To create a trust, you'll need to apply for a trust order. Once an order is granted by the Court, the trust continues until the landowners, beneficiaries, trustees, and the Court agree to end it.
A key feature of the proceedings was the duties of trustees under tikanga. The treatment of this approach allowed tikanga to speak in its own context and not to be exclusively defined by a western legal construct.
