<br /> to sell any of the assets of my estate, including real estate, at
<br /> such prices, on such terms, and in such manner, whether at priv,ate or
<br />� public sale, as they, in their sole discretion, may determine to be
<br />' for the best interests of my estate and without the necessity of pro-
<br />' curing the leave, license or approval of any court or beneficiary. I
<br /> direct that any purchaser need not see to the proper application of
<br /> the purchase monies. I furtizer direct that my executors may make dis-
<br /> tribution of the assets to the beneficiaries in kind as well as in
<br />� cash, as they, in their sole discretion, may determine and without
<br /> the necessity of procuring the leave or approval of any court. I
<br /> f ully empower my executors to settle, adjust or compromise any claims
<br />� whatsoever, whether in favor of or against my estate, on such terms,
<br /> as they, in their sole discretion, may determine to be for the best
<br /> interests of my estate and without the necessity of procuring the
<br /> leave or approval of any court. I exonerate my executors from any
<br />� personal liability arising from any decline in dollar value or pur-
<br /> chasing power of any assets of my estate, or assets acquired by my
<br /> executors after my death and prior to full distribution of my estate.
<br /> I fully authorize any of my executors to purchase any of the assets of
<br /> my estate, irrespective of his fiduciary poWition on such terms as the
<br /> court having jurisdiction of the probate of this will may deem fair
<br /> and reasonable. I waive any privilege with respect to confidential
<br /> communications had at any time between me and any of the attesting
<br /> witnesses to this will and had at any time between me and my attorney, �
