Why File a Change of Trustees with CAC?

In a Nigerian Incorporated Trustee, trustees are the individuals formally appointed to hold and manage the organization’s assets, oversee its operations, and ensure it fulfills its stated objectives. They are the legally recognized governing body of the organization, and their names are publicly recorded on the CAC registry as the custodians of the organization’s mandate.

Filing a Change of Trustees is necessary whenever the leadership of the organization shifts. Whether trustees have resigned, passed away, or new trustees are being appointed, it is a legal requirement to notify the CAC.

  • Statutory Requirement: Incorporated Trustees are required to notify the CAC of any change in their trustee composition. The process involves newspaper publications and High Court or notarized declarations, all of which SplashDict manages on your behalf.

  • Maintain Accurate Public Records: Banks, donor agencies, government bodies, and grant-making organizations rely on the CAC registry to confirm the legitimate trustees of an Incorporated Trustee. Keeping these records current is essential for maintaining access to funding, executing contracts, and passing KYC checks.

  • Legal Title to Assets: Since assets are held in the name of the “Incorporated Trustees,” only currently registered trustees can legally sign property documents or execute deeds on behalf of the organization.
