While the individual members of the “board of managers” of the educational center established by the donor have a proprietary right and interest in the their control over the donated funds, and so were indispensible parties to the litigation over the funds, it was not necessary to serve them with citations because they were petitioners in the initial action that was filed in the civil division and transferred to the Orphans’ Court, and had already consented to the jurisdiction of the court. The Orphans’ Court erred when it held that the deed of gift by donor to the university did not create a trust because the university was named as both the trustee and sole beneficiary, and that the legal and equitable interests were merged, because the deed of gift was intended to create a charitable trust, for which a designated beneficiary is not required. Because there was a dispute on whether the donor had ever signed the deed of gift, and a writing signed by the settlor is required to create a trust, the order granting judgment on the pleadings was vacated and remanded for further proceedings.
