It is a lengthy process, replete with formalities, full of traps for the inex- perienced. (3 \When you entrust your estate to a private executor you entrust it to one who, in a great majority of cases, will act in this capacity for the first time, and who will necessarily find it diicult, having his own business and family, to give your affairs his best attention. q By appointing the Toronto General Trusts your executor, you will be employing a Corporation whose business it has been for fifty-six years to administer estates.
