AI Summary

Death of director formalities require board resolution, regulatory filing, appointment to casual vacancy and bank signatory updates. Hold a board meeting to record the director's death, declare and fill any casual vacancy by board resolution, and authorize required filings with the corporate registry. Subsequently update statutory records and external arrangements by notifying banks to change signatories, informing other service providers or departments, and advising the deceased's family or estate on share transfer procedures; newspaper publication is generally unnecessary for private company administrative compliance.
