Tarati pūtea (utu tāpae $68)
Pūtea trust (filing fee $68)
A pūtea trust allows people who own small interests in Māori land to pool their interests together for the benefit of their wider whānau and descendants.
This means that wills do not apply, and all legal children are entitled to succeed, equally. The applications are free.
