MILDRED E. BEALE
I, MILDRED E. BEALE, of Hampden 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 at any time made.
ITEM I: 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 residue of my
estate, as an expense and cost of administration of 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.
ITEM II: I direct the Executor to pay the expenses
of my last illness and funeral expenses from the residue of my estate as an expense
and cost of administration of my estate.
ITEM III: If! die before my husband, D. PAUL
BEALE, I give to him all of my household furniture and furnishings, books, pictures,
jewelry, silverware, automobiles, wearing apparel and all other articles of household
or personal use or adornment and all policies of insurance thereon. If I do not die
before my husband, I make this gift to my children living at the time of my death, to
be divided among them as they shall agree. Should there be no agreement, the
Executor shall divide this property among them in as nearly equal portions as the
Page 1
(V( . E. t3
Executor, in the sole discretion of the Executor, deems appropriate, having due
regard to the personal preferences of my children.
ITEM IV: I hereby grant my son, JEFFREY L.
BEALE, the right and option to purchase my interest in that real estate located at
3721 Market Street, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, upon the following terms and
conditions:
(a) The purchase price shall be the fair market value as finally
determined in my estate for federal estate tax purposes.
(b) The option shall be exercised within six (6) months of my
death by written notice to the Executor of my estate.
(c) The Executor is hereby authorized to provide financing for
the acquisition of the property by my son on the following terms and
conditions:
(i) No down-payment shall be required;
(ii) The Executor is authorized to provide 100%
of the financing for the acquisition of the property;
(iii) The rate of interest shall be not less than the
prime rate of Commerce Bank, N .A. as of the date of
closing;
Page 2
("tEA
(iv) Principal and interest shall be payable in
equal montWy installments amortized over not more than
360 months;
(v) My son shall grant to the Executor of my
estate a first lien mortgage on the Property;
(vi) Closing on the purchase of the property shall
take place no later than four (4) months after the date of
written notice of the exercise of the option;
(vii) My estate and son shall divide equally any
and all realty transfer taxes assessed upon the conveyance
of the property; and
(viii) Real estate taxes and assessments, both
general and special, and lienable municipal services shall
be apportioned as of the date of Closing on the basis of the
fiscal year for which assessed.
ITEM V: I give the residue of my estate, not
disposed of in the preceding portions of this Will, to my husband, D. PAUL BEALE,
as Trustee, IN TRUST, to be divided into two parts, each of which shall constitute
separate trust funds to be known as "Trust A" and "Trust B".
"Trust A": "Trust A" shall consist of the largest
amount that can pass free of Federal estate tax under my Will by reason
of the applicable credit and the state death tax credit (provided that the
Page 3
(}t. f. ~.
use of this credit does not require an increase in state death taxes)
allowable to my estate but no other credit and after taking account of
dispositions under other items of this Will and property passing outside
of this Will which do not qualify for the marital or charitable deduction
and after taking account of charges to principal that are not allowed as
deductions in computing my Federal estate tax. For purposes of
establishing the amount to be placed in "Trust A", the values finally fixed
in the Federal estate tax proceeding relating to my estate shall be used. I
recognize that this amount may be zero (0), in which case no property
shall pass under "Trust A". I also recognize that this sum may be affected
by the action of the Executor in exercising certain tax elections.
"Trust B": The balance of my residuary estate not
placed in "Trust A" shall be placed in "Trust B".
ITEM VI:
The following provisions shall apply to "Trust A":
(a) The Trustee shall pay the net income arising from the
principal of this Trust in convenient, at least annual installments to my
husband, D. PAUL BEALE, during his lifetime.
(b) During the lifetime of my husband, the Trustee shall pay to
or for his benefit so much of the principal of this Trust as may be
necessary, in the discretion of the Trustee, for the proper support,
maintenance and medical care of my husband.
(c) Upon the death of my husband, the Trustee shall pay over all
of the remaining assets, to one or all, or less than all of my issue, in the
Page 4
(n.r 5.
amounts, and in the estates, in trust or otherwise, as my husband may
direct, making specific reference to this Power of Appointment, either by
written instrument filed with the Trustee during his lifetime or by his
Will.
In no event may this Power of Appointment be exercised in
favor of my husband, his estate or creditors of either.
(d) Ifthis Power of Appointment is not exercised by my
husband, in whole or in part during his lifetime, or in his Will, then upon
the death of my husband, the Trustee shall distribute the unappointed
principal as follows:
(i) FIFTEEN (15%) PERCENT, but no more than
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND ($250,000)
DOLLARS when aggregated with any similar gift by my
husband, D. PAUL BEALE, to HERSHEY TRUST
COMPANY, as Trustee for DAVID PAUL BEALE, III, to be
administered and distributed as provided in ITEM VIII of
this Will;
(ii) ONE-HALF (%) the balance to my daughter,
JENNIFER L. MOYER. If she is not living at the time of
distribution, this share shall be held in Trust for her issue, to
be administered and distributed as provided in subparagraph
(e) of this Item; and
Page 5
JV/.E.~ .
