Change of Trustee
Docscentre can prepare a deed of amendment to change the trustee of an existing trust. This may be to appoint, remove/retire or replace a Trustee. This amendment will be prepared by their in-house legal team in accordance with the terms of the deed (so it is requested that you provide an executed copy of the original deed via email along with the order form).
Docscentre offers this service using our standard PDF forms. Please complete, scan and email the form and copy of the deed to their office.
The Docscentre in house legal team will prepare a deed of Removal/Retirement and/or Appointment of Trustee, which is a supplementary deed to be kept with the original trust deed. The deed and supporting documents will be prepared in accordance with the rules as set out in the original trust deed.
If a New company will be appointed as trustee, you’ll need to order that online first.
The Change of Trustee documentation will be prepared in accordance with the rules as set out in the original trust deed, so will therefore vary for different deeds, but will usually include:
- Deed of Removal/Retirement and/or Appointment of Trustee
- Resolutions of the Retiring and new Trustee (if a company)
- Resolutions of the Appointors or Unit holders
- Explanatory letter
You will receive electronic and hard copies of the documents.
