In the trust, com pany section Daniel S. Remsen, of the New York bar. spoke on the "Post .Mortem Administration of Wealth.” In concluding his remarks he said: "Whatever we may think or say concerning executors and trustees the fact remains that the administration of property after death depends pri marily upon the testator. He may di rect it into any channel, giving or withholding such directions, powers and discretions as seem to him best, As he has the power he must accept, the responsibility. If he plans wisely his will, makes sure that it will stand the strictest scrutiny, ____ after _______ death and selects his executors and trus tees carefully, requiring bonds where desirable, he may reasonably expect satisfactory results, but not other- wise.
