THE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE^ Guaranteed by the State. _______ ALTHOUGH this office has been in existence for j a period ot more than seven years, it Is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently known or understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this Office undertakes: 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, monies to be invested for , the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in disputo, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, 2? The administration of the wills of persons who | by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the dus fulfilment of their wishes, and avoid the risk consequent on the appointment of private persons as executors, who not unfrequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of the parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect in costly and harrassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide, the residue amongst the next of kirn 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. . 5.
