me. (B) I give the sum of$25,000 to my granddaughter, Eliana Kaufman, to be paid to my son, David Kaufman, and his wife, Mildred Lee Kaufman, as custodians under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. It is my hope and desire that David and Mildred utilize these funds to provide Eliana with exposure to the arts. This can take the form of musical instrument, voice, dance, or acting lessons, art classes, the cost of purchasing a musical instrument or dance equipment, as well as attending concerts, ballets,plays, musicals, and art museums. It is my hope and desire that Eliana be enrolled in such lessons or classes prior to her tenth birthday. I believe that it extremely important to expose children to the arts, and that by providing this gift to my granddaughter, the costs of providing this exposure outside of the public or private school system will never be a deterrent. (C) I give and bequeath all of my tangible personal property, including, but not limited to, all my automobiles, furniture, furnishings, books, pictures,jewelry, china, linen, silver, clothing, household effects and personal effects, and other tangible personal property of like nature (not including cash, securities and other property used for the production of income), together with any existing insurance thereon as I may have provided in a memorandum kept with the original of this Will, or to the extent not so provided or not effectively disposed of in any such memorandum or if the law of my state does not permit the use of a memorandum, to my sons, Edward and David, in approximately equal shares. If my sons do not agree to the division of the property among themselves,my Personal Representative shall make such division between them, and the decision of my Personal Representative shall be binding. ARTICLE TWO Residuary Estate I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and description (including lapsed legacies and devises) wherever situate and whether acquired before or after the execution of this Will as follows: 51CAMAT E MAIM uL LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW ELAINE) KAUFMAN-SCHILLER Page I of 8 (A) One-half(1/2) to the Trustee of the Edward R. Kaufman Trust Under Agreement dated August 3, 2005, to be held, administered and distributed as provided in that Trust Agreement. (B) One-half to my son, David, otherwise to my granddaughter, Eliana, if she survives me. (C) In the event that neither my son, David, nor my granddaughter, Eliana, survives me, then the share that would have passed under Paragraph (B) shall be divided and distributed as follows: (1) One-half (1/2) to Mildred Lee Kaufman, provided she was married to David at the time of his death, and (2) One-half(1/2) (or all, if Mildred Lee Kaufman was not married to David at the time of his death) to the Trustee of the Edward R. Kaufman Trust Under Agreement dated August 3, 2005, to be held, administered and distributed as provided in that Trust Agreement. ARTICLE THREE Personal Representative to Act As Trustee of Minors If any share or property hereunder becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has not attained the age of Twenty-two (22) years at the time of my death, then such share or property shall immediately vest in the beneficiary, but notwithstanding the provisions herein, my Personal Representative acting as Trustee shall retain possession of the share or property, using so much of the net income and principal of the share or property as my Personal Representative deems necessary to provide for the medical care, education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of the beneficiary, taking into consideration to the extent my Personal Representative deems advisable any other income or resources of the beneficiary or his or her parents known to my Personal Representative. Any income not so paid or applied shall be accumulated and added to principal. The beneficiary's share or property shall be paid over, distributed and conveyed to the beneficiary upon attaining the age of Twenty-two (22)years, or if he or she should sooner die,to his or her personal representative. Whenever my Personal Representative determines it is appropriate to pay any money for the benefit of a beneficiary for whom a trust is created hereunder, then the amounts shall be paid out by my Personal Representative in such of the following ways as my Personal Representative deems best: (1) directly to the beneficiary; (2) to the parent or legally appointed guardian of the beneficiary; (3) to some other relative or friend of the beneficiary for the beneficiary's care, support and education; (4) by my Personal Representative using such amounts directly for the beneficiary's care, support and education; (5) to a custodian for the beneficiary under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act. My Personal Representative, acting as Trustee, shall have with respect to each share or property so retained; all of the powers and discretions conferred upon him as Personal Representative. 