bursement of the life tenants therefor.
SIXTH:All the rest,residue,and remainder of my estate,real,
personal and mixed,of whatsoever kind and wheresoever found,which I may own
or to which I may be entitled at the time of my death,I give,devise and

(a)A ONE-HALF (1/2)PART of my residuary estate,which shall
include my property at 5712 North Bay Road,Miami Beach,Florida,if then the
same shall be ol'lned by me,shall be set apart as a separate trust and the
net income therefrom shall be paid in monthly or other convenient payments
unto my wife,WILMA L.BAKER,during her lifetime;in addition to such
income payments,the Trustees are authorized to use at any time and from time
to time so much of the principal of the corpus of the trust as in their
discretion may be deemed adv~sable or desirable for her maintenance,support,
comfort and welfare,and I direct the Trustees to give a liberal construction
to the needs for which such principal might be used.
-2 -
•••
(b)My said wife,WIL~L.BAKER,shall have the right to
occupy the property at 3712 North Bay Road,Miami Beach,Florida,for so long
as she chooses to remain therein,and the expenses of maintaining the property
in habitable condition,taxes,premiums of fire insurance,and other like
charges shall be paid by the Trustees from the income received.In the event

receipt of her written notice of permanent removal therefrom,may sell the
property to such person or persons for such price and upon such terms and
conditions as they deem satisfactory.
(c)Upon the death of my said wife,WILMA L.BAKER,the then
principal theretofore held for her use shall continue to be held IN TRUST by
my said Trustees and the net income therefrom shall be paid in monthly or
other convenient payments to her son,GARRATT LeVAN,during his lifetime and,
upon his death,the principal then remaining in the trust shall be divided
into as many shares as there are issue of his living at the time of his death
who shall take per stirpes,and each such share shall be held and administered
as a separate trust estate until such surviving issue respectively attain the
age of twenty-one (21)years when the principal shall be paid to t.h.em free and
discharged of the trust.Should any of such issue of the said GARRATT LeVAN
die before attaining the age of twenty-one (21)years,leaving issue to
survive him,her or them,the share of such one or ones so dying shall be
divided to and among the latter,distribution to be made as they severally
attain the age of twenty-one (21)years.Should any of the surviving issue
of the said GARRATT LeVAN die before attaining the age of twenty-one (21)
years without leaving issue to survive him,he or them,the share of such
- 3 -
•••
one or ones so dying shall be divided equally among the sumving brothers
and/or sisters,as the case may be,or the issue of any of them then deceased
and shall be added to and become a part of the trust estates held for them
and the income shall be paid and the principal distributed as a part thereof.
(d)Should my said wife,WILMA L.BAKER,predecease me,then
and in that event I give,devise and bequeath unto my said Trustees a ONE-
FIFTH (1/5)PART of my residuary estate IN TRUST for the use of GARRATT LeVAN,
and the income shall be paid and the principal distributed in the same manner
as above provided for him in Sub-Section (c)of this paragraph and this
provision shall be in lieu thereof.
(e)The remaining ONE-HALF (1/2)PART of my residuary estate,

for my daughter,ANNE BAKER WEIMER,and the net income therefrom shall be
paid unto her in monthly or other convenient payments during her lifetime,

accumulated thereon and remaining unpaid to her,shall be divided in equal
shares to and among my three grandchildren hereinafter named and shall be
added to the trust estates hereinafter created for them and the income shall
be paid and the principal distributed as a part thereof.
Due to the fact that ample provision for my said daughter has been
made by other relatives of hers,includL~her mother and myself,it has
seemed to me advisable to make provision for her herein upon the same basis
as made for my three grandchildren.
-4-
~--.---------..----------.
(2)An equal ONE-FOURTH (1/4)PART shall be held in trust
for my granddaughter,AMY A1~NE mMER,an equal ONE-FOURTH (1/4)PART for my
granddaughter,JULIA V.WEIMER,and an equal ONE-FOURTH (1/4)PART for my
grandson,WP~TFJR B.WEIMER,and during their respective minorities as much of
the net income as the Trustees in their discretion may deem necessary may be
used for their maintenance,support,and education.During such minority any
excess income over and above their reasonable needs may be accumulated and
invested by the Trustees until they shall have respectively attained their
majority,at which time the entire net income shall be paid unto them.
(3)As and when each of the said grandchildren shall have
attained the age of forty-five (45)years,the Trustees shall distribute to
him or her a ONE-FOURTH (1/4)PART of the principal of their respective share
and a further ONE-FOURTH (1/4)PART thereof as and when they shall have
respectively attained the age of fifty-five (55)years.Thereafter the income

viving and each share shall be held and administered as a separate trust until

issue die before having attained the age of twenty-one (21)years,the share
of such one or ones shall go per stirpes to increase the shares of the other
surviving issue then living,and so on from time to time as often as a death
occurs.

leaving issue to survive him or her or,if leaving issue to survive,all of
such should die before attaining the age of twenty-one (21)years,the

v
among the trust estates of the other two grandchildren and the issue per
stirpes of either of them then deceased and shall be held,administered,and
