LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
".,
ELEANOR P. COX
l)
I, ELEANOR P. COX, presently of Floral City, Florida, being of
sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under duress,
menace, fraud, or any other undue influence, do hereby make, publish
and declare this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all
prior Wills and Codicils made by me.
ARTICLE I
I hereby direct and order that all just debts for which proper
claims are filed against my estate, and the expense of my last
illness and funeral, be paid by my Personal Representative hereinaf-
ter named, as soon as is practicable, providing, however, that this
direction shall not authorize the payment of any debt or obligation
prior to their maturity in due course, nor shall this direction
authorize the payment of any debt or obligation by the sale of
property exempt by law from the claims of creditors.
ARTICLE II
It is my wish and I hereby direct my Personal Representative,
hereinafter named, to have my remains cremated.
ARTICLE III
A. I have prepared a written, signed statement which disposes
1
of certain of my tangible personal property, pursuant to Florida
statute 732.515. I intend that the written statement, as it may
read at the time of my death, be a legally binding disposition of
the tangible personal property described in such written statement.
In the event that my Personal Representative is unable to locate
such written, signed statement within 30 days after my death, it
shall be conclusively presumed that such written statement does not
exist, irrespective of whether such written, signed statement is
later found.
B. I give and bequeath any automobiles, boats, mobile homes
or recreational vehicles that I may own at the time of my death,
with the exception of that property identified in that separate list
disposing of certain items of tangible personal property pursuant
to Paragraph A above, to my husband, LEO W. COX. In case of damage
to or destruction of such automobiles, boats, mobile homes and/or
recreational vehicles shortly before or at my death, I do not intend
that my said husband shall have merely the salvage value(s) or the
wreck(s); if the damage(s) is covered by insurance issued to me, I
give and bequeath the proceeds of such insurance to my husband, LEO
W. COX. In the event my husband predeceases me, then and in that
event I direct my Personal Representative named herein to sell any
and all automobiles, boats, mobile homes and/or recreational
vehicles that I may own at the time of my death and turn over the
proceeds of such sale and/or any insurance issued to me to my
Successor Trustee under that certain Trust Agreement dated this day.
2
ARTICLE IV
I give, devise and bequeath my homestead property that I may
own at the time of my death to my spouse, LEO W. COX, if he survives
me. If my spouse fails to survive me, I give, devise and bequeath
my homestead property equally to my children, CLYDE W. COX, MARSHALL
L. COX and SANDRA LEA SELLICK.
The residue of my estate, real, personal and mixed, wherever
situated, of which I may die seized or possessed, or to which I may
be or become in any way entitled or have any interest, I give,
devise and bequeath in Trust to the Successor Trustee under the "Leo
W. Cox and Eleanor P. Cox Trust Agreement dated June 26, 1992",
which is included herein by reference, which gift is to be added to
the property then held in Trust by the Successor Trustee and to be
held, managed and distributed in accordance with the terms of the
Trust as now existing and as from time to time hereinafter amended.
The receipt of said Successor Trustee to my Personal Representative
shall be full and sufficient discharge to my Personal Representative
and said Successor Trustee shall not be required to account in any
further way to the probate court, nor shall my Personal Repre-
sentative be required to see to the use or application of assets
delivered over to said Successor Trustee.
If the above-described Trust shall not be in existence at
the time of my death, or if for any reason a court of competent
jurisdiction shall declare the Trust to be ineffective for disposi-
tion of the assets of my estate, I give the residue of my estate to
the Successor Trustee named in the Trust Instrument, to be held,
3
managed and distributed in the manner described in the Trust
Instrument, for the period beginning with the date of my death,
giving effect to all then existing amendments of the Trust that
shall be valid, and in any event giving effect to all terms of the
Trust now in effect i and for those purposes I incorporate by
reference the Trust Instrument as it now exists into this Will.
ARTICLE V
I hereby nominate and appoint my husband, LEO W. COX, as
Personal Representative of this my Last will and Testament, to serve
without bond.
In the event that my husband, LEO W. COX, is for any reason
unwilling or unable to act as such, I then and in that event
nominate and appoint my daughter, SANDRA LEA SELLICK, as alternate
Personal Representative, to serve without bond.
In the event that SANDRA LEA SELLICK is for any reason unwill-
ing or unable to act as such, I then and in that event nominate and
appoint my son, MARSHALL L. COX, as alternate Personal Repre-
sentative, to serve without bond.
I direct that no bond be required of the Personal Repre-
sentative or any necessary Ancillary Personal Representative of my
will. The Personal Representative named in this will and any
necessary Ancillary Personal Representative and their successors and
parties serving in their stead shall have all of the statutory
powers and protection granted to trustees at the time of application
and in addition and not in limitation of any common law or statutory
authority, without application to any Court, they and their
4
successors and parties serving in their stead, shall have the powers
and responsibilities described below to be exercised in their
absolute discretion:
(a) with regard to both real and personal property, for the
purpose of obtaining funds for payment of taxes, claims, and the
costs of administration, payment of bequests and making distribu-
tion, management of the property and for every other proper purpose,
they may acquire, retain, invest, reinvest, exchange, lease, sell,
mortgage, pledge, transfer and convey in such manner and on such
terms without limit as to the time as they may deem advisable, even
for terms beyond the expected administration of my estate, and no
purchaser or lender shall be held liable to see to the propriety of
the transaction nor to the application of the proceeds.
(b) To pay expenses that are reasonable in the judgment of the
Personal Representative for the delivery of gifts.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, ELEANOR P. COX, have hereunto subscribed
my name this 26th day of June, 1992.
