DEBT

I direct that as soon as is practical after my death, the executor named pursuant to this Will review all

of my just debts and obligations, including last illness and funeral expenses, except for those secured long-

term debts that may be assumed by the beneficiary of such property, unless such assumption is prohibited by

law or on agreement by the beneficiary. The executor is further directed to pay any attorneys’ fees and any

other estate administrative expenses. The executor shall pay these just debts only after a creditor provides

timely and sufficient evidence to support its claim and in accordance with applicable state law.

I direct that any estate, inheritance, and succession taxes, including any interest and penalties

thereon, imposed by the federal government or any state, district, or territory, attributable to assets includible

in my estate, passing either under or outside of my Will, be apportioned among the persons interested in my

estate in accordance with applicable state and federal law. My executor is authorized and directed to seek
