THE NATURE OF A TRUST WHEN a Trust Company accepts responsibil ity as your executor or trustee, it assumes, under the law, a form of obligation which has first claim on its resoucres. 7 Whether the trust company is acting a execu tor or trustee, or both, the property of others which it handles is trust property. Such property is kept seg regated. It cannot be used for anyone but the bene ficiaries named in the will or trust. In no event can it be touched by creditors of the trust company. Thus, by naming this Company your executor or trustee, you surround your estate with the safe gunrd of finacnial responsibility. The resources of the Company are a pledge of the faithful execution of its duty.
