I further direct that no bond or other security shall be required of any Executor or Executrix appointed in this Will for the performance of his, her or its duties in any jurisdiction in which he, she or it may be called upon to act. The terms Executor or Executrix may be used interchangeably in this Will and shall refer to any Executor or Executrix appointed in this will, or any other Administrator appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. FIFTH In addition to, and not in limitation af, the powers conferred by law or by other provisions of this Will, my Executrix shall have the following powers, each of which may be exercised from time to time by my Executrix in her sole discretion: (a) To retain in the form received, and to sell either at public or private sale, or to distribute in kind, any real or personal property.
