Charitable Trusts Act 1957

Schedule 1: Memorandum of appointment of new trustees

You could also call this:

"How to record new people in charge of a trust's property"

Illustration for Charitable Trusts Act 1957

This document explains how to record the appointment of new trustees for a property. You need to provide details about the property, the meeting where the new trustees were chosen, and the names of the old and new trustees.

You should list all the trustees from when the trust was first set up or when trustees were last appointed. Then, you need to show who the trustees are now. This includes any trustees who are staying on (called "old continuing trustees") and the new trustees who have just been chosen.

The document must be signed and dated by the chairperson of the meeting where the new trustees were chosen. Two other people need to witness the chairperson's signature.
