FIRST � I arder and d:rect my Executor l:ereinafter named to pay all of my just debts, �-- funeral expenses and expenses involved or c.�nnected with the administration of my estate as soon after my death as is reasonably possible. I direct my Executor to pay all \ � � inheritance, estate, succession and legacy taxes, to which my estate or the transfer of any property hereunder may be subject, and to charge such taxes as part of the expenses of the administration of my estate, being deductec� and paid from the r•esidue of my estate an.i not to be deducted in any manner from any specific bequests made herein. However, my Executor need not ac�elerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more ad��,�tageous to retain or renew and pay as they � become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot ar a orave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my Executor/Executrix, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a GRIFFIE&ASSOCIATES � ,��ttorneys At Law � �200 N.Hanover Street Page 1 of 8 100 Lineoln Way East, Suite D ( Carlisle,PA 17013 �hambersburg,PA I7201 burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose. SECOND I specifically acknowledge that at the time of execution of this my Last Will & Testament, my husband, Richard P. Ellinger, is still alive, but I have not provided for any distribution to him from my estate as it is my position that we have substantial jointly held assets that will provide him with sufficient assets to provide for his needs following my death and, therefore, any assets that I have in my name alone which will pass through my estate, shall pass pursuant to the terms of this My Last Will & Testament. � THIRD I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my children, BENJAMIN L.

I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said \ tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient.

(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 intention to give my Executor/Executrix the broadest investment � powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate.
