The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

The Public Trust Department

The Public Trust Department was formed by the Government in 1872 to act as an agent or attorney on behalf of trustees or private individuals, for the control and administration of their property. The Public Trustee may administer the estates of deceased persons; his administration is guaranteed by the State, and the funds are invested in Government or other safe securities. The charges made by this Department are practically nominal. District agents are appointed in the chief towns throughout the colony, and Mr E. F. Warren is the district agent at Auckland. This gentleman has offices in the Palmerston Buildings, Queen Street. An article on the Public Trust Department appears on page 644 of the Wellington volume of this Cyclopedia.
