Shares held by any person in any representative or fiduciary capacity may be voted by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. Where shares are held jointly by any number of fiduciaries, and the instrument or order appointing such fiduciaries does not otherwise direct, such shares shall be voted as the majority of such fiduciaries shall determine. If the fiduciaries are equally divided as to how the shares shall be voted, any court having jurisdiction may, in an action brought by any of such fiduciaries or by any beneficiary, appoint an additional person to act with such fiduciaries in such matter, and the stock shall be voted by the majority of such fiduciaries and such additional person.
The court may proceed in the action in a summary manner or otherwise.
