Tarati kaitiaki (utu tāpae $23)
Kaitiakitrust (filing fee $23)
A kaitiakitrust is established to hold land interests for a person who:
is a minor (under the age of 20)
is serving time in prison, or
is unable to manage their own affairs due to age or mental/physical disability.
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 kaitiakitrust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.
