Trust created by testamentary will

ajay kumar sarawogi (Querist) 29 September 2013 This query is : Resolved
In a trust created by testamentary WILL
the settelor declares that all his heirs
shall become trustees and upon the death of these trustees their heirs will become trustees and so on for ever as the case may
be.
One of the trustee has no male issue
and had only one daughter which was married at the time of death of his father (trustee).

My question is that aforesaid daughter can claim for trusteeship in place of her dead
father, when she is married and now belongs
to a different family altogether.

If your answer is N O , than please quote
any case law in support of your answer.
