ITEM IIl. I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate,
of whatever nature and wherever situate, as follows:
Said residue shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are nieces and

fail to survive me by thirty (30) days but who have issue that do survive me by thirty (30)
days; one such share shall be distributed to each of the nieces and nephews who so survive
me, and one such share shall be distributed to, or divided among, the issue of those nieces
and nephews who fail to survive me by thirty (30) days. It is my intention to include the
issue of deceased nieces and nephews who are not living at the time I have executed this Will.

any principle of diversification, risk or productivity.
B. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments

C. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, mortgage or lease for

cause, directly to the beneficiary thereof, to the natural or legal guardian or the person who

such beneficiary. The receipt of such persons to whom payment is made or entrusted shall
