CUPP, of Camp Hill, Cumberland County, "".. pennsylvania, declare this to be my will and revoke any wills or codicils previously made by me. MY FAMILY I. Spouse and Children. I am married to Allen L. Cupp, and all references in this will to "my husband" are references to her. I have one daughter: Bonnie L. Wood, born July 28, 1946. I have no other children either natural or adopted, nor have I had any children who are deceased leaving issue surviving them. All references in this will to "my daughter" or "my child" shall be to Bonnie L. Wood. I have two granddaughters, Leah F. Pilconis, Born April 2, 1973, and Leslie E. Wood, born August 13, 1979. References to "my granddaughters" shall include both of them. GIFTS II. Tangible Personal Property and Household Effects. I give all my tangible personal property and household effects, including automobiles, together with all insurance thereon, to my husband, if he survives me. If he does not survive me, I give all such property and insurance to my daughter. If neither my husband nor my daughter survive me, I give all such property to those of my granddaughters who survive me, to be divided between them as they may agree or, in the absence of agreement, as my executor may conclusively determine; provided, however, that my executor may sell any item which he considers unsuitable for my children, and may add the proceeds thereof to my residuary estate. Without further responsibility, my executor may distribute property passing to a minor under this Article to the minor or to any person or entity to hold for the minor. 1 III. Residuary Estate. I give the residue of my estate, real and personal: A. to my husband, if he survives me; or, if he does not so survive me, B. she does not to my daughter, if she survives me; or if survive me, c. in equal shares to such of my granddaughters as survive me; provided that if a granddaughter does not survive me but leaves issue who survive me, such issue shall receive, per stirpes, the share that granddaughter would have received had she survived. In the event my husband, my daughter, my granddaughters, and their issue do not survive me, I give my entire estate, both real and personal, to my son-in-law, Thomas E. Wood. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS IV. Protective Provision. During the time any income or principal that is distributable to any beneficiary under my will is held by my executor or trustee, no interest in or right to that income or principal may be sold or pledged or disposed of in any way by the beneficiary except to the extent I have specifically provided otherwise in my will. Until distributed to and received by the beneficiary, the income and principal shall not be: A. applied in payment of any debt or liability of the beneficiary; B. subject to any interference or control of any creditor of the beneficiary or any public authority; or C. subject to attachment or seizure by any legal or equitable procedure. 2 V. Death Taxes. All federal, state, and other death taxes payable because of my death on the property forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not it passes under this will, shall be paid out of the principal of my probate estate so that the burden thereof falls on my residuary estate, and so that none of those taxes shall be charged against any beneficiary or any outside fund. VI. Management Provisions. My executor (and her respective successors and survivors) shall have all powers given to them by law, including those specified in the pennsylvania Probate, Estates, and Fiduciaries Code, or any successor statute. Unless otherwise required by law, my executor and trustee may exercise these powers as often as they consider advisable without having to seek or to obtain court approval. These powers shall extend to all property at any time held by my executor and shall continue in full force until the actual distribution of all such property. FIDUCIARIES VII. Executor. I appoint my daughter, Bonnie L. Wood, executor of this will. If, for any reason, my daughter fails or is unable to qualify, or refuses or ceases to act, I appoint my son-in-law, Thomas E. Wood, as executor. I further direct as follows: A. Any individual executor may resign at any time without court approval. B. No executor shall be required to give bond or other security in any jurisdiction. C. No person shall be a beneficiary hereunder unless he or she shall survive me by at least 30 days; provided, however, if my husband and I shall die under circumstances where the order of our deaths cannot be established with certainty, it shall be conclusively presumed for the purposes of my will that I survived my husband. 3 -f.-- IN WITNEihs WH~!fOF, I I( day of fA have executed this will on the , 2004. ~ 7/ fJ"f:i1} VERA H.
