IV. Death Taxes: All death taxes payable because of my death on the property
forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not it passes under this will, shall
be paid out of the principal of my probate estate so that the burden falls on my
residuary estate and none of those taxes shall be charged against any beneficiary.
V. Tax O�tions: I authorize my executors to exercise any options available in
determining and paying death taxes in my estate. In my corporate executor's sole
discretion (if I have a corporate executor), no compensating adjustments shall be
required between income and principal or between my trusts.
VI. Man�ement Provisions: I authorize my executors:
A. To retain and to invest in all forms of real and personal property,including
common trust funds operated by my corporate executor, regardless of any
limitations imposed by law on investments by executors or any principle of law
concerning investment diversification;
B. To compromise claims and controversies, and to abandon any property
which, in my executors' opinion,is of little or no value;
� C. To distribute property in kind, in cash or partly in each, in such manner as
c� may be determined and at valuations fixed by the fiduciary.
D. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to lease for any period of
time any real or personal property and to give options for sales, exchanges, and
leases for such prices and on such terms and conditions as is deemed proper.
E. To allocate any property received or charge incurred to principal or income
or partly to each, without regard to any law defining principal and income.
F. To retain property in kind and distribute to or for the use of any minor
beneficiary.
G. To exercise any election or privilege given by the federal or other tax laws
and to make or not to make equitable adjustment for the exercise or nonexercise
of any such elecrion or privilege.
2
H. To pay the income of my estate, pending final distribution to my
grandchildren, or for their use and benefit, in such amounts to such of them, and
at such times as may be deemed necessary or advantageous for tax purposes.
These authorities shall be in addition to those granted by law and shall be
exercisable without court authorization.
VII. B�neficiaries Under 21 or Disabled: If any beneficiary becomes entitled to
an outright distribution of income or principal and is (i) under the age of twenty-one or
(ii) in my executor's or trustee's (hereinafter in this Article "my fiduciary") opinion,
disabled by illness or other cause and unable to properly manage the funds:
A. As much of such income or principal as my fiduciary may from Hme to time
think desirable for that beneficiary either shall be paid to him or her or shall be
applied for his or her benefits; and
B. The balance of such income and principal -- and the net income from those
funds -- shall be kept invested and managed as a separate trust for that
� beneficiary, with the trust funds paid to or for the beneficiary in accordance with
� the provisions of the preceding paragraph. When the beneficiary reaches the
age of twenty-one or, in my trustee's opinion, becomes free of disability, as the
case may be, the balance shall be paid to the beneficiary. If he or she dies before
that time, the balance shall be paid to his or her executors or administrators.
Any funds to be applied under this article either shall be applied directly by
my trustee or, shall be paid to a parent or guardian of the beneficiary or to any person
or organization taking care of the beneficiary. My trustee shaII have no further
responsibility for any funds so paid or applied.
VIII. Early Ending of Trusts: If my trustee, in my trustee's sole discretion,
determines that it is desirable to do so, my trustee may end any trust under this will,
This may be done by paying the then-remaining principal and income of that trust to
the person then eligible to receive the income or, if there is more than one person, to
them in such amounts or proportions as my trustee may think appropriate. If any
person is a minor or is, in my trustee's opinion, disabled by illness or other cause and
unable to properly manage the funds, my trustee may pay the funds to his or her
parent or guardian or to any person or organization taking care of the person. In the
case of a minor, my trustee also may deposit the funds in a savings account in the
minor's name payable to the minor at majority, or appoint and pay the funds to a
3
_ _ . _ _ _ _.
custodian for the minor under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. My trustee
shall have no further responsibility for fiznds so paid or deposited.
IX. Riehts in Income: If a trust is funded from a larger share,it shall be entitled
to a proportionate amount of the income from the time the trust is to begin until the
actual funding. During that period, income and principal may be distributed directly to
the beneficiaries, subject to the terms of the trust. All income undistributed at a
beneficiary's death shall be treated as if it had accrued after his or her death.
