education, support and welfare without regard to his or her parent's ability to
provide for such education, support or welfare, or to make payment for these
purposes, without further responsibility, to the beneficiary or to the beneficiary's
parents or to any person taking care of the beneficiary. Said guardian shall
administer the separate and equal share of each beneficiary until he or she
becomes 21 years of age, at which time the share of each beneficiary remaining
in the guardianship account shall be paid to said beneficiary in full. In the
event of the death of any beneficiary after my decease and prior to reaching
the age of 21 years, his or her share shall be distributed equally to the
surviving children or child to be administered in accordance with this guardianship
provisions.
ITEM FIVE: All estate, inheritance, succession and other taxes, imposed or
payable by reason of my death, and interest and penalties thereon, with respect
to all property comprising my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not
such property passes under this will, shall be paid out of the principal of my
residuary estate, without apportionment or right of reimbursement.
ITEM SIX: I direct that my personal representative or guardian shall not be
required to give bond for the faithful performance of their duties in any
jurisdiction.
