Individually, none of these documents is of particular significance. However, they give some idea of the range of material that could be found for any parish. Most provide some information about individual people that might be hard to find elsewhere.

Trust Disposition & Settlement by James Millar Hynd, 1953
[Yanicks's booklet provides details of the Hynd family in Inverkeilor. George Leighton Hynd (1875-1952), called "Joe", his brother James Millar Hynd (1879-1953), called "Sheepie", and their younger brother John are said to have spent their lives squabbling. From the document reproduced here, James was clearly unhappy about how George had settled his estate.]
I, JAMES MILLAR HYND, Sheep and Cattle Dealer, residing at Number Thirty two Fergus Square, Arbroath being desirous of settling the succession to my means and estate after my death DO HEREBY assign, dispone, convey and make over the whole means and estate, heritable and moveable, real and personal, which shall belong to me or over which I may have the power of disposal or appointment at my death, including particularly the means and estate, both heritable and moveable which belonged to my brother, the late George Leighton Hynd, Farmer, Boysack Mill and Raesmill, by Arbroath which was conveyed to Trustees in his pretended Settlement, dated tenth December Nineteen hundred and fifty two and concerning which Settlement I am raising an Action of Reduction in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, to Wilfred Ewing Forrester, Solicitor, Arbroath, and to any other person or persons whom I may hereafter appoint or who may be assumed into the trust hereby created and to the acceptor or acceptors, survivors and survivor of them as trustees and trustee for the purposes aftermentioned; And I appoint my trustees to be my executors; But these presents are granted only in Trust for the following purposes, namely: (FIRST) For payment of all my just and lawful debts, deathbed and funeral expenses and the expenses of administering my estate; (SECOND) For payment or implement, free of all government duties and expenses, of any legacies or bequests which I may leave or bequeath by any writing under my hand, however informal, if clearly expressive of my will and intention; (THIRD) My Trustees shall pay the following legacies free of all government duties and expenses without interest from the date of my death but as soon thereafter as my Trustees may find it convenient to do so having regard to the nature and extent of my estate, namely: (One) to Mrs Evans residing at Number Thirty two Fergus Square, Arbroath, the sum of One thousand Pounds sterling; (Two) to Angus Bean, Slaughter House Attendant, North Grimsby, Arbroath, the sum of Two hundred Pounds sterling; (Three) to David Buick[,?] Shepherd, residing at Chapelton, by Arbroath, the sum of Two hundred pounds sterling; and (Four) to James Buick, Shepherd, residing at Chapelton, by Arbroath, the sum of Two hundred Pounds sterling; (FOURTH) I direct my trustees as soon as possible after my death to realise and convert into cash the whole residue and remainder of my said means and estate and to convey and make over one half thereof to and in favour of the Minister, Session Clerk and Treasurer of the Parish Church of Inverkeilor and their successors in office as perpetual trustees ex officiis for the purposes hereinafter set forth the same to be held in trust by them subject to the following conditions, namely: (One) the trust shall be referred to as the "James and Agnes Hynd Bequest" in memory of myself and my late sister Agnes Blair Hynd, (Two) the said Minister, Session Clerk and Treasurer shall apply the free annual income to be derived from said one-half share of residue for the benefit of poor and deserving persons in the Parish of Inverkeilor at the discretion of the said Minister, Session Clerk and Treasurer for the time being; (Three) the said Minister, Session Clerk and Treasurer as aforesaid shall have power to make regulations for the proper management and administration of the Bequest subject to the foregoing purposes, and (FIFTH) I direct my trustees to convey and make over the said remaining one-half of the said residue of my means and estate to the Trustees for the time being for the Parish Church of Inverkeilor to be utilised by them for the benefit of the said Church and Congregation as they may in their own uncontrolled discretion think fit; And I declare that my trustees shall have power to appoint any one of their own number to be law agent in the trust and to allow him the usual professional remuneration to which he would have been entitled if he had not been a trustee; And I revoke all former testamentary writings made by me; And I consent to registration hereof for preservation: IN WITNESS WHEREOF these presents typewritten on this and the preceding page are subscribed by me at Arbroath on the Second day of March Nineteen hundred and fifty three before these witnesses Flora Deuchar Young Gauldie, and Maureen Mary Green both typists to R.S. Smith and Company, Solicitors, One hundred and seven High Street, Arbroath.
