Hi Sherelle, one would usually rely on NCPR 20(b), which allows a grant to be made to a residuary legatee or devisee who is holding the residue on trust. If the solicitors have disclaimed their trusteeship, then there is prima facie no residuary legatee or devisee holding on trust. If the instrument nominates someone to appoint new trustees, that person can appoint a new trustee. He can then apply. If no one is nominated, it seems you would need to apply to the court under s.41 TA 1925. I do see suggestions in another thread ( No Appointed Trustees of a Trust ) that the renunciation is invalid. They suggest that is because s.37(1)(c) applies TA 1925 applies. However, my view is that is not correct as that section applies to the discharge of a trustee, which I do not consider includes the disclaiming of a trusteeship as a person who disclaims has never become a trustee. If they have not disclaimed, the possibility of using s.19 TOLATA comes to mind. However, the beneficiaries can only use that power where they are of full age and capacity and together absolutely entitled to the trust, which will often be a problem in a discretionary trust. I am not sure what the situation is for an equitable dispositive power, rather than a true discretionary trust.
