In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land. What has changed? Historically, disputes over Māori land often had to be resolved
through public court sittings before a judge.
In July 2019, the Government passed the Trusts Act 2019
(replacing the Trustee Act 1956). This new Act sets out
the core principles and default rules for trusts, including
trusts created under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. The aim is to make the law easier to understand.
