When a life estate in any personal property is given by will to one with remainder to another, and there is no trustee named for such property during the continuance of the life estate therein, the court of probate having jurisdiction of such will may order the executor to deliver such personal property to the person having the life estate upon his giving a probate bond. It shall be the duty of the person having the life estate thereupon to safely and properly keep such property to be delivered to the person entitled to receive it on the determination of the life estate therein.
If such person fails to give bond as provided in this section, the court shall appoint a trustee for such property during the continuance of such life estate who shall give a probate bond. The annual expense of such trust shall be chargeable upon the annual income of such property.
