LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
MARY E. ALLYN
I, MARY E. ALLYN, of 495 North 25th Street, Camp Hill,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make this my Last Will
and Testament, revoking any former wills and Codicils made by me.
FIRST: I am married to Russell E. Allyn, and all references
to my husband in this will are to him. I have two children:
Susan Jean Ratcliff (born March 2, 1944); and Linda Moore Lowrie
(born May 7, 1949). These and any other children born to or
adopted by my husband and me are described in this Will as "my
children," or as "a child of mine." Any person born to or
adopted by a child of mine is described in this Will as "my
issue." Provided, however, no adopted person shall benefit
hereunder unless the order or decree of adoption is entered
before such adopted person attains the age of twenty-one (21)
years.
SECOND: I give my tangible personal property and all
casualty insurance that I am carrying on said tangible personal
property to my husband, Russell E. Allyn, or, if he does not
survive me, I give said property to such of my children who are
living at my death to be divided equitably among or between them
as they may determine, or, if they are unable to agree, as my
Executor shall determine, after considering the wishes of such
children. I have complete confidence that my husband, my
?/Q ? /-)
~1-
children or my Executor will honor any written instructions that
I may leave with regard to said tangible personal property. Any
such property not so distributed shall be sold, and the proceeds
added to my residuary estate to pass as hereafter described.
THIRD: If my husband, Russell E. Allyn, shall survive me, I
bequeath to my Trustee, hereinafter named, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS,
cash, securities or other property in the amount specified below,
to be known as the "Bypass Trust."
(1) The bequest shall be $600,000, subject however, to
Paragraphs (2) and (3) below.
(2) The bequest shall increase or decrease, based upon
the availability of my federal unified credit for estate and gift
taxes and the maximum allowable federal estate tax credit for
state death taxes (but only to the extent that the use of such
state death tax credit does not increase the death tax payable to
any state), whether due to statutory changes, lifetime gifts in
excess of the federal unified estate and gift tax exemption-
equivalent amounts, or any other transfer which affects the
availability of my federal credits aforesaid.
(3) The bequest shall decrease, even to zero, if
necessary to reduce federal estate tax payable as a result of my
death to zero (excluding, however, any federal estate tax due as
a result of an excess retirement accumulation under section 4980A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such similar
section as may then be in effect), considering that my intention
~r
"
!'.
/f~
-2-
is to fund the Bypass Trust by using my available federal unified
credit for estate and gift taxes and my federal estate tax credit
for state death taxes and to eliminate federal estate tax on the
balance of my federal taxable estate by using the federal estate
tax unlimited marital deduction.
FOURTH: I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate, real and personal, to my husband. Should
he not survive me, I give, devise and bequeath such rest, residue
and remainder to my Trustee, hereinafter named, IN TRUST NEVER-
THELESS, to be held, administered and distributed for all
purposes as part of the Bypass Trust.
FIFTH: The Bypass Trust shall be held, administered and
distributed as follows:
(1) My Trustee shall pay to or apply for the benefit
of anyone or more of my said husband, my children and my issue,
until division into shares pursuant to Paragraph (5), all of the
net income from the Bypass Trust in convenient installments in
such shares and proportions as my Trustee in its sole discretion
shall determine primarily for the medical care, education,
support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of my said husband,
children and issue, taking into consideration to the extent my
Trustee deems advisable, any other income or resources of my said
husband, children and issue known to my Trustee, considering that
my husband is the primary object of my bounty.
~z4-
-3-
(2) Prior to division into shares pursuant to Para-
graph (5), my Trustee may pay to or apply for the benefit of any
one or more of my said husband, children and issue such sums from
the principal of the Bypass Trust in such shares and proportions
as in its sole discretion shall be necessary or advisable from
time to time for the medical care, education, support and mainte-
nance in reasonable comfort of my said husband, children and
issue, taking into consideration to the extent my Trustee deems
advisable, any other income or resources of my said husband,
children and issue known to my Trustee, considering that my
husband is the primary object of my bounty. Any payment or
application of benefits for a beneficiary pursuant to this
Paragraph shall be charged against this Trust as a whole rather
than against the ultimate distributive share of such beneficiary
to whom or for whose benefit the payment is made.
(3) In addition to the income and discretionary
payments of principal from this Trust, there shall be paid to my
said husband during his lifetime from the principal of this Trust
upon his written request during the last month of each fiscal
year of the Trust an amount not to exceed during such fiscal year
the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or five percent (5%)
of the aggregate value of the principal of the Bypass Trust on
the last day of such fiscal year without reduction for the
principal payment for such fiscal year, whichever is greater.