(iii) ONE-HALF (%) the balance to my son,
JEFFREY L. BEALE. If he is not living at the time of
distribution, his share shall be held for the benefit of his
issue, to be administered and distributed as provided in
subparagraph (e) of this Item.
(e) The Trustee shall further divide any share set apart for issue of a
deceased child of mine into as many per stirpital shares as there are then living
issue of my deceased child. In each Trust thus established for issue of a
deceased child of mine (the "Beneficiary"):
(i) The Trustee shall quarterly pay to or for the
benefit of the Beneficiary all of the net income and so much
of the principal of the Trust as, in the discretion of the
Trustee, may be necessary to maintain the Beneficiary in the
proper station in life, including proper support, maintenance,
medical care and college or higher education.
(ii) Upon the Beneficiary's attaining the age of
twenty-five (25) years, the Trust shall terminate, and the
Trustee shall pay to the Beneficiary the balance of the
principal.
(iii) Should the Beneficiary die before final
distribution of the assets of his or her Trust, but be survived
by then living issue, the Trustee shall quarterly pay the net
income from the Trust to or for the benefit of the issue, per
stirpes, living at the time of each quarterly distribution. As
Page 6
Yfl.f: f3.
soon as anyone of the Beneficiary's issue attains the age of
twenty-one (21) years, and in no event later than twenty (20)
years following the death of the Beneficiary, the Trustee
shall pay over all of the then assets in the Trust to the then
living issue of the Beneficiary, per stirpes. Should the
beneficiary die before final distribution and not be survived
by then living issue, the provisions of subparagraph (iv)
herein shall obtain.
(iv) If, before final distribution of the assets of any
Trust established for the issue of a deceased child, there is no
living beneficiary of that Trust, it shall terminate. The
principal of the Trust shall be distributed to the other issue
of my deceased child. A per stirpital share shall be allocated
for each issue. If any Trust created for issue of a deceased
child is then in existence, the share of the issue who is the
beneficiary shall be added to that Trust.
ITEM VII:
The following provisions shall apply to "Trust B":
(a) Trustee shall, beginning at my death, pay over the net
income in convenient, at least annual, installments to my husband, D.
PAUL BEALE, during his lifetime.
(b) The Trustee shall also pay to my husband so much of the
principal of this Trust as the Trustee deems necessary for the proper
support, maintenance and medical care of my husband.
Page 7
JVJ .E.f3 .
.
(c) Upon the death of my husband, the Trustee shall pay all
accrued income and all income accumulated but undistributed to the
estate of my deceased husband. The Trustee shall thereafter transfer the
principal of this Trust to "Trust A" to be held, administered and
distributed in accordance with the provisions of ITEM VI of this Will.
(d) If my husband should not survive me, the provisions of
"Trust B" shall be void. The part of my estate which would have
constituted "Trust B" shall be added to "Trust A" to be disposed of in
accordance with ITEM VI of this Will.
(e) The Executor is authorized in the Executor's exclusive and
unrestricted discretion to determine whether to elect (under Section
2056(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, or any
corresponding provision of the Federal estate law), to qualify all, none or
a fraction of "Trust B" for the Federal estate tax marital deduction. The
Executor's decision with respect to this election shall be binding upon all
persons. Only property which is fully eligible for the marital deduction
under Federal estate tax law shall be assigned to this Trust.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Will, the
Trustee shall not retain or invest in any property which is or becomes
unproductive. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (b) of
this Item, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Executor of my
husband's estate, out of the principal of this Trust upon the death of my
husband, an amount equal to the estate, inheritance, transfer, succession
and other death taxes ("death taxes"), Federal, state and other, payable
by reason of the inclusion of the value of Trust property in my husband's
estate. This payment shall equal the amount by which (1) the total of the
Page 8
fl1.i: [3
death taxes paid by my husband's estate exceeds (2) the total of the death
taxes which would have been payable if the value of the Trust property
had not been included in husband estate. My husband's Executor shall
determine the amount payable, and the determination shall be final. The
determination of the amount due shall be based upon values as finally
determined for Federal estate tax purposes in my husband's estate. Mter
payment of the amount determined to be due hereunder, the Trustee
shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to payment.
My husband may waive his estate's right to payment under this
subparagraph by Will, executed after my death, in which he specifically
refers to this right.