9CAR A'Il SDi1'AIUM UL LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW ELAINEJ. KAUFMAN-SCHILLER Page 2 of 8 ARTICLE FOUR Payment of Taxes,Debts and Administrative Expenses I direct that all estate, inheritance and other death taxes (other than generation-skipping transfer taxes), and all interest and penalties thereon imposed by reason of my death with respect to property subject to such taxes by reason of my death, whether such property passes through my probate estate or outside of my probate estate, and payable to any federal, state or foreign taxing authority, whether payable by my estate or by any recipient of such property, and all my legally enforceable debts, funeral expenses and estate administration expenses, shall be paid to the extent possible out of my residuary estate passing under ARTICLE TWO hereinabove, prior to its division into shares for the beneficiaries. ARTICLE FIVE Protective Provisions (A) The principal of my estate and the income therefrom, so long as the same are held by my Personal Representative, shall not be subject to anticipation, assignment, pledge, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have power in any manner to charge or encumber his/her interest in my estate, nor shall the said interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of my Personal Representative for any liability of said beneficiary, whether such liability arises from said beneficiary's debts, contracts, torts, or other engagements of any type. (B) If any beneficiary in any manner, directly or indirectly, contests this Will or any of its provisions, any interest in my Estate given to the beneficiary is revoked and shall be disposed of in the same manner as if the beneficiary had predeceased me. ARTICLE SIX Powers of Personal Representative In addition to and without limiting the powers conferred by case law, by statute, and by other provisions hereof, my Personal Representative shall have the following rights and powers exercisable without the need for court approval: (A) Accept and Retain Investments. To accept and retain any form of real or personal property received by transfer, devise, bequest or otherwise without being required to diversify and without being limited to the types of investments in which fiduciaries are authorized by law to invest. This authority shall specifically include the authority to accept and retain any stock of a corporate fiduciary hereunder, or in any corporation which controls or is controlled by it, or any other corporation in which it holds any ownership interest, together with any stock dividends received thereon, or any stock acquired in the exercise of subscription rights, or received by reason of any consolidation, merger or reorganization, without liability for such retention. (B) Invest. To invest and reinvest in any form of real or personal property without limitation by any law applicable to investments by fiduciaries. 6{ARA7rJ6ZONANCH iic LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW ELAINEJ KAUFMAN-SCHILLER Page 3 of 8 (C) Voting Rights. To vote a security in person or by proxy, to participate in or consent to any merger, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, voting trust plan, or other action affecting any securities held hereunder, and; to exercise conversion, subscription, and other rights of whatever nature. (D) Title To Property. To register or hold securities and/or other property in the name of a nominee or nominees, including that of a clearing corporation, a depository, in book entry form, or to retain securities and/or other property unregistered or in a form permitting transfer by delivery. (E) Sale, Lease and Other Dealings with Properly. To sell, from time to time, at public or private sale, exchange, lease, encumber, option or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of assets held hereunder; to make, execute and deliver deeds, mortgages, leases, assignments and other documents necessary to carry out any of the powers granted hereunder, which shall specifically include the authority to grant leases which extend beyond the period authorized by law, and; to partition, subdivide, improve and impose any restrictions on real estate held hereunder and enter into agreements concerning the partition, subdivision, improvement, zoning or management of any such real estate. (F) Borrow. To borrow money from any person or institution and pledge property as security for repayment of funds. (G) Distributions in Kind. To make distributions in cash or in kind, or partly in each, and; to allot different kinds of property to different shares without regard to differences in the income tax basis of such property. Any such designation, division, allocation, apportionment or valuation of property shall be binding and conclusive on all parties. (H) Power to Distribute Outright. In any instance where property would be immediately distributable to a beneficiary of a trust, distribution may be made directly to such beneficiary without funding such trust. The receipt of any such distribution by any such beneficiary shall be a full acquittance of the fiduciary making such distribution as to any amounts so distributed. (I) Settle Claims. To institute, prosecute and defend any and all legal proceedings; and compromise, release, adjust and/or settle any debt or claim. (J) Employment of Agents. To employ agents including attorneys, accountants, and others to perform administrative duties. (K) Disclaimer. To disclaim any interest in property which would devolve to me or to my estate by whatever means, including but not limited to the following means: as a beneficiary under a will, as an appointee under the exercise of a power of appointment, as a person entitled to take by intestacy, as a doneeibeneficiary of an inter vivos transfer, as a beneficiary under any insurance policy, as a beneficiary under an individual retirement account or annuity, and as a beneficiary under any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan. ARTICLE SEVEN Fiduciaries (A) Appointment of Personal Representative. