the plan or the law permits them to do so, and to exercise any
other rights which they may have under the plan, in whatever
manner they consider advisable.
FIFTH: I direct that all inheritance, estate, transfer,
succession and death taxes, of any kind whatsoever, which may be

security or a bond for the performance of their duties in any
jurisdiction.
