i. The name(s) of the author(s)/settlor(s) of the trust; ii. The name(s) of the trustee(s); iii. The name(s) if any, of the beneficiary/ies or whether it shall be the public at large; iv. The name by which the trust shall be known; v. The name where its principal and/or other offices shall be situate; vi.
