OF -: �,�,a � -�'
JACK LESTER WOODS
I, JACK LESTER WOODS, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils
at any time heretofore made by me. I am retired from the military service of the United States.
FIRST: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the expenses of
the administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect
to property included in my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or
penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my residuary estate, without apportionment and with no
right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property.
SECOND: I give all tangible personal property owned by me at the time of my
death, including without limitation personal effects, clothing, jewelry, furniture, furnishings,
household goods, automobiles and other vehicles, and all rights that I have under any related
insurance policies, to those of my daughter, GINGER LEE HOLLISTER, if she survives me.
THIRD: I give the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to JACK LESTER
WOODS, JR., if he survives me.
FOURTH: I give the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to SHERRAN
KAY BARDER, if she survives me.
FIFTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both
real and personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any
manner entitled at the time of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as
follows:
(a) To my daughter, GINGER LEE HOLLISTER, if she survives me. If my
daughter, GINGER LEE HOLLISTER shall not survive me, then I leave my
residuary estate to my grandson, ROBERT LOUIS HOLLISTER, JR.
(b) If no issue of mine survives me, I give my residuary estate to those who
would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the
absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
� ��� � �,
�
SIXTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute ownership in a minor or
incompetent, my Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the
whole or any part of such property to the beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health,
education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or distribute the whole or any part to a
guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the
beneficiary under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with
whom the beneficiary resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed
by the person to whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of my Executor from any
liability with respect thereto, even though my Executor may be such person. If such beneficiary
is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of the whole or any part of such property until
the beneficiary attains the age of eighteen (18) years, and may hold the same as a separate fund
for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article EIGHTH hereof. If the
beneficiary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate
of the beneficiary.
SEVENTH: I appoint GINGER LEE HOLLISTER to be my Executor. If my
daughter, GINGER LEE HOLLISTER, shall not survive me, or for any reason shall fail to serve
as my Executor, then I appoint my grandchildren, ROBERT LOUIS HOLLISTER and
JENNIFER LEE HOLLISTER as my co-alternate Executors. I direct that no Executor shall be
required to file or furnish any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction.
EIGHTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred on executors under the
Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as amended, or any successor thereto, and
all powers conferred upon executors wherever my Executor may act. I also grant to my
Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale, exchange, grant options on, invest and
reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for cash or on credit; to
borrow money and encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to exercise all powers of an
absolute owner of property; to compromise and release claims with or without consideration; and
to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice. The term 'Bxecutor"
wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office
from time to time.
NINTH: I direct that for purposes of this will a beneficiary shall be deemed to
predecease me unless such beneficiary survives me by more than thirty days.
TENTH: I have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. I therefore
request that my Executor make appropriate inquiries to ascertain whether there are any benefits
to which I, my dependents or my heirs may be entitled by virtue of any military affiliation. I
specifically request that my Executor consult with a retired affairs officer at the nearest military
installation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, JACK LESTER WOODS, sign my name and
publish and declare this instrument as my last will and testament this 6th day of April, 2009.
