STANDBY GUARDIANSHIP AGREEMENT
I, Thomas Webster Martin, of 113 West Shady Lane, Apartment L, Enola, Cumberland
County, P A 17025, (717) 732-5497, do hereby appoint my brother-in-law, Ronald James
Crone, II, and my sister-in-law, Heather Renee Crone, of 40 Asbury Court, Mount W olf, York
County, P A, 17347, (717) 268-0564, as the standby guardians of Courtney Nichole Martin and
Kdscy Nichole Martin, to take effect upon the occurrence of the following triggering event or
events:
My death
A determination of my incapacity
A determination of my debilitation
I hereby revoke all former wills and codicils to the extent that there is a conflict between
those formerly executed documents and this, my duly executed standby guardian designation.
I am the sole-surviving parent of Courtney Lynn Martin, date of birth September 9,
1991, and Kelsey Nicole Martin, date of birth September 22, 1994. The children's mother, my
wife, Shelly Martin, died on September 5, 2005.
By this designation, I am granting Ronald James Crone, II, and Heather Renee Crone,
the authority to act for sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the triggering event as co-
guardians with me, or in the event of my death, as guardians of my minor children.
If I have indicated more than one triggering event, it is my intent that the triggering event
which occurs first shall take precedence. If I have indicated "my death" as the triggering event,
it is my intent that the persons named in the designation to be standby guardians for my minor
children in the event of my death shall be appointed as guardians of my minor children when I
die.
It is my intention to retain full parental rights to the extent consistent with my condition
and to retain the authority to revoke the standby guardianship if I so choose.
This designation is made after careful reflection, while I am of sound mind.
