SECOND: I give all tangible personal property owned by me at the time of my death, including without limitation personal effects, clothing, jewelry, furniture, furnishings, household goods, automobiles and other vehicles, together with all insurance policies relating thereto, to my daughter Ellen M. Berringer, if she survives me. THIRD: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows: (a) If my daughter survives me, to my daughter, or if she does not survive me to David Berringer if he shall survive me. If neither of the aforesaid beneficiaries of my residuary estate shall survive me, my residuary estate shall be paid and distributed to Elizabeth Stromberg if she shall survive me. (b) If none of the beneficiaries described in clause (a) above shall survive me, then I give my residuary estate to those who would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. FOURTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute o~mership in a minor or incompetent, my Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the whole or any part of such property to the beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or distribute the whole or any part to a guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the beneficiaryT under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with whom the beneficiary- resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed by the person to whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of n1y Executor from any liability with respect thereto, even though my Executor may be such person. If' such beneficiary is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of the whole or any part of such property until the beneficiary attains the age of eighteen (18) years, and may hold the same as a separate fund for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article SIXTH hereof. If the benefi- ciary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the beneficiary. If any occasion shall arise during the administration of my estate, or in connection with any matter or proceeding relating to my estate, calling for the appointment of a person to represent the interests of persons unborn or unascertained or the interests of any other person, I direct that such appointment shall be dispensed with, if permitted under applicable law.

SIXTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred upon executors wherever my Executor may act, including the Statutory Optional Fiduciary Powers, Statutory Disability Discretionary Powers and Statutory Principal Discretionary Powers enumerated iin Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 184B or any successor thereto. I also grant to my Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale, exchange, grant options on, invest and reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for cash or on credit; to borrow money and encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to exercise all powers of an absolute owner of property; to compromise and release claims with or without consideration; and to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice. The term "Executor" wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office from time to time. SEVENTH: If any beneficiary under this will and I die in a common accident or under circumstances in which it is difficult. or impractical to determine who survived the other, such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
