Re: Interpret please

No attorney in their right mind is going to interpret THAT! You're providing excerpts from a will without any form of background information. I suggest you consult with an estate planning attorney for 30 minutes.

Remember, I'm an attorney but I'm not YOUR attorney. Only a thorough review of your situation by a competent attorney after an attorney-client relationship has been established will result in an informed legal opinion.
