CAROLYN W. JACKSON
1, CAROLYN W. JACKSON, of Lower Allen Township, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and
Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils by me heretofore made.
ITEM 1: Family Information. I am widowed. I have
two children: SANDRA L. JACKSON and SHARON J. YUNGSHTEN. These
children are described in this Will as "my children," or as "a child of mine." Any
person born to or adopted by issue of mine is to be included as issue of mine.
Provided, however, no adopted person shall benefit under this Will unless the order
or decree of adoption is entered before the adopted person attains the age of twenty-
one (21) years.
ITEM 11: Death Taxes. I direct that all inheritance
and estate taxes becoming due by reason of my death, whether payable by my
estate or by any recipient of any property, shall be paid by the Executor out of the
resid#e of my estate, as an expense and cost of administration of my estate, except
that no taxes shall be charged against any gift qualifying for the marital or
charitable deduction in my estate. The Executor shall have no duty or obligation to
obtain reimbursement for any such tax so paid, even though on proceeds of
insurance or other property not passing under this Will.

administration of my estate.
ITEM IV: Tangible Personal Property. I may leave a
written list in my safe deposit box or elsewhere disposing of certain items of my
tangible personal property. The Executor shall dispose of items of my personal
property as specified in the written list. If no written list is found in my safe
deposit box or elsewhere and properly identified by the Executor within thirty (30)
days after the probate of my Will, it shall be presumed that there is no other
statement or list. Any subsequently discovered list shall be ignored.I give any
property of the type described in this Item and not set forth in a written list to my
children, SANDRA L. JACKSON and SHARON J. YUNGSHTEN, to be divided

JOHN PYAM WILLIAMS. These distributions are to be per capita
and not per stirpes.

powers granted at law, the Executor shall possess the following powers, each of
which shall be construed broadly and may be exercised without court approval, but

(c) In order to divide the principal of my estate or make
distributions, the Executor is authorized to distribute personal
property and real property partly or wholly in kind, and to allocate
specific assets among beneficiaries so long as the total market value of
each share is not affected by the division, distribution or allocation in
kind. The Executor is authorized to make, join in and consummate
partitions of lands, voluntarily or involuntarily, including giving of
mutual deeds, or other obligations, with as wide powers as an
individual owner in fee simple.

personal property severally or in conjunction with other persons, and
to consummate sale(s) by deed(s) or other instrument(s) to the
purchaser(s), conveying a fee simple title. No purchaser shall be

as a result of my death, but shall not be liable to any person, nor
subject to removal or surcharge, for any reasonable allocation of basis
increase.
