564:2-a Public Trustees. –
The judge of probate shall be empowered to appoint a suitable person as public trustee to hold office during the court's pleasure whose duty shall be to administer all such small charitable trusts as the court may assign to him, where it is found that the practical difficulties or the unreasonable expense involved in each trust would tend to defeat its purpose, provided, however, that in each instance the trustee of the fund assigned shall give his consent.