ITEM VIII: The following provisions shall apply for the
Trust established for my son, DAVID PAUL BEALE, III:
(a) The Trustee of this Trust shall be HERSHEY TRUST
COMPANY. However, my daughter, JENNIFER L. MOYER, and my son
JEFFREY L. BEALE, may jointly, during the lifetime of both of them,
and individually during the life of the survivor, remove HERSHEY
TRUST COMPANY as Trustee, provided that they appoint another
financial institution to serve as successor Trustee. This power of removal
and appointment shall continue as to each institutional Trustee so
appointed.
(b) The Trustee shall distribute to my son, DAVID PAUL
BEALE, III, in convenient, at least annual installments, all of the net
income.
Page 9
tn. f:. {3.
.
(c) The Trustee shall also distribute to my son, DAVID PAUL
BEALE, III, so much of the principal as, in the discretion of the Trustee,
may be necessary to maintain my son, DAVID PAUL BEALE, III, in the
proper station in life, including proper support, maintenance, and
medical care. However, under no circumstances may total distributions
from this Trust exceed TWENTY THOUSAND ($20,000) DOLLARS in
any calendar year, said TWENTY THOUSAND ($20,000) DOLLARS
limit to apply to the aggregate of this Trust and of any similar Trust
established by my husband, D. PAUL BEALE, in his Will. The maximum
distribution amount of TWENTY THOUSAND ($20,000) DOLLARS per
year shall be adjusted for inflation annually beginning with the
Consumer Price Index in effect in the year of the death of the survivor of
my husband and me.
(d) Should my son die prior to final distribution of the assets of
this Trust, but be survived by then living issue, the Trustee shall
continue to administer and distribute the assets of this Trust for the
benefit of the then living issue of my son, in accordance with the
provisions of subparagraph (e) of ITEM VI.
ITEM IX: My husband, D. PAUL BEALE, shall have the
noncumulative right to withdraw FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000) DOLLARS from the
principal of "Trust B" under this Will each calendar year during which he is then
entitled to receive income. If my husband is living on the last day of the year, he
shall also have the right to withdraw principal from "Trust B", not to exceed an
amount equal to five (5%) percent of the net market value of the principal of "Trust
Bn, less the amount, if any, previously withdrawn from that Trust during the calendar
year. The Trustee shall make this payment within thirty (30) days of the close of the
Page 10
.m.Ii.g.
calendar year. This right of withdrawal is noncumulative and may be exercised only
in writing delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days prior to the last day of each
calendar year. This right of withdrawal shall be limited and construed as necessary
to create a power described in Section 2041(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, or any comparable provision of future federal tax laws.
ITEM X: No part of the income or principal of any Trust
created by this Will shall be subject to attachment, levY or seizure by any creditor,
spouse, assignee or trustee or receiver in bankruptcy of any beneficiary prior to his or
her actual receipt of income or principal distributed. The Trustee shall pay the net
income and the principal to the beneficiaries specified by me, as their interests may
appear, without regard to any attempted anticipation, pledging or assignment, and
without regard to any claim or attempted levY, attachment, seizure or other process
against the beneficiary.
ITEM XI: The Executor and the Trustee shall each possess
the following powers, each of which may be exercised without court approval and in a
fiduciary capacity only:
(a) To retain any investments I have at my death, including
specifically those consisting of stock of any bank even in have named
that bank as the Executor or Trustee.
(b) To vary investments, and to invest in bonds, stocks, notes,
real estate mortgages or other securities or in other property, real or
personal, without being restricted to so-called "legal investments", and
without being limited by any statute or rule oflaw regarding investments
by fiduciaries.
Page 11
P1 f.6.
(c) In order to divide the principal of a Trust or for any other
purpose, including final distributions, the Executor and Trustee are
authorized to divide and distribute personal property and real property,
partly or wholly in kind, and to allocate specific assets among
beneficiaries and Trusts so long as the total market value of each share is
not affected by the division, distribution or allocation in kind. The
Executor and Trustee are each 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.
(d) To sell either at public or private sale real and 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
obligated to see to the application of the purchase money or to make
inquiry into the validity of any sale(s). The Executor and Trustee are
authorized to execute, acknowledge and deliver deeds, assignments,
options or other writings as necessary or convenient to any of the power
conferred upon the Executor and Trustee.
(e) To mortgage real estate, and to make leases of real estate.
CD To borrow money from any person, including the Executor or
Trustee, to pay indebtedness of mine or of my estate, expenses of
administration or inheritance, legacy, estate and other taxes, and to
assign and pledge assets of my estate or any Trust established by this
Page 12
fJ1.E./3 .
Will. This paragraph shall not be construed to authorize borrowing from
"Trust B".
(g) To pay all costs, taxes, expenses and charges in connection
with the administration of my estate or any Trust established under this
Will. If any death taxes are payable with respect to my estate, these
taxes shall be paid from "Trust A".
(h) To make distributions of income and of principal to the
proper beneficiaries, during the administration of my estate, with or
