Article Four
Death Taxes
Section 1.
Definition of Death Taxes
The term "death taxes" as used in my will shall mean all inheritance, estate, succession and other
similar taxes that are payable by any person on account of that person's interest in the estate of
the decedent or by reason of the decedent's death including penalties and interest but excluding
the following:
a. Any addition to the federal estate tax for any "excess retirement
accumulation" under Internal Revenue Code Section 4980A.
b. Any additional tax that may be assessed under Internal Revenue Code
Section 2032A.

c.
Any federal or state tax imposed on a generation-skipping transfer as
that term is defined in the federal tax laws unless the applicable tax
statutes provide that the generation-skipping transfer tax is payable
directly out of the assets of my gross estate.
Section 2.
Payment of Death Taxes
Pursuant to the terms of my revocable living trust all death taxes whether or not attributable to
property inventoried in my probate estate shall be paid by the Trustee from that trust. However,
if that trust does not exist at the time of my death or if the assets of that trust are insufficient to
pay the death taxes in full, I direct my personal representative to pay any death taxes that cannot
be paid by the trustee from the assets of my probate estate by prorating and apportioning those
taxes among the beneficiaries of this will.
Notwithstanding any other provision in my trust all death taxes incurred by reason of assets
transferred outside of my trust or probate estate shall be assessed against those persons receiving
such property.

entity shall be deemed to have predeceased me.

reference only and shall have no significance in the construction or interpretation of this will.

not affect any of the other provisions of this will, and all invalid provisions shall be wholly
disregarded in interpreting this will.
