trustee's opinion so as to make establishment or continuance of the trust inadvisable, my
trustee(s) may make immediate distribution of the then remaining principal and any accumulated
or undistributed income outright to the person or persons and in the proportion they are then
entitled to income. Upon such termination, the rights of all beneficiary(ies) who might otherwise
have an interest as succeeding income beneficiary(ies) or in remainder shall cease.

or the trust estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property
owned in his own right, upon such terms and conditions as the fiduciaries may deem best, and to

his or her comfort, maintenance and support, should the fiduciaries deem such beneficiary
incapable of receiving the same by reason of age, illness, infirmity or incapacity, or to pay the
same to such person or persons as the fiduciaries select to disburse it, whose receipt shall be a
complete acquittance therefore without the intervention of any guardian.
M. To assume continuance of the status of any beneficiary with reference to
death, marriage, divorce, illness, incapacity or other change in the absence of information
deemed reliable without liability for disbursements made on such assumptions.
N. All principal and income shall, until actual distribution to any beneficiary, be
free of the debts, contracts, alienations and anticipations of any beneficiary, and the same may
not be liable for any levy, attachment, execution or sequestration while in the hands of any
fiduciaries. Provided, however, any beneficiary may assign any part or all of the beneficiary's
interest in my estate or the trust(s) to any one or more of the beneficiaries or my descendants.1
