§ 14405. Powers and duties of officers
In proceedings in the probate court or elsewhere, connected with authority exercised as executor, administrator, receiver, assignee, trustee or guardian, all accounts, returns and other papers may be signed and sworn to in behalf of such a financial institution exercising trust powers by any officer thereof duly authorized by it. The answers and examinations of that officer, under oath, shall be received as the answers and examinations of the financial institution. The court may order and compel any and all officers of the financial institution to answer and attend the examinations, in the same manner as if they, personally, were parties to the proceeding or inquiry. Such a financial institution shall not be required to receive or hold any property or money or to execute any trust contrary to its own desire. (Added 1999, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff.
