Religious trust property

I am looking for a private religious trust property expert for promoting 



Quick Summary
This discussion explores the complexities of religious trust property, particularly concerning the allocation of areas among family members. The original trust deed from 1930/1938 specifies only male heirs can become trustees. A key question is whether the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, specifically Section 6(1), applies to such religious trust properties in Kolkata and Eastern India, especially when the property is registered in the trust's name. Advice is sought on amending the trust deed and finding specialist legal counsel.

Thanks for respond, I would like to know if such religious trust property goes to promote , the share of area which trust receive, how that area is to be allocated among the family members? Our trust deed (1930& 1938) says only male heirs in family line will become the trustee . Now in the light of 2005 's Hindu Succession Law the area under trust if registered in name of the trust itself , how can the allocation of living areas of family members will be organized?

The question of Hindu succession does not arise here. As per the trust deed, only the MALE heirs in the family line will become trustees. Or, the present trustees may amend the Original Trust Deed.
