I further direct that my Personal Representative, in his or her sole discretion, pay from my domiciliary estate all or any portion of the costs of ancillary administration or similar proceedings in other jurisdictions. B. In the event the assets of my residuary estate are insufficient to pay such claims or debts, such Federal and other estate, inheritance, generation-skipping transfer, and other death taxes, and such other costs of administration, or in the judgment of my Personal Representative the property available for payment of said claims, debts, costs and taxes should not be sold in order to make such payments, I direct my Personal Representative to call upon th~~ustee of the MO 0 FAMILY REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST, dated the day of , 1991, to make payment of those items or to provide fun s to my Personal Representative for this purpose. 1 -b I? )n '--" ',-~ f 1'1;p1 ARTICLE III: DISPOSITION OF TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY A.
