Acquaintance
As a trustee you need to know:
what is being administered by the trust (any land or other assets of the trust)
the terms of trust (your powers and responsibilities under the trust order)
all the issues affecting the trust.
It is also called a trust order.
A trust order sets out the general purpose of the trust and
well as the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and
limitations of the trustees.
Use this form to create an Ahu Whenua Trust (a land trust) by vesting one or more land blocks in trustees to
manage, as set out in a trust deed/order on behalf of the beneficial owner(s).