This right of withdrawal is noncumulative, so that if my said
ft
E/I-
---~-
-4-
husband does not withdraw, during such fiscal year, the full
amount to which he is entitled under this Paragraph, his right to
withdraw the amount not withdrawn shall lapse at the end of that
fiscal year.
(4) My husband shall have a special power to appoint
all or any portion of the Bypass Trust during his lifetime by
written document, delivered to my Trustee, referring expressly to
this Article, or by will, validly executed and attested referring
expressly to this Article, among such other person or persons
hereinafter named or described absolutely or in trust, as he may
indicate. This special power of appointment is exercisable only
in favor of a child of mine as described in this will or to the
issue of any such child. My aforesaid husband shall have no
power to appoint the principal of this fund or income accumulated
thereon to himself, to his estate, to his creditors, or to the
creditors of his estate. My Trustee may rely upon an attested
will probated in any state that otherwise meets the requirements
of this Paragraph.
(5) In default of the exercise of such power of
appointment by my said husband, or insofar as any part of the
Bypass Trust shall not be effectively appointed, then upon the
death of my said husband, the entire remaining principal of the
Bypass Trust, or the part of such trust not effectively appoint-
ed, shall be divided into equal separate shares so as to provide
one (1) share for each then-living child of mine and one (1)
n ~. ~ -
-5-
share for each deceased child of mine who shall leave issue then
living. The share provided for a living child of mine shall be
distributed to such child. The share provided for a deceased
child of mine who shall leave issue then living shall be distrib-
uted per stirpes to such issue, but in default of issue, shall be
distributed as follows:
(a) Fifty percent (50%) to the husband of my
deceased child in the event that he was living with my
child at the time of her death and has not remarried;
(b) Twenty-five percent (25%) to my surviving
child;
(c) Twelve and one-half percent (12~%) to
Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
without restriction as to use; and
(d) Twelve and one-half percent (12~%) to Zion
Lutheran Church, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, without
restriction as to use.
Should any of the foregoing bequests fail, the effective bequests
shall correspondingly increase.
SIXTH: If any share hereunder becomes distributable to a
beneficiary who has not attained the age of twenty-one (21)
years, then such share shall immediately vest in such benefici-
ary, but notwithstanding the provisions herein, my Trustee shall
retain possession of such share in trust for such beneficiary
until such beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years,
jy;, ~, LJ ---
-6-
using so much of the net income and principal of such share as my
Trustee deems necessary to provide for the proper medical care,
education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of such
beneficiary, taking into consideration to the extent my Trustee
deems advisable any other income or resources of such beneficiary
or his or her parents known to my Trustee. Any income not so
paid or applied shall be accumulated and added to principal.
Such beneficiary's share shall be paid over and distributed to
such beneficiary upon attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years,
or if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her executors or
administrators. I recommend that my Trustee consider distrib-
uting all income from such share to such beneficiary when such
beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years. My Trustee
shall have with respect to each share so retained all the powers
and discretions had with respect to the trusts created herein
generally.
SEVENTH: Anything in this Will to the contrary notwith-
standing, no trust created herein shall continue beyond
twenty-one (21) years after the deaths of one, the last to die of
my issue living at the time of my death; and two, all issue,
living at the time of my death, of the individual serving as
President of the united States at my death and all issue, living
at the time of my death, of said individual's five (5) immediate
predecessors in said office; upon the expiration of such period,
all trusts shall terminate and all the assets thereof shall be
jrl, 1:. ~~
-7-
distributed to those beneficiaries (and in the same proportions)
as are then entitled to receive the income therefrom.
EIGHTH: If any beneficiary and I should die under such
circumstances as would render it doubtful whether the beneficiary
or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the
purposes of this my will that said beneficiary predeceased me.
NINTH: (1) I name as my Executor and as my Trustee (the
singular gender to include the plural) my son-in-law, J. Kenneth
Lowrie, Esquire, Alexandria, Virginia, and my accountant, Crystal
Hackett, camp Hill, pennsylvania. If either is unable or unwill-
ing to serve, I name my attorney, Heath L. Allen, Esquire, to
replace that individual. If he is unable or unwilling to serve,
his law firm shall designate an attorney to replace him. If both
my son-in-law and my accountant are unable or unwilling to serve,
Heath L. Allen and another attorney designated by his firm shall
serve. If Heath L. Allen is unable or unwilling to serve, his
firm shall designate two (2) attorneys to serve. It is my
intention that two individuals serve at all times. I direct that
my Executor and my Trustee serve without bond in any jurisdiction
in which called upon to act.
