Torras, as one of her heirs at law, and of the indebtedness to me of a certain sum of money accumulated during the time I acted in the capacity of administer of said wife’s estate and guardian of trustee of my children Marie, Fernando, Josephine and Stella, children by my said first wife, to my said children Marie, Fernando, Josephine and Stella, the same property to be equally divided among them: provided however, that out of the property heretofore mentioned, the sum of three thousand dollars shall be paid to my said daughter Marie, in addition to the bequest hereinbefore mentioned; this being in consideration of an obligation which I deem I am justly due her, which is at least, if not more that the amount of this second bequest, said obligation being for assistance rendered by my said daughter Marie, to me, with rents from her individual property, collected by me. The rest and residue of any and all property by me possessed, or to which I may be or become entitled, I hereby devise and bequeath in equal parts unto all of my children Marie, Fernando, Josephine, Stella, Raymond, Julian and Elvera, to be divided between them, share and share alike. Item Third: I hereby constitute, name and appoint my son, Fernando Torras, as my executor of this my last will and testament, and I expressly enjoin upon my said executor that if he shall find the same to be practical, he may execute the trust hereby reposed in him and settle and close the administration of my estate within one year, as nearly as may be, from and next after my death.
