M'KCIAL OFFICE. THE PUBLIC THUST OFFICE OF NEW ZEALAND. \ LTHOUGH this office has been m XjL existence for a period of 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 m a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes : — The Public Trustee is an officer specially appointed by the Government. 1. To take charge of all kinds of money bonds such as Marriage settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys, the title to which is m dispute, or whose !■ gal owner is unknown, or cannot be found, &c, &. 2. To administer the willsof all persons who by a ! pointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due 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 parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appoint, d, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect m costly and harassing litiga- i tion. 3. To take out administration of all eetates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incure 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 the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. To take charge of, and grant lease of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is unknown, or who has been absent irom the Colony for ten years having left no known agent. State guarantee is secured for the safe custody of all monies placed m the office. The cost of administering estates is very small. Information may be obtained from all agents. R. C. HAMERTON, Public Trustee
