    A To sell the trust property when necessary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B To mortgage trust property for personal loans Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D To apply trust funds for the benefit of the beneficiary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E To carry out acts necessary for the execution of the trust Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under Section 51 , a trustee has the power to carry out acts necessary for the execution of the trust but cannot use trust property for personal purposes, such as mortgaging it for personal loans. This would violate their fiduciary duty.
