Settlor Interest Trust - What needs to accompany the AP1 and Deed of Appointment and Retirement?

We have a McClures Trust matter. We are acting for a client who needs to update the proprietorship register at the Land Registry. There is a Deed of Appointment and Retirement completed, but the original settlor has died and is not a party to the Deed. What needs to accompany the AP1 and Deed of Appointment and Retirement in the application to update the register. I.e. do we need a TR1 as the settlor won’t be able to sign it, and we don’t particularly want to have to write to the retiring trustees from McClures again.
