26 Implied indemnity of trustees
A trustee shall, without prejudice to the provisions of the instrument
(if any) creating the trust, be chargeable only for money, stocks,
funds, and securities actually received by him, notwithstanding his
signing any receipt for the sake of conformity, and shall be
answerable and accountable only for his own acts, receipts,
neglects, or defaults, and not for those of any other trustee, nor for
any banker, broker, or other person with whom any trust moneys or
securities may be deposited, nor for the insufficiency or deficiency
of any stocks, funds or securities nor for any other loss, unless the
same happens through his own wilful default, and may reimburse
himself; or pay or discharge out of the trust premises, all expenses
incurred in or about the execution of his trusts or powers.
