*451OPINION OF THE COURT
Michael H. Feinberg, S.
Incidental to this proceeding to judicially settle decedent’s final account, covering the period from December 1, 1984 to July 31, 1999, is a plea for construction of paragraphs Fifth and Sixth of his will. Republic National Bank (petitioner), the successor executor and trustee under the will, maintains that construction is necessary before final distribution can be made. Petitioner, the stakeholder of testamentary trusts created under paragraphs Fifth and Sixth, takes no position with respect to the ultimate remaindermen of the trusts.
