  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.

Any such trustee or assignee, who fails or refuses to settle, as above required, after such citation or notice, commits a Class A misdemeanor, and shall be liable to indictment or presentment in the same manner as administrators who fail or refuse to settle as required of them by law.
