representative or representatives of my estate. No individual acting as such need post
a bond.

best, to continue any business enterprises, to purchase assets from my estate, to

the State of California requiring ancillary¹⁷ administration, I appoint my domiciliary
Executors as ancillary Executors for such property. I give to said domiciliary
Executors the following additional powers, rights and privileges to be exercised in
their sole and absolute discretion, with reference to such property: to cause such
ancillary administration to be commenced, carried on and completed; to determine what
assets, if any, are to be sold by the ancillary Executors; to pay directly or to
advance funds from the California estate to the ancillary Executors for the payment of
all claims, taxes, costs and administration expenses, including compensation of the
ancillary Executors and attorneys' fees incurred¹⁸ by reason of the ownership of such
property and by such ancillary administration; and upon completion of such ancillary
administration, I authorize¹⁹ and direct the ancillary Executors to distribute, transfer
and deliver the residue²⁰ of such property to the domiciliary Executors herein, to be
distributed by them under the terms of this Will, it being my intention that my entire
estate shall be administered as a unit and that my domiciliary Executors shall
supervise and control, so far as permissible²¹ by local law, any ancillary administration
proceedings²² deemed necessary in the settlement of my estate.
Ⅷ
If any of my children are minors²⁴ at the time of my death, I nominate my mother,
KATHERINE JACKSON as guardian²⁵ of the persons and estates of such minor²³ children. If
KATHERINE JACKSON fails to survive me, or is unable or unwilling²⁶ to act as guardian, I
nominate DIANA ROSS as guardian of the persons and estates of such minor children.
