-28. SHOULD any of my children, predecease me, or should they fail to survive me for a period of thirty (30) days the benefit that would have devolved upon each of them, shall devolve equally upon his/her descendants by representation or, failing such descendants, upon my remaining children or their descendants by representation. IN THE EVENT of any beneficiary under this my Will being under the age of twenty-one (21) years, his/her share shall be held and accumulated by my Administrator in Trust for the purpose of paying so much thereof for the maintenance, education and advancement in life of such beneficiary as he, in his absolute discretion, may deem necessary. Upon the said beneficiary attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, he/she shall be paid the amount held in Trust for him/her. Any surplus income may either be capitalised or accumulated. I further authorise my Administrator in Trust to utilise the whole or part of the capital for the above purposes should he, in his discretion, decide that the income is insufficient. When the beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years the trust shall terminate and the capital, as it then exists, together with any accumulated income, shall be paid to him/her. Notwithstanding the above, I direct that my Administrator in Trust shall have the power, in his discretion, to accelerate or postpone termination of this trust, either in whole or in part, should circumstances warrant such action. 10. MY EXECUTOR and Administrator shall be entitled and empowered in his absolute and unfettered discretion either to retain or to realise the assets of my Estate or any portion thereof by public auction or private treaty and he shall further have the widest possible powers as to the method and manner of investment of the proceeds of realisation or other assets of my Estate with power, from time to time, to alter or vary any of the investments made by him and to re-invest in such manner as he may think fit. Without prejudice to the generality of the aforegoing, I direct that my Administrator shall have power to open and operate upon Banking Accounts and saving accounts with reputable Banks; to purchase or acquire any movable and immovable property and to sell the same; to appear before any Registrar of Deeds for the purpose of completing or cancelling Bonds, transfers, cession of Bonds or writing down the capital of Bonds; to transfer or accept transfer of any shares, stock or debentures and to subscribe for further shares in any Company in which I or my Estate may hold shares; to enter into leases and to cancel the same; to institute or defend any legal proceedings and to withdraw or settle the same and I further direct that the aforegoing powers shall be in addition to and without prejudice to and without in any way limiting the powers usually allowed to Administrators and Trustees in Law. My Administrator shall further have the power to expend trust monies in maintaining or improving any immovable property held by him, or to borrow money, for any of the purposes of my estate and to provide security thereof, to appoint accountants, agents and solicitors and allow them suitable remuneration. 11. I DIRECT that any benefit or bequest devolving under this Will shall not form part of the community of property or accrual arising out of any marriage which any beneficiary may contract or may have contracted and in the case of a female beneficiary, shall be free from the marital power of any spouse which she may marry or may have married.
