I, MARY B. LEGATH, widow, of the Borough of Aspinwall, do
make this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any and all
Wills and Codicils at any time previously made by me.
FIRST: I direct that the expense of my last illness and
funeral be paid out of my estate as soon as may be c��ongeniep'_A M {`
after my death. f =0 U' '�U`
i .M,
SECOND: I give my automobile, together with an i`isuMln e -�'l �?
thereon, to my son, REGIS F. LEGATH, if he survives --me; or he
C-0 U) o:
-, y
ssurvfails to survive me, I give said property to such of his issue as -
survive
ive me, per stirpes.
THIRD: I give my jewelry and clothing to my daughter,
ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA, if she survives me; or if she fails to
survive me, I give said property to such of her issue as survive
me, per stirpes.
FOURTH: I give the rest of my personal property, furniture
and furnishings, together with any insurance policies thereon, to
my children, REGIS F. LEGATH and ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA, to be
divided and distributed between them as they shall agree and in
-l-
as nearly equal shares as they deem practicable. Should my son
and/or my daughter fail to survive me, I give his or her share of
said property to such of his or her issue as survive me, per
stirpes; and in default of such issue, his or her share of said
property shall be added to the share for the other named child or
his or her issue.
FIFTH: I give the house and lot, presently known and
numbered as 306 Fourth Street, in the Borough of Aspinwall,
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, together with any insurance
thereon, jointly to my daughter, ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA and my
son, REGIS F. LEGATH. If either of said ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or
REGIS F. LEGATH shall want sole title to said residence and real
estate, and the other concurs, said child shall take title an
ownership of the residence and real estate upon payment of fifty
percent ( 50%) of the fair market value of said residence and real
estate to the other. Otherwise, said residence shall be sold for
at least the fair market value and the proceeds split equally
between ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA and REGIS F. LEGATH. If either
ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or REGIS F. LEGATH shall survive me while
the other does not, the one-half share which would otherwise have
been that of the deceased ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or REGIS F.
LEGATH shall be split per stirpes among the surviving children of
said ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or REGIS F. LEGATH, whichever is
deceased. If neither ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or REGIS F. LEGATH
-3-
survive me, the one-half share of the house and lot which would
otherwise have been that of ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA or REGIS F.
LEGATH shall be split per stirpes among the children of each;
i.e. , the children of REGIS F. LEGATH shall split equally his
one-half share while the children of ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA shall
split equally her one-half share.
SIXTH: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate I
give in two equal shares, one of said shares to each of my
children, REGIS F. LEGATH and ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA. Should my
son and/or my daughter fail to survive me, I give his or her
share of my estate to such of his or her issue as survive me, per
stirpes; and in default of such issue, his or her share of my
estate shall be added to the share for the other named child or
his or her issue.
SEVENTH: I direct that all estate, inheritance and other
taxes in the nature thereof, together with any interest and
penalties thereon, becoming payable because of my death with
respect to the property constituting my gross estate for death
tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this
Will, shall be paid from the principal of my residuary estate;
and no person receiving or having a beneficial interest in any
such property, whether under this Will or otherwise, shall at any
time be required to contribute to or refund any part thereof;
-4-
PROVIDED, however, that this direction shall not apply to the
taxes on any property included in my estate solely because of a
power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not
exercised or to any generation-skipping transfer taxes.
EIGHTH: I direct my Executors to claim any expenses of
administration of my estate as income tax deductions upon an
income tax return or returns whenever in the Executors' sole
judgement such action will achieve an overall reduction in the
total income and death taxes. No compensating adjustments
between income and principal shall be made as a result of such
action.
NINTH: No bond or other security shall be required of any
fiduciary or successor fiduciary hereunder in any jurisdictio .
TENTH: I appoint my son, REGIS F. LEGATH, and my
daughter, ELAINE LEGATH McKENNA, Co-Executors of this my last
Will. In case of the inability or unwillingness of either Co-
Executor to act or to continue as a Co-Executor, I appoint the
other Co-Executor as Sole Executor or Sole Executrix of this Will
as the case may be. As used in this Will, the term Executors
shall refer to the Co-Executors, Executor or Executrix serving at
the time.
i
-5-
ELEVENTH: I appoint REGIS F. LEGATH and ELAINE LEGATH
McKENNA Co-Guardians of the estate of any minor receiving any
sums of money, real property or other intangible personal
property free of trust by reason of my death, if such property is
in excess of the amount which may be paid to the natural
Guardian; and I authorize said Guardians, in their sole
discretion and without order of court, to retain such property in
kind or to sell the same, without being limited to "legal"
investments and to use both income and principal for the minor' s
welfare, comfortable support and education, including college
expenses. In case of the inability or unwillingness of either
Guardian to act or continue as a Guardian, I appoint the other as
sole Guardian.
