to be my will, and I revoke all other wills and codicils.
I. EXECUTORS
A. I appoint my son, JOSEPH J. GASKIN, to serve as the executor of my estate.
If my son should fail or cease to serve, I appoint my daughter, LILLIAN B. GASKIN, to
serve as the executrix of my estate. If both JOSEPH J. GASKIN and LILLIAN B. GASKIN
should fail or cease to serve, I appoint my daughter, MARY J. GASKIN, to serve in their
stead.
B. No executor shall be required to file bond or enter security in any jurisdiction.
II. PERSONAL EFFECTS
A. I may have prepared a memorandum written entirely in my own handwriting
and signed by me designating beneficiaries of articles of my tangible personal property.
If I do leave such a memorandum, I request my Executor to distribute the items to the
persons designated in the memorandum.
B. I direct that each of my children be entitled to take back items each of them
has previously given to me as gifts.
C. I give all the rest of my jewelry, clothing, books, photographs, furniture and
furnishings, appliances, and other personal and household items, together with all policies
insuring those items, in equal shares, to my children, FELICIA GASKIN FU, LILLIAN B.
GASKIN, MARY J. GASKIN and JOSEPH J. GASKIN, to be divided among them as they
may agree.
III. SPECIFIC BEQUESTS (UP TO $16 000 00)

grandchildren who survive me for thirty (30) days: KAI-MING FU; EMILY GASKIN SITCH;
KAI-MEI FU; ALISSA LIPTON; ELISA ANNELIN ;ERIC LIPTON; MOIRA ANNELIN; and

I give eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00) to my son JOSEPH J. GASKIN, if he
survives me by thirty (30) days. If my son does not survive me, I give $8,000.00 as follows:
fifty percent (50%) to my son's wife, KAREN GASKIN; and fifty percent (50%) divided
among my grandchildren named above, in equal shares. This bequest to my son (or his
wife) is made with the understanding that some of it will be spent on "extras" for my
granddaughter, LYDIA GASKIN.
If my estate is valued at less than $16,000.00, the amount of the above bequests
shall be reduced proportionally.
IV. RESIDUARY ESTATE
I give all the rest of my estate to my children, FELICIA GASKIN FU, LILLIAN B.
GASKIN, MARY J. GASKIN and JOSEPH J. GASKIN, in equal shares; provided however,
if any of my children has predeceased me, but issue of my deceased child survives me, the
share that would otherwise pass to such deceased child of mine shall instead pass to the
deceased child's issue then living, per stirpes and not per capita.
V. PROTECTIVE PROVISION
Until actual distribution to a beneficiary, no income or principal, or any interest in any
income or principal, may be sold, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way
by the beneficiary, and no income or principal shall be subject to any attachment or other
interference by any legal or equitable procedure.
VI. TAXES
My executor shall pay from my residuary estate all death taxes payable by reason
of my death with respect to all property and interests passing under my will. To the fullest
extent allowable by law or any governing instrument, my executor shall recover from any
property or interest passing outside of my will all other death taxes which my executor may
be required to pay by reason of my death.
VII. POWERS OF EXECUTOR
In addition to the powers given to my executor by law or by other provisions of my
will, my executor shall have the following powers, which they may exercise as often as my
executor considers advisable, and until final distribution, without having to seek or obtain
approval from any court:
