All of the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate (hereinafter referred to as "my residuary estate"), I hereby give, bequeath and devise as follows: a. Ninety-two percent (92%) to be divided equally among my wife, IRENE L. GUINN AN, my son, THOMAS LEE GUINN AN, and my daughter, ANN LENORE COVER. If my said wife predeceases me, her share of my residuary estate shall be divided equally between my said children.

(b) To distribute in cash or in kind, or partly in each, and in shares different in kind from other shares, upon any division or distribution of any property which they hold. (c) To make from time to time partial distributions in varying amounts to the beneficiaries hereunder prior to final settlement and distribution of my estate, and in connection therewith to determine in their discretion the time or times when such partial distributions may require recomputation of said beneficiaries' proportionate interests hereunder for the equitable allocation of income or on account of changing asset values pending final distribution.
