Dear Sirs
The Trust is constituted of seven trustees, three of whom are family members. There have been financial irregularities involving these three family members, including their failure to regularly attend board meetings. Currently, the four active trustees, who form the quorum, are considering amendments to the trust deed to address certain anomalies. However, the three reluctant trustees are not willing to attend the meetings or the registration process, nor are they likely to give a Power of Attorney. The agenda has been sent to them via registered AD, but they have not responded positively.
Given this situation, how can the remaining trustees proceed with the amendments? Can the four active trustees register the amendments without the presence or consent of the three reluctant trustees?
