(1) Trustees, executors, and administrators may sue and be sued on behalf of or as representing the property or estate of which they are trustees or representatives, without joining any of the persons beneficially interested in the trust or estate, and shall be considered as representing such persons; but the Court or a Judge in chambers may at any stage of the proceedings, order any such persons to be made parties either in addition to or in lieu of the previously existing parties.