(2) If, for any reason, the two individuals identified
above and their designated successors cease to act in such
capacity, the successor or substitute Trustee shall be some bank
or trust company with trust powers, which successor or substitute
Trustee shall be designated in a written instrument filed with
In /? a~
-8-
the Court having jurisdiction over the probate of my estate and
signed by my husband, or if he fails to act, signed by or on
behalf of my daughters, or the survivor of them, or if they or
she should fail to act, by the Court having jurisdiction over the
Trust. The situs of the Trust may be transferred to the situs of
such successor or substitute Trustee by designation in the
written instrument aforesaid.
(3) For services as Executor and Trustee, my Executor
and my Trustee shall receive reasonable compensation.
(4) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2)
above, the situs of all trusts created herein shall be Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
TENTH: (l) I give to any Executor and to any Trustee
named in this will or any Codicil hereto or to any successor or
substitute Executor or Trustee all of the powers enumerated in
this Will and all of the powers applicable by law to fiduciaries
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in particular through the
Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as effective
and as in effect on the date hereof, during the administration
and until the completion of the distribution of my estate, and
until the termination of all trusts created in this Will or any
Codicil hereto and until the completion of the distribution of
the assets of such trusts. I direct that all such powers shall
be construed in the broadest possible manner and shall be exer-
cisable without court authorization.
M~~. ~~
-9-
(2) In determining the federal estate and income tax
liabilities of my estate, my Executor shall have discretion to
select the valuation date and to determine whether any or all of
the allowable administration expenses in my estate shall be used
as federal estate tax deductions or as federal income tax deduc-
tions and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax
return with my husband.
(3) If at any time any trust created hereunder (or any
share thereof if the trust shall have been divided into shares)
shall be of such value that, in the opinion of my Trustee, the
administration expense of holding the assets contained therein in
trust is not justified, my Trustee, in its absolute discretion,
may terminate such trust and distribute the trust property to the
person or persons then entitled to receive or have the benefit of
the income therefrom or the legal representative of such person.
If there is more than one income beneficiary, my Trustee shall
make such distribution to such income beneficiaries in the
proportion in which they are beneficiaries or if no proportion is
designated in equal shares to such beneficiaries.
(4) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow-
ered to acquire and to retain, either permanently or for such
period of time as my Executor or Trustee may determine, any
assets, including the capital stock of any closely held
corporation, whether such assets are or are not of the character
approved or authorized by law for investment by fiduciaries and
/r). E. A
-
-10-
whether such assets do or do not represent an overconcentration
in one investment.
(5) My Executor and my Trustee are authorized and
empowered to disclaim any interest, in whole or in part, of which
I, my Executor, or my Trustee, may be the beneficiary, devisee,
or legatee, by executing an appropriate instrument (in accordance
with section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or such similar section as may then be in effect).
(6) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow-
ered to sell at public or private sale, or exchange, and to
encumber or lease, for any period of time, any real or personal
property and to give options to buy or lease any such property.
Additionally, my Executor and Trustee are authorized and em-
powered to compromise claims, to borrow from anyone (including a
fiduciary hereunder) and to pledge property as security therefor,
to make loans to and to buy property from anyone (including a
fiduciary or beneficiary hereunder); provided that any such loans
shall be adequately secured and at a fair interest rate.
(7) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow-
ered to allocate property, charges on property, receipts and
income among and between principal or income, or partly to each,
without regard to any law defining principal and income.
ELEVENTH: No person who at any time is acting as a co-
trustee (if any) hereunder shall have any power or obligation to
participate in or to exercise any discretionary authority that I
h f?'.4 -
-11-
have given to my Trustee to pay principal or income to such
person, or for his or her benefit or in relief of his or her
legal obligations. Such discretionary authority shall be exer-
cised solely by the disinterested co-trustee.
TWELFTH: No interest of any beneficiary under this Will,
any Codicil hereto, or any trust created herein, shall be subject
to anticipation or to voluntary or involuntary alienation.
THIRTEENTH: All estate, inheritance, succession and other
death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest
and penalties thereon with respect to all property comprising my
gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property
passes under this Will, shall be paid out of the residue of my
estate, as if such taxes were expenses of administration, without
apportionment or right of reimbursement. I authorize my Executor
and Trustee to pay all such taxes at such time or times as deemed
advisable.