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint as Personal Representative my son, David H. Kauffman, and direct that he shall serve without bond. S9{A7iIATO6ZONkNG1 uc LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW ELAINE KAUFMAN-SCHILLER Page 4 of 8 (B) Successor Personal Representative. If David H. Kaufman should fail to qualify as Personal Representative hereunder, or for any reason should ceased to act in such capacity, the successor or substitute Personal Representatives, who shall also serve without bond, shall be Lee M. Schiller and Mildred Lee Kaufinan (provided she is married to David, or was married to him at the time of his death, if he is deceased), or the survivor of them. (C) Fee Schedule for Personal Representative. For its services as Personal Representative, the individual Personal Representative shall receive reasonable compensation and shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses, but the Personal Representative may decline to accept compensation. ARTICLE EIGHT Interpretation (A) Child, Children, Grandchild Grandchildren and Issue. Whenever the terms "child," "children," "grandchild," "grandchildren" and "issue" are used herein, such terms shall be interpreted to include adopted persons as well as natural persons, provided in each instance that the adoptee is under the age of eighteen (18) years at the time of adoption. Such terns are also intended to include persons in gestation at any pertinent time under this Will, provided such persons survive birth by thirty (30) days. (1) Issue, per stirpes. In applying any provision of this Will which refers to a person's "issue, per stirpes", the children of such person are heads of their respective stocks of issue, whether or not any child of such person is then living. For example, a disposition in this Will to a person's "issue, per stirpes" shall be deemed to require a division into a sufficient number of equal shares to make one share for each child of such person living at the time such disposition becomes effective and one share for each then deceased child of such person having one or more descendants then living, regardless of whether any child of such person is then living, with the same principle to be applied in any required further division of a share at a more remote generation. (2) Issue, per capita. In applying any provision of this Will which refers to a person's "issue, per capita", the phrase shall mean the division of an estate by giving an equal share to each of a number of such person's descendants, all of whom stand in equal degree to such person, without reference to their stocks or the right of representation. Issue, per capita is the antithesis of issue, per stirpes. For example, a disposition in this Will to a decedent's "issue, per capita", assuming that both of the decedent's two children (X and Y) predecease the decedent, two grandchildren (A and B) predecease the decedent (each with surviving issue) and three grandchildren (C, D and E) are living at the time such disposition becomes effective, shall be deemed to require a division into three equal shares for each grandchild (C, D and E) who are living at the time such disposition becomes effective. In the previous example, if instead we assume that one child (X) was living at the time such disposition becomes effective, that child (X)would take the entire disposition even if the decedent is survived by issue of the other child (Y) who predeceased the decedent. (B) Survival Clauses. If any beneficiary hereunder should die within thirty (30) days after my death or within thirty (30) days after any other person the survival of whom WO.FlA7U9UNA1OM uc LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW ELAINE J L VFL1 -SC I>LLER Page 5 of 8 determines such beneficiary's rights hereunder, then such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person, as the case may be, for all purposes hereunder. (C) Governing Law. This Will shall be construed and governed in all respects by and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (D) Gender and Number. Where appropriate except where the context otherwise requires, whenever used herein, the singular includes and plural, the plural the singular and words of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. (E) Headings/Captions. The headings/captions of Articles, Sections and Paragraphs used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall have no significance in the construction or interpretation of this Will. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal and caused this my Last Will and Testament, consisting of ( ($_) typewritten pages, including this attestation clause and the following AckAowledgment and Affidavit, to be executed, declared and published this day of fA 6LI 2012,at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. �e�Y����'�e�R�.r�jw✓ nA FLAT J.
