LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
I, John J. Garey, currently of 1861 Brentwood Drive,
Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, do make, publish, and
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all
wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
Item I:
I direct that all my just debts, including expenses
for a memorial service be paid from my residuary estate, as soon as
practicable after my decease, as a part of the expense of the
administration of my estate.
As a Korean War veteran, I further
request that I be interred at Fort Indiantown Gap National
Cemetery, if such is possible at the time of my demise.
Item II:
I direct that all cash in my savings and checking
accounts, and my Individual Retirement Account, if any, be used to
open an estate account and to be available to my executor for the
administrative expenses of my estate; any amount of this remaining
after the estate is administered is to be a part of the residuary
of my estate.
Item III:
I direct that all stocks, bonds, mutual funds and
other like investment interests that I may have at the time of my
decease be placed in trust for the benefit of my grandchildren,
Daniel J. Keane, Jr. and Alexandra A. Goldbeck, under the following
terms and conditions:
A. My son, PotUI N. Garey, is to be Trustee of this Trust.
....)
B. Upon-my' grandson, Daniel, reaching his twenty-fifth
~: . l i ,,~ G j
:~i~th~Y!'tn~ Trustee is to pay to him one half of the
..,,--' ...!~.
total accrued funds of this trust; thereafter, this Trust
is to cease, and all funds accrued hereunder are to be
paid over to the remaining beneficiary, Alexandra, upon
her reaching her 25th Birthday.
C. All funds hereunder are to be invested by the Trustee
within his absolute discretion, for the benefit of my
grandchildren. The Trustee shall have the power to make
distribution of any or all funds for the maintenance,
education, health, and support of the beneficiary.
D. All profits, if any, from the principal of this trust
shall be reinvested wi thin the trust, in the manner
chosen by the Trustee.
E. Neither the Principal nor the profits of this Trust, nor
any other interest created hereby, shall be assigned or
anticipated by the beneficiary, nor subject to attachment
or execution in the hands of the Executor or Trustee.
F. Should either beneficiary predecease me, then all of the
value of this trust is to be distributed to the remaining
beneficiary on that child reaching his/her twenty-fifth
birthday.
G. Should both beneficiaries predecease me, then this Trust
is to be liquidated and added to the residuary of my
estate.
Item IV: To my son, Paul, of Chicago, IL, I leave my entire
stamp collection, which includes first-day covers, plate blocks,
albums and loose stamps, provided he survive me; should he not,
then this property should be included in the residuary of my
estate.
Item V: I have a coin collection of unknown value; I direct
that it be divided into four shares as agreed upon by my daughter,
Valerie, and my son, Kenneth (or, in the absence of such agreement
it is to be liquidated and divided into four equal shares) and
distributed as follows: two shares are to be given to Kenneth, and
one each to my Granddaughter Alexandra and my Grandson Daniel. The
grandchildrens' shares are to be held by my Executor until each
reaches his/her 30th Birthday, if it is in kind; however, if the
collection is liquidated in whole or in part, the proceeds which
represent any grandchild's share are to be placed in the Trust
created in Item III hereof.
Item VI: I leave all of my firearms, with the exception of my
Colt .38-20 1905 U. S. issue pistol, as well as my gun cabinets, to
my son, Kenneth; the aforementioned Colt pistol is to be given to
my son, Paul.
Item VII: The following items of personal property I leave to
my children as follows: to my daughter, Valerie, the dark mahogany
chest lined with cedar; to my son, Kenneth, my dark maple chest of
drawers, two gun cabinets, and my armoire; and to my son, Paul, my
2 matching pine hutches and my dark mahogany chest of drawers.
Item VIII: My tall cut glass vase and small glass box, I
leave to my sister, Mildred Ann Kulchock, of Uniontown, PA.
Item IX: I leave my Jim Beam Decanter and Bottle Collection
to the following: all that are automobiles I leave to my wife,
Geraldine; all trains, in equal parts, to my grandson, Daniel, and
my granddaughter, Alexandra (after they are emptied of their
contents which is to be delivered to my Attorney, Allen C. Welch);
and all others to my son, Kenneth.
Item X: All of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate,
of every nature and wherever situate, I leave to my wife,
Geraldine, provided that she survive me by ninety (90) days. In
the event that she fails to survive me by ninety (90) days, then
all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate I leave to my
children in equal shares, per stirpes, with the condition that any
share which might accrue to any grandchild be paid into the trust
created in Item III hereof, and under the terms and conditions
thereof.
Item XI: I also make this statement as a directive to be
followed if I become unable to participate in decisions regarding
my medical care: if I should be in an incurable or irreversible
mental or physical condition with no reasonable expectation of
recovering, then I direct my attending physician to withhold or
widhdraw treatment that merely prolongs my dying. I further direct
that treatment be limited to measures to keep me comfortable and to
relieve pain.
These directions express my legal right to refuse treatment.
Therefore, I expect my family, doctors, and everyone concerned with
my care to regard themselves as legally and morally bound to act in
accord with my wishes, and in so doing to be free of any legal
liability for having followed my directions. I especially do no
want mechanical respiration, or artificial feeding or fluids by
tube.
Item XII:
I appoint my son, Paul, Executor of this, my Last
Will and Testament. Should he fail to qualify or cease to act, I
appoint my daughter, Valerie, as Executrix. I further direct that
they shall not be required to post bond in any jurisdiction in
which they may act.
