There is no reason why a trustee cannot be added to the title. A trustee is a legal owner. Imagine grandparent dies and leaves property to minor grandchild with parents of grandchild as the executors and trustees. (Not an unusual scenario) Who is going to go on the title? It will be the trustees, they are the legal owners.
As far as the original question is concerned about what should be done, I don’t think there is necessarily a right or wrong approach. However I would suggest to do something to try to prevent the Form A being unwittingly breached in a future sale of the property , which we have seen on numerous occasions; is going to be better than doing nothing.
