It is the duty of all executors, administrators and guardians of infants (as well as all trustees) to keep proper books of account and to be ready at all times to account for the trust property which they are bound to administer. But it is doubtful whether an infant can be required to account. (Hull & Cullity, Macdonell, Sheard and Hull on Probate Practice, 3rd ed., 1981, p. 364)
