Any present trustee may transfer the management of trust property to the Public Trustee, who will thereupon hold such property upon the original trusts attaching thereto. Any person, company, association, or public body within or without the colony may place any property belonging to them in charge of the Public Trustee upon trust for such uses as may be defined in the deed creating the trust. Any Building, Land or Friendly Society may, by its rules provide that property belonging to it may be placed in the Public Trust Office, for such trusts and uses and with such powers as may be defined in or by the said rules. The advantages offered are : 1. State Guarantee against peculation, fraud or dishonesty. 2. All proposed investments are considered by a Board consisting of the Honorable Colonial Treasurer, the Attorney-General, the Comptroller and Auditor-General, the Government Insurance Commissioner, and the Public Trustee ; careful consideration of all securities offered is therefore ensured. The Public Trustee in his corporate capacity, never dies, never leaves the COUNTRY, and NEVER BECOMES INCAPACITBD, thus avoiding the many inconveniences resulting from frequent fresh appointments of trustees necessitated by death, change of abode, or mental or bodily infirmity. 4. Punctuality and promptitude in the remittance of periodical payments to beneficiaries under trust or will to any part of the colony or elsewhere at which it may be desired that payments should be made. 5. The effective check which is called into operation before any monies can be drawn from the Public Trustee’s account. 0. Reasonable charges : On estates, such as are now being considered, the Public Trustee is authorised to charge 1J percent on all receipts, and li per cent on disbursements, and one quarter per cent on all monies invested. No change is made for obtaining probate, nor for passing stamp and property tax return, nor for correspondence, however voluminous. Thus the saving to estates placed in this office is considerable.
