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 Executor or Executrix of my estate. Further, to the extent that sufficient assets exist in my estate, any and all inheritance or other estate taxes, whether to non-chariYable or charitable beneficiaries, shall be paid by my Executor or Execuh-ix from the residuary of my estate prior to distribution and no part of the taxes paid shall be prorated or apportioned among the persons or beneficiaries receiving the taxable property regardless of tax rate applicable by law to each such persons or beneficiaries.

When such minor reaches majority, the funds so held shall be paid over to such person, or, if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her legal representatives. In so holding any principal or income for any minor, the trustee of such power shall have all the rights, powers, duties and discretions conferred or imposed upon my fiduciaries acting under this Will.
