SPECIAL OFFICE. THE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE OF NEW ZEALAND. A LTHOUGH this office has been m jljL 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 Minor?, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys, the title to which is m dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown, or cannot be found, &c, &. 2. To administer the wills of all persons who by appointing 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 appointed, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect m costly and harassing litigation. 3. To take one administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incure the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cau*e obtain the necessary powers to act. Tn snch rases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discbarge all legal debts so far the assets extend, and divide the. residue amongst the next of kin. 4. To take chaFge of, and grant lease of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is unknown, or who has been absent from the Colony for ten years having left no known agent. State guarantee is secured for the safe cust< ay 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
