The Duty of Trustee about Preparing a Safe Place for Trust
Issue No.2001- If a person who accepts a deposit has not been negligent in looking after it, nor has he gone beyond moderation, and then the property unexpectedly perishes, he will not be responsible for it. However, if he deliberately keeps it at a place where it is likely to be stolen, and if the property is thus lost or damaged, he will be responsible for it, unless he did not have a more secure place, and could not deliver it to its owner or give it to someone who could look after it better.
