In the case of a charitable trust, if a trustee has passed away and a new trustee is nominated as per the trust deed's provisions, typically, no amendment to the deed is required if the process for nomination is already outlined in the trust deed. However, it is advisable to formally record the appointment of the new trustee with the appropriate authorities, such as the Charity Commissioner or the Registrar, to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
