charity shall be exonerated from responsibility for any other beneficiaries’ tax liability, regardless
of whether they pass as a specific bequest, a non-probate asset or as a portion of the residue of
my estate. None of the estate tax which may become due and payable from the residue of my
estate shall be paid out of any spouse's share or charitable bequest, but rather shall be paid from
the remainder of the residue of my estate.
SECOND: In case at my death there are any funds upon deposit in any bank accounts, or any
bonds, share of stock, or other securities of any government or governmental agency, or of any
corporation or savings and loan or building-loan associations, standing in my name together
with the name or names of any person or persons with right of survivorship (and to the extent
permitted by law, any such funds upon deposit standing in my name as trustee for another
person or persons), | bequeath all my beneficial interest, if any, in each such respective
account, bond, share or other security to the person or persons, if then living, in whose name or
names the same may stand together with mine, and if any passbook, certificate or other
document evidencing any such account, bond, stock or security be found among my effects, I
direct my executor to deliver the same to him, her or them.
