However,my personal representative need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his,her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my personal representative, in his,her, or its sole Page 1 of 7 Pages discretion,to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable marker at my gra�e, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose. SECOND I give, devise, and bequeath my entire estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate to my granddaughter,MELODY L.WALLACE,also known as MELODY L.

When the beneficiary attains the age of twenty-two (22)years or is in the judgment of my Trustee mentally sound whichever event occurs later,the Trust shall terminate and the remainder thereof shall be paid to said beneficiary. If said beneficiary shall die before the termination of said Trust,the Trust shall terminate and the remainder thereof shall be paid in accordance with the paragraphs above. I � direct that no Trustee shall be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of the � Trustee's duties in this or any other jurisdiction. v,' .
