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.
