MILITARY TESTAMENTARY PREAMBLE: This is a MILITARY TESTAMENTARY
INSTRUMENT prepared pursuant to Title 10 United States Code, Section 1044d, and executed
by a person authorized to receive legal assistance from the military services. Federal law
exempts this document from any requirement of form, formality, or recording that is prescribed
for testamentary instruments under the laws of a state, the District of Columbia, or a territory,
commonwealth or possession of the United States. Federal law specifies that this document
shall be given the same legal effect as a testamentary instrument prepared and executed in
accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is presented for probate. It shall remain
valid unless and until the Testatrix revokes it.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
DORIS HELGA GATTERER
I, Doris Helga Gatterer, 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.
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 children (Daniel T. Little, Sarah A. Little and Andrew M.
Little) who survive me, in substantially equal shares, to be divided among them as they shall
agree, or if they cannot agree, as my Executor shall determine.
THIRD: 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 those of my children who survive me and to the issue who survive me of
those of my children who shall not survive me, per stirpes.
(b) If no issue of mine survives me, my residuary estate shall be paid and
distributed to those of Heinrich Gatterer and Anna Gatterer who survive me, in
equal shares.
(c) 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.
FOURTH: 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 SIXTH hereof. If the beneficiary
dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the
beneficiary.
FIFTH: I appoint my son, Daniel Thomas Little to be my Executor. If my son,
Daniel Thomas Little shall fail to qualify for any reason as my Executor, or having qualified
shall die, resign or cease to act for any reason as my Executor, I appoint my daughter, Sarah A.
Little as my Executor. I direct that no Executor shall be required to file or furnish any bond,
surety or other security in any jurisdiction.
SIXTH: 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 "Executor"
wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office
from time to time.
SEVENTH: 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.
