1. The association’s capital structure is sufficiently strong to support such additional undertaking;
2. The personnel who will direct the proposed trust department have adequate experience and training, and will devote sufficient time to its affairs to ensure compliance with the law and to protect the association against surcharge;
3. The granting of trust powers to the association will be in the public interest; and
4. The association has available legal counsel to advise and pass upon fiduciary matters wherever necessary.
