1La~t Will anb me~tamtnt
I, BETTY 1. SHANK, of the City of New Cumberland, State of Pennsylvania, do hereby
make my Last Will and Testament, and revoke all Wills by me at any time heretofore made.
1. I !,rive, devise and bequeath all my estate, real and personal to my daughter, Karen
L. Rolko, conditioned, however, that in the event of her death in my lifetime, or in the event of
her death within sixty (60) days after my death, the said devise and bequest shall lapse or be
divested, and in either event, I give, devise and bequeath my estate to my grandchildren, Michele
Lynn Rolko and Kristin Marie Rolko, then li\,ing. I declare it to be my intention that should my
daughter be living at the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date of my death, the estate
hereby devised and bequeathed to her shall vest in her absolutely and in fee simple, free of all
conditions.
2. A. I authorize and empower my executrix, for the payment of debts or for any
purpose of administration or distribution, at any time within two years from the date of my
death, to sell all or any of my real estate, at public or private sale, for such prices and upon such
terms as to cash and credit as she may deem best, and to execute deeds of conveyance thereot~
'without liability on the part of the purchasers to see to the application of the purchase moneys.
This power shall not be construed to work a conversion of my real estate, unless and until the
power is actually exercised, nor shall this power be construed to extend the lien of debts.
B. I authorize my executrix to retain all stocks, bonds and other investments made by
me for distribution in kind, or in her discretion to sell and transfer the same, either in person or
by attorney, without liability on the part of the purchasers to see to the application of the
purchase moneys.
3. I direct that all legacies and all shares and interests in my estate, whether
principal or income, while in the hands of my executrix or trustee, shall not be subject to
attachment, execution or sequestration, for any debt, contract, obligation or liability of any
legatee or beneficiary, and shall not be subject to pledge, assignment, conveyance or
anticipation, and the personal receipt by such legatee or beneficiary shall be the sufficient and
only discharge of my executrix or trustee.
4. I direct that all estate, inheritance, succession, and transfer taxes, whether state or
federal, which may be levied or assessed by virtue of my death, shall be paid out ofthe principal
of my general estate to the same effect as if said taxes were expenses of administration. ]n the
absolute discretion of my executrix, she may pay such taxes immediately, or she may postpone
the payment of taxes on future or remainder interests until the time possession thereof accrues to
the beneficiary.
1".;)
5. I nominate, constitute and appoint my daughter, Karen L. Rolko, to ~@Id act ~
my sole Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event ofrenunciatio~~~~, ~
resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of my daughter, I nominat~::~tut~
and appoint my !,Jfanddaughters, Michele Lynn Rolko and Kristin Marie Rolko, as>~ en ~ -
co-Executrixes of this my Last Will and Testament. No personal representative or:fuhj~ry ~
appointed herein shall be required to post bond or give any security.'~~ ~
