LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

______________________

I, _________________, of the City of _____________, County of __________, State

of Wyoming, being an adult, of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting

under any menace, fraud, duress, or undue influence or compulsion whatsoever, do

hereby make, execute and publish this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, hereby revoking

any and all former wills, codicils, and testamentary instruments made by me.

Article 1. I hereby declare that I am unmarried. I further declare that I have the

following children: ____________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________.

Any reference in this will to my children is a reference to these people, and to any child

or children of mine born or adopted after the execution of this will.

Article 2. I hereby, nominate, constitute and appoint _______________________

as the Personal Representative of this, my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, to serve without

bond. Should _______________________ fail to qualify due to death, disability, or any

other reason whatsoever, then and in that event, I direct that _______________________

shall serve as Personal Representative of this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, and that

this person serve without bond.

Article 3. I direct that all of my just debts, funeral and testamentary expenses be

paid as soon after my decease as practicable from any funds or property of my estate

that may be available for the purpose. It is not my intention to require the payment of

any secured installment obligations by my Personal Representative except the

installments that may become due during the administration of my estate. I further

direct that any State and Federal inheritance, estate, transfer, succession, and death

taxes which are imposed by reason of my death or in relation to any property (whether

passing under this will or not), shall be paid out of my general estate as an expense of

the administration thereof.

Article 4. I intend to leave a written statement or list in which I will indicate the

distribution of certain items of my personal property. I refer my Personal

Representative to this list to dispose of items of tangible personal property not

__________ ____________________________________ __________

otherwise specifically disposed of below, other than money, evidences of indebtedness,

documents of title, securities, and property used in trade or business. This list will be

dated, will be in my handwriting or signed by me, and will include a description of the

items and recipients with reasonable certainty. This list may be prepared before or after

execution of this my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT and may be altered by me after its

preparation. I will sign and date any alteration. If for any reason no such list is in

existence at my death or fails to dispose effectively of all itemized property, then I direct

that such property be disposed of as a part of my residuary estate.

Article 5. I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue, and remainder of

my estate, of every kind and character, not otherwise disposed of above, of whatever

nature or kind, and wherever located or situate, whether presently owned by me,

hereafter acquired, or to which I may be or become entitled hereafter, and including but

not limited to that over which I have a power of disposition or appointment, to my

children in equal shares, as their sole and separate property. In the event that any of

these devisees should predecease me, the share which would have gone to that

deceased person shall be distributed to his or her children then surviving, if any, in

equal shares, per stirpes. In the event that any of these devisees should predecease me

and leave no surviving issue, then the share to which such deceased person would have

been entitled shall be distributed to the survivors in equal shares.

Article 6. In the event that any surviving child of mine shall be a minor, then

and in that event, I direct that _________________ and _____________________, husband

and wife, of _________________, _____________, shall be appointed as Guardians and

Conservators of such minor child. In the event that either of these persons shall be

unable to serve in this capacity, for any reason whatsoever, I direct that the other shall

be appointed to serve individually as Guardian and Conservator of any such minor

child. I direct that no bond or other security shall be required of these persons.

Article 7. In the event that I am not survived by any of the beneficiaries

previously mentioned herein, then and in that event, I give to ______________________

the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, of every kind and character, of whatever

nature or kind, and wherever located or situate, whether presently owned by me,

hereafter acquired, or to which I may be or become entitled hereafter, and including but

not limited to that over which I have a power of disposition or appointment, whether

real or personal, and wherever located.

Article 8. I give my Personal Representative the power and authority to sell at

public or private sale, for cash or credit, with or without security, or to mortgage, lease,

dispose of, and distribute in kind, all property, real and personal, at such time and upon

such terms and conditions my Personal Representative may deem advisable, without

Court Order. No purchaser shall be bound to see to the application of funds. I further

authorize my Personal Representative, in its sole discretion, to settle all claims that may

be pending or brought against me or my estate and to adjust and compromise any

estate or inheritance taxes levied or assessed upon any devise or bequest. I further

direct and empower my Personal Representative, in its sole discretion, to pay any or all

estate taxes from income which is attributable to my estate.

Article9. Regardless of anything to the contrary contained in any statute, any

individual (whether referred to by name, as a member of a class or as my or another's

heir or issue) who is not established by clear and convincing evidence to have survived

any event (including my death or the death of another individual) by 120 hours shall be

deemed to have predeceased that event.
