LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
,~
I, Robert M. Winter, of the Borough of Shippensburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind,
memory and understanding, do hereby declare this to be my will,
hereby revoking any and all former wills and codicils thereto by me
heretofore made.
I.
I direct that all my just debts and fur-eral expenses,
including all expenses of my last illness, shall be paid from my
estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part of the
expense of the administration of my estate.
II.
I give, devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of every
nature and wherever situate to my children, namely Therese Giles,
stephen Winter, Mathias Winter, Elizabeth Scruggs, Kathryn winter
and Thomas Winter, in equal shares, provided that the share of any
child who predeceases me or dies on or before the thirtieth day
following my death shall be distributed to said beneficiary's
issue, per stirpes, living on the thirty-first day following my
death, and in default of any such then-living issue, such share
~
~
~
shall be added to the share or shares of my other children.
III.
In the event that anyone entitled to a share of my estate
shall be under the age of eighteen years at the time for
distribution to such beneficiary, I constitute and appoint Stephen
Winter as guardian of any property which passes either under this
will or otherwise to said minor.
Said guardian shall in the
guardian's sole discretion and without order of court, use
principal as well as income from time to time as may appear to be
necessary for the minor's welfare, comfort, medical care,
recreation, support and education, without responsibility to the
minor or to any person taking care of the minor; and the remaining
balance in the hands of said guardian shall be distributed to said
minor when the minor attains the age of eighteen years. If such
minor dies prior to attaining the age of eighteen years, said
guardian is authorized in the guardian's discretion to pay part or
all of the minor's funeral expenses and the remaining balance in
the hands of said guardian shall be distributed to the minor's
personal representative.
In the event the funds held by the
guardian for any minor become in the opinion of the guardian too
small for proper and efficient administration, the guardian, in the
guardian's sole discretion, may deposit such funds in a savings
account in the name of the minor.

IV.
Any fiduciary under this will shall have the following powers
in addition to those vested in them by law and by other provisions
of my will applicable to all property whether principal or income,
including property held for minors, exercisable without Court
approval, and effective until actual distribution of all property:
A. To retain any and all of the assets of my estate, real or
personal, without regard to any princi91e of
diversification of risk.
B. To invest in all forms of property including stock,
common trust funds and mortgage investment funds without
restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania
fiduciaries as they deem proper, without regard to any
principle of diversification of risk.
C. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to
lease for any period of time any real or personal
property and to give options for sales, exchanges or
leases, for such prices and upon such terms or conditions
as they deem proper.
D. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income
or partly to each as they from time to time think proper.
E. To compromise any claim or controversy.
F. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.
G. To hold property in their names without designation of
any fiduciary capacity or in the name of a nominee or
Page 3
unregistered.
V.
I direct that all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of
,
my death of whatever nature and by whatever jurisdiction imposed,
shall be paid from my residuary estate as a part of the expense of
the administration of my estate.
VI.
I appoint my daughter, Therese Giles, as executrix of this my
will. Should my daughter predecease me, fail to qualify or cease
to act, I appoint Stephen Winter, my son, as executor of this my
will.
VII.
No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any
jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto set my hand and seal to this my
last will and testament, consisting of six typewritten pages, the
first four of which bear my signature in the margin for the purpose
