advantageous from the viewpoint of overall tax reductions, including, without limitation of the
foregoing, power and authority to claim administration or other expenses either as income tax
deductions or inheritance or estate tax deductions, without regard to whether they were paid
from principal or income and without requiring adjustments between principal and income for
any resulting effect on income or estate taxes, and a deduction of such expenses for income tax
purposes shall be given effect in computing the respective shares of all persons interested in
my estate set forth herein, even though the effect is to increase the share of one beneficiary or

any, between beneficiaries with respect thereto as she shall deem appropriate in view of the
nature of the transaction and the amounts involved.
J. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.

~y property, including, but not limited to, income and principal held for minors or disabled
beneficiaries at any time, until the actual distribution of all property. All powers, authorities

management.

inability of my sister to act for whatever reason in this capacity, then I nominate, constitute,
and appoint my friend, KAYE REAM, as Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament.
I direct that no representative named above shall be required to post security for the
faithful performance of her duties in any jurisdiction insofar as I am able by law to relieve her
of such obligation. Any of my representatives shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for
the performance of the duties set forth here.
