Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters include: • forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or shares; or • terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person reaches 20 years of age; or • appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.

Occupation orders can now be granted not only to the landowner or any person entitled to succeed to their interest, but also to beneficiaries of the whānau trust that holds a beneficial interest in the land.
This is the case for the largest and most successful trusts and incorporations, such as the Tuaropaki Trust and Mangatu Incorporation, right down to the smallest papakainga trusts.
