Māori incorporations
Whenua owned by several people can be administered through a Māori incorporation, which becomes the legal owner of the land and assets vested in it.
Any person appearing in the Māori Land Court, or in any court in New Zealand, can speak or file written documents in te reo Māori as a right under the Māori Language Act 2016. To support the use of te reo Māori in court, Judge Alana Thomas has created a kuputaka of legal terms in te reo Māori.
Other pieces of legislation a trust and trustees may have to follow include:
Privacy Act
Resource Management Act
Health and Safety at Work Act
Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988 Trustee training
We offer regular and free training in person and online to help trustees better understand their duties, legal obligations, and how to run trusts successfully.

For many years Māori women were unrepresented in the professions, including the legal profession, and it has not been until the last couple of decades that Māori women lawyers have been appointed to the bench.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
