Dear Jim

In principle, yes it is, provided that it is permitted to do so under its memorandum and articles of association. It will probably be appropriate for the company to pass a resolution in general meeting to ratify the appointment.

I believe that there is a prohibition against a company acting as sole trustee of a trust unless it is a trust corporation. There may be others on this forum who know more about this subject than I.

Thank you John

The company will not be the sole Trustee.

Your help is much appreciated

Regards
