Use of vesting orders
Except when Māori land 2 is vested 3 in a
Māori incorporation 4, Māori land shares can
only be transferred by a vesting order 5 made
by the Māori Land Court.
Māori incorporations are designed to
manage whole blocks of land and are
the most commercial of all Māori land
management structures. Whānau, pūtea 2,
and kaitiaki 3 trusts can operate under the
umbrella of a Māori incorporation.
