All estates heretofore or hereafter granted or devised
to trustees shall be construed to have vested and to vest an estate of
joint tenancy in the trustees.
When a trustee is
removed a conveyance or devise from the removed trustee to the old and
new trustees or to the new trustees shall vest in the old and new
trustees or the new trustees an estate in joint tenancy, notwithstanding
any want of unity.
When a trustee
dies or resigns or his office becomes vacant for any cause, and a new trustee
is appointed, the surviving trustees, if any there be, and the new trustees
shall hold the trust estate as joint tenants, and a conveyance of a right
and interest in the trust estate from the surviving trustees, to the new
trustee shall vest in all the trustees an estate in joint tenancy,
notwithstanding any want of unity.

substituted trustee is appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction or
becomes such by operation of the terms of a will or other instrument or by
operation of law, title to the trust assets shall forthwith vest in all the
trustees in office including the new, additional or substituted trustee as
joint tenants.
