This strikes me as another vulnerability: if we had, say 3 trustees in
India and 2 in Australia, we're vulnerable to the entire trust being
invalid as soon as one of the trustees in India decides they don't want
to play anymore, if I understand what you're saying.

I realise that this might just be the legal fact of the matter and we
have to deal with it, but I am still remembering the hiccups of
2000/2001 and would be personally very keen to avoid relying on any
individual to remain contactable or friendly, or to give us warning when
they aren't going to be so any more if it is possible, legally.
