Holding
The court held that the trial court had incorrectly placed the burden of proof on the beneficiary to disprove a trustee's account, reversed the judgment for a new trial, and established that a trustee who fails to keep proper records bears the burden of proving the correctness of their accounts, with all presumptions operating against them in the event of a deficiency.
