convenient.

all inheritance, estate, succession and legacy taxes of
whatsoever nature and kind, to which my estate or the

such taxes against my residuary estate, it being my intention
that none of the aforesaid taxes, either federal or state, on
any property required to be included in my gross estate,

or hereafter enacted, shall be prorated among the persons
interested in my estate to whom such property is or may be

this instrument.

by or against my estate or trust estate.
