(a)
where a trust corporation is named in a will as executor, whether alone or
                    jointly with another person, grant probate to the corporation either solely or
                    jointly with another person, as the case may require; and
(b)
grant administration to a trust corporation either solely or jointly with
                    another person,
and the corporation may act accordingly as executor or administrator, as the
                case may be.

                or governing body thereof may, on behalf of the corporation, swear affidavits, give
                security and do any other act or thing which the court may require with a view to
                the grant to the corporation of probate or administration, and the acts of an
                officer so authorized shall be binding on the corporation.
