An ahu whenua trust:
holds the trustees legally responsible for the management of the land, and
uses a MāoriLandCourt-approved trust order, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees and beneficial owners.
FEE: $228.00
NOTE: Information provided in all applications forms part of the Court’s permanent record under rule 7.19 of the MāoriLandCourt Rules 2011.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The MaoriLandCourt will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
