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.
Judge Milner is well-versed in the work of both the Māori Land Court and Waitangi Tribunal through his extensive work representing land owners and claimant groups in both jurisdictions, alongside his work in Treaty settlement negotiations and experience in resource management, intellectual property and Marine and Coastal Area cases.
We can help you to set up trusts and incorporations to manage your whenua or hold land interests on behalf of your whānau.
Why make this change? Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members of different whānau (with different views on whāngai succession).
