Section 1605 Of Article 5. Miscellaneous From California Financial Code >> Division 1.1. >> Chapter 16. >> Article 5.
1605
. Any court having jurisdiction of any executor, administrator,
guardian, conservator, assignee, receiver, depositary, or trustee,
upon the application of any such officer or trustee or upon the
application of any person having an interest in the estate or
property administered by such officer or trustee, after such notice
to the other parties in interest as the court may direct, or without
notice if all parties in interest consent thereto, and after a
hearing upon such application, may authorize or direct such officer
or trustee, whether such person has duly qualified or not, to deposit
any moneys then in his hands or which may come into his hands
thereafter, and such portion or all of the personal assets of such
estate as the court shall deem proper for safekeeping, with any such
trust company. Upon such deposit being made the court shall by an
order of record reduce the bond to be given, or theretofore given, by
such officer or trustee so as to cover only the estate remaining in
the hands of such officer or trustee. The money and property so
deposited shall thereupon and thereafter be held by such trust
company under the order and direction of the court.
Such trust company shall not be required to give any bond or
security, except as provided in this division, in case of any deposit
of moneys or other personal assets with it under this section. Its
responsibility for the safekeeping of personal assets so deposited
with it shall be that of a bailee for hire.
