CUMBTr! OF
GRACE V. KAISER
I, GRACE V. KAISER,currently of 6 Buttonwood Ct., Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and 2900 North Leisure World Blvd.,Apt. 207, Silver Spring,Maryland,being of
sound and disposing mind,memory and understanding,do make,publish and declare this to be my
Last Will and Testament,hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils
heretofore made by me.
FIRST
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my last illness,
just debts, funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my
\ estate as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need
not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his,her or its opinion, it might be
proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do
not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death,I authorize my personal
representative, in his,her or its sole discretion,to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave
marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
SECOND
I give,devise and bequeath my entire estate,together with all insurance proceeds thereon of
whatever nature and whatsoever situate to my daughter,VIRGINIA IRENE WALKER.
Page 1 of 7
THIRD
I give, devise and bequeath the rest,residue and remainder of my estate,together with all
insurance proceeds thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate to my daughter,
VIRGINIA IRENE WALKER,providing that she survives me by thirty(30)days,per stirpes.
FOURTH
I grant my personal representative the following powers in addition to and not in limitation
of such powers as my personal representative shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting
hereunder,provided such property remains productive.

under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of
investors, including but not limited to,the voting of shares.
(c) To manage, operate,repair, improve,mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate
held or owned by my estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks,bonds,notes or other securities or
property,real or personal,without regard to the principle of diversification or any
other statute or general rule of law in his,her or its absolute discretion, it being my
Page 2 of 7
intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers
possible,providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt
settlement of my estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property,real or personal,tangible or intangible,
at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and
conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his,her or its absolute
discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the
administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security.
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including,but not limited to, any
controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass
under this my Last Will and Testament.
(i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate.
(j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my personal
representative for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the
settlement of my estate.
(k) In general,to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any
individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own
right, upon such terms and conditions as to him,her or it may seem best and to
Page 3 of 7
execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he, she or it deems
necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this,my Last Will and Testament.
FIFTH
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate,either in income or in principal, shall be subject
to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner,nor shall any beneficiary have
the power in any manner to charge or encumber his interest either in income or principal, nor shall
the interest of any beneficiary,while in the possession of my personal representative,be subject to
liability for such beneficiary.
SIXTH
II nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter,VIRGINIA IRENE WALKER, as
personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event my daughter,VIRGINIA
IRENE WALKER, is deceased,unable or unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason
whatsoever,then I nominate, constitute and appoint my son-in-law,ROBERT TERRY
WALKER, as personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my
personal representative shall not be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of his,
her or its duties in this or any other jurisdiction.

law firm of Stephanie E. Chertok, Esquire, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, for legal advice
