SAFETY FOR YOUR ESTATE. No. 4—Powers of tire Public Trustee. statutorw powers conferred on the Public Trustee are much more extensive than those possessed by a private trustee. The Public Trustee is practically enabled to do all the tilings that an owner could do, where the value of an asset does not exceed a certain specified amount. While a private trustee has very often to approach the Court for its authority to take some step in connection with the administration of an estate in his care, the expense and delay are saved when the Public Trustee is administrator. Although possessed of much more liberty of action than a private trustee, the Public Trustee consults the beneficiaries at every stage of the administration, and-he is largely guided by their wishes and advice in all matters pertaining to the estate in which they are interested. Moreover, being a public official, the Public Trustee is available at all times to answer for his conduct, should a beneficiary be dissatisfied with his administration of an estate, and. in addition the Office enjoys the advantage of the State guarantee. All persons placing their affairs in the hands of the Public Trustee may rest assured that the statutory powers, which he is privileged to exercise are availed of only when it is to the interests of their estates to do so, and as a rule with the approval of the beneficiaries concerned.

For full information apply to the PUBLIC TRUSTEE, Wellington, or to Mr. T. R. Saywell, District Public trustee, Greymouth. Agencies also at Reefton and Westport, and part time jffice at Hokitika.
