In some cases there
are hundreds of owners for one block or
title 1. When an owner dies, it is important
to transfer his or her interests to whoever
is entitled to receive those interests.
The Act recognises that blocks of Māori land are generally
owned by people connected to each other and to the land
through kin groups, such as iwi7 and hapū8.
The benefits of an ahu whenua trust include:
a greater opportunity to use the land
trustees can be appointed to administer and manage the block
owners can participate in meetings and decisions about the direction of the trust
the trust becomes the single point of contact for the block, and
the trust is a legal entity and trustees can set up a bank account to hold any funds for the beneficiaries.
