Download the application form Transferring shares in an incorporation
If you want to sell or gift your shares in an incorporation and no member of the PCA is able to take or buy the shares, the incorporation may do so instead.
However, they are entitled to receive any income from that land interest, including income from incorporation shares or rights to any grants, for their lifetime.
Fifth The project has also highlighted the need for the Māori Land Court to be more proactive in its identification and review of defunct trusts and incorporations due to circumstances such as the death of key trustee or management committee members.
Having made contact with the trustees of various ahu whenua trusts and the administrators of incorporations we now regularly receive correspondence from those entities.
