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.
This will show you: who the trustees are and when they were appointed when the land trust was formed any historical activities of the trust the trust order or deed.
Absolute interests are not subject to any other restrictions or orders (not in a trust, not a remainder interest or a life interest).
However, the title of ownership remains with the trust or management body and the licence can’t be passed on by succession.
For example, for an application for succession, you’ll need a death certificate, any grant of administration (grant of probate2 or letters of administration3) or the original will, minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānau trust is required, and consents of the proposed trustees.

Some trusts and incorporations also provide financial assistance through grants and scholarships.
With the focus of the recent review on increased productivity of land, let’s not forget the many trusts and incorporations that already do a great job and are success stories that have been celebrated this weekend.
