When the life tenant dies,
their right to life interest finishes. Many
life interests state that the life interest will
terminate if the life tenant remarries.
Just to follow on from what I was saying in Maori it really is a great honour and a privilege to be sworn in as a Judge of this honourable Court, alongside such an esteemed bench, in such a revered whare, and in front of so many honourable tohunga, kaumatua, kuia, rangatira, political leaders, senior Counsel, whānaunga and friends.
What was really interesting was to hear comments from cousins of mine, many of them older than me, who had heard similar stories during their lifetime but who had never, for whatever reason, been able to verify the fact that we still had some Māori land interests.
Introduction Trustees perform a vital role in the administration and management of Māori land. They have many important responsibilities to fulfil and must balance the expectations of the beneficiaries with their duties as prudent trustees.
Procedure for the Court hearing
