# Titles to Land Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1868, Section 21: Trustee or executor to apply lands for purposes of trust or will.


Where such testamentary or mortis causa deed or writing shall be conceived in favour of a grantee as trustee or executor of the grantor, and shall not be expressed to be wholly in favour of such trustee or executor for his own benefit, such trustee or executor shall apply such whole lands for the purposes specified in such deed or writing; and where such purposes cannot, in whole or in part, be carried into effect, or where no purposes with reference to such lands have been or shall be specified in such deed or writing, such trustee or executor shall convey such lands, or so much thereof, or shall apply so much of the proceeds thereof, if such lands shall have been sold and realized by him, as may not be required for the purposes of such deed or writing, to or for behoof of the person or the successors of the person who, but for the passing of this Act and the granting of such deed or writing, would have been entitled to succeed to such lands on the death of such grantor.
