interests in property among the shares.

deem appropriate, including elections with respect to qualified terminable interest
property, exemptions and the use of deductions as income tax or estate tax deductions,

property to my Personal Representative or trustee shall be held to see to the application
of such property.

under this Will or otherwise. The determination of my Personal Representative with
respect to any elections or allocation, if made or taken in good faith, shall be binding
upon all affected.
VII. CONTESTING BENEFICIARY
If any beneficiary under this Will, or any trust herein mentioned, contests or attacks this
Will or any of its provisions, any share or interest in my estate given to that contesting
beneficiary under this Will is revoked and shall be disposed of in the same manner
provided herein as if that contesting beneficiary had predeceased me.
