1. ““As the trust deed divested the said Norton of his title to the property conveyed, the proceeds derived from the sale thereof by the trustee constitute no part of the decedent's estate, and the plaintiff, as administrator, in no event is entitled to have the same, or any part thereof, turned over to him. The cestuis que trustent are the only parties who are entitled to the same, and, since the death of the said Norton, are the only parties who, under the facts alleged in the complaint, can be injured by a failure to dispose of said proceeds in accordance with the terms of the trust' deed. The trustee is under obligations to> no one except the beneficiaries of the trust, and, if he has failed to execute his trust, those alone who are injured by its nonperformance have a right to maintain an action for its enforcement.” (Italics ours.)”
