appointed. His functions will be to advise the trustee of the
trust. The exercise by the trustees of any of their powers and
discretions shall be subject to the prior consent of the protector.

age and of sound mind, including the settlor, or any body corporate,
any firm, partnership or group of persons, whether incorporate
or unincorporate. The protector has a range of other powers and
may also be a settlor, a trustee or a beneficiary of the trust.
The Act provides for the appointment of a custodian
trustee which shall be a firm, a partnership or a body corporate
and who will act on the instructions of a managing trustee.
