A Deed of Appointment, also known as a Deed of Appointment of Trustees, is a legal document that outlines the appointment of new trustees to a trust. This document can be used in various situations, including the appointment of new trustees to replace existing ones or to appoint additional trustees to a trust. In estate planning, a Deed of Appointment may be used to ensure that a trust is managed by the right people and that the wishes of the person who established the trust are carried out.

This may include details such as the names and addresses of the existing and new trustees, the powers and responsibilities of the trustees, the provisions for removing a trustee, and any other specific instructions or requirements set out by the person who established the trust.
