person receiving the transfer of any property passing hereunder or otherwise passing by reason

my intention that none of the aforesaid taxes, either federal or state, or any property required

Dr hereafter enacted, shall be prorated among the persons interested in my Estate to whom

property owned by me at my death and all insurance policies on such property as follows:

My Personal Representative shall have the right to dispose of said remaining items of
personalty, either in kind or in cash as a result of liquidation thereof as my Personal
Representative, in his/her sole discretion, deems appropriate under the
circumstances. It is my intent, however, that should any beneficiary of my Residuary
Estate desire to receive a particular item in kind which was not specifically
bequeathed to that beneficiary, to the extent reasonably possible, my Personal
Representative shall attempt, but not be obligated, to follow that beneficiary's
request.

from my Estate sufficient funds to provide for that safekeeping.

made pursuant to Article 06 herein.

or persons and in the proportions they are entitled, and if any such person is a minor
