NOTICE is hereby given, pursuant to the Standing Orders of the General Assembly of New Zealand relating to Private Bills, that the New Zealand Insurance Company (Limited), hereinafter called “the company,” will, within fourteen days after the commencement of the session of the General Assembly of New Zealand to be held next after the date of this notice, present a petition to the General Assembly of New Zealand, through the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives, praying and applying for leave to bring in a Private Bill to be called “The New Zealand Insurance Company Trust Act, 1916.”

The objects of the said application and Bill are generally to enable the company to exercise effectively the powers conferred upon the company by an order of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand made on the twenty-seventh day of July, 1911, confirming a special resolution of the company effecting an amendment of the company’s Memorandum of Association by empowering the company, inter alia, to undertake and execute trusts of all kinds and to act as trustee, executor or administrator, receiver, guardian, committee, or in other fiduciary position, and generally to transact all kinds of trust and agency business.

The particular objects of the said Bill are—

1. To enable the company to act as executor of any will or codicil in which it shall be named as executor, and to act as administrator of any estate if it shall be authorized to apply for letters of administration thereof.

2. To obtain probate of any such will or letters of administration of any such estate on the affidavits of a director or manager of the company, and to empower any Court having jurisdiction to receive and act upon such affidavits.

3. To enable the company to be appointed by any Court having jurisdiction, or by any person having power of appointment, as trustee under any deed or will, or guardian, or trustee, or receiver, or committee of the estate of any person under disability, and to act accordingly.

4. To enable the company to be appointed and to act as attorney of any person or corporation, and to enable the powers of the company under any power of attorney to be exercised by the manager of the company, or any director or two directors thereof, and to extend and apply the provisions of section 100 of the Property Law Act, 1908, and section 306 of the Companies Act, 1908, to any such power of attorney, and to enable the manager or any director or two directors to make the statutory declarations as prescribed by the said sections.

5. To provide for the personal attendance of the manager of the company before any Court having jurisdiction in all cases where the company as such executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, receiver, or committee as aforesaid would be required to attend, and to render such manager responsible in his own person by process of attachment, committal for contempt, and otherwise, and responsible for the discharge of the company’s duties in any such capacity or office as aforesaid.

6. To enable the company to receive and retain remuneration not exceeding £5 for every £100 received by the company in any such capacity or office as aforesaid, and to transact the insurance business in connection with any estate committed to the company at the usual rates of premium, as if the company were not in a fiduciary position.

7. To subject the company to the same control and liability to removal from any of the offices or capacities aforesaid as a private individual holding any such office or capacity would be subject to.

8. To render the company liable to furnish accounts to persons beneficially interested in any estate committed to the company or managed by it, and to provide for orders of the Supreme Court or a Judge thereof for such accounts on summary application of the persons interested without suit or petition.

9. To provide for the audit and examination of the accounts and books of the company affecting or having reference to any estate committed to the company, at the instance of any person interested therein.

10. To prevent the voluntary winding-up of the company while any estate committed to it shall not be wholly administered; and to enable the Supreme Court or a Judge thereof, on the application of any person interested, to restrain the voluntary winding-up of the company.

11. To provide for payment into the Public Account of all moneys held by the company which shall be unclaimed for a period of five years, to be dealt with as unclaimed moneys in the Public Trust Office are dealt with, and to provide for a penalty on the company in case of default.
