Article 25 Investigation fee

On being asked to act as trustee of an existing trust the Public Trustee may demand the deposit of a fee or fees as he may deem sufficient to cover the cost of examining and considering relevant documents and accounts whether or not he subsequently accepts appointment as trustee and in the event of his appointment he may, at his discretion, set off all or part of the fee or fees so deposited against fees then due under Parts II and III of this Order.

When the Public Trustee renounces probate of any will of which he has been appointed executor he may charge a fee commensurate with the work involved in his investigation of the assets and liabilities of the estate.
