Personal liability
Trustees incur additional responsibilities, some of which impinge on them as individuals. They are answerable at law for the conduct of their trust. Advice on the Quaker understanding of trusteeship is given in the next chapter (15.03-15.05) and in the Treasurers' handbook (14.21). General guidance on the legal position of trustees will be found in leaflets available from the Charity Commission, or in Scotland the Inland Revenue, and specific advice can be obtained from these bodies when required.
