sixty-two hundred and ninety-eight, the personal representative of a
deceased sole trustee or of a deceased trustee who at the time of his
death was the only trustee qualified to act, or if there be more than
one trustee, and one or more but less than all of them have died,
resigned, or removed from the State, or declined to accept the trust,
the remaining trustee or trustees, shall execute the trust, or so much
thereof as remained unexecuted at the death, removal, declination,

property) unless the instrument creating the trust directs otherwise,
or some other trustee be appointed for the purpose by a court of
chancery having jurisdiction of the case. This section and the two
preceding sections shall not apply to any case provided for by section
