Addition of trustees

abhishekjain (Querist) 12 June 2015 This query is : Resolved
A charitable trust was incorporated in 1960 in Old Delhi. The trust purchased a building and sub let the same on rentals.

The trust had 6 founder trustees all of whom have since been deceased/expired. Two trustees were added in sue course in year 1980 and are still alive.

As per the trust deed there should be at least 5 trustees in the trust.

Q1. How can the new trustees be added to the trust.
Q2. One of the deceased (founder trustee) who passed away this year has written in his will to include two persons as trustees.

Please advise.

The trust is not registered.

5 founder trustees were alive in 1980
Son of deceased was added along with son of another trustee who resigned.
These two are still alive.
