In re the Construction of the Will of Flagg

In our opinion the executors and trustees may retain investments not eligible by law for the investment of trust funds, which were received by them pursuant to the terms of the will, providing they exercise due care and prudence in the retention and disposition of them and should not be summarily directed not to retain such investments.
