Furthermore, I direct that all state, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid by the Co-Executors of my estate. 2. My Co-Executors may, at their discretion, compromise claims, borrow money, retain property for such length of time as they may deem proper; lease and sell property for such prices, on such terms, at public or private sales, as they may deem proper; and invest estate property and income without restriction to legal investments unless otherwise provided hereunder. 3. I authorize and empower my Co-Executors to sell any realty and/or personalty owned by me at my death and not specifically devised or bequeathed herein, at public or private sale or sales and to give good and sufficient deeds and/or bills of sale therefore, in fee simple, as I could do if living.

No person(s) shall benefit hereunder unless such beneficiary shall survive me by sixty (60) days. 7. No Co-Executor acting hereunder shall be required to post bond or enter security in this or any other jurisdiction. 8. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge his or her interest in any income or principal held or distributable hereunder, and no beneficiary's creditors may levy, attach or otherwise reach any such interest. 9. If any person entitled to share in any distribution under the terms of this my Last Will and Testament becomes an adverse party in any proceeding to contest the probate of this Last Will and Testament, such person shall forfeit his or her entire interest inherited hereunder and all provisions in favor of such person shall be declared void and of no effect.
