In April 2025, Claire Stirling-Hawkins (Te
Whānau-ā-Apanui, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kauwhata,
Ngāti Raukawa ki Te Tonga, Ngāi Tahu me Kāti
Mamoe), supported by her whānau, friends, and
kaimahi from Te Rāwhiti, stepped into the Pae
Ārahi o Te Rito role, bringing her leadership
strengths and a shared purpose and vision for Te
Rito to the District.
At the end of the day we wanted our children bought up in New Zealand with access to whānau, friends and a kiwi lifestyle. When we came back from Singapore in 2006, my husband said “it’s your turn”.
For example, an
application for succession will require a
death certificate, any grant of administration
(probate 2 or letters of administration 3) or the
original will, minutes of a whānau meeting if
a whānautrust is required and consents of
the proposed trustees.
He tauira tēnei, ko te tono
mō ngā pānga whenua o te tangata mate,
me whai tiwhikete rēhitatanga o te matenga
o taua tangata rā, he tuku whakahaerenga
(tono whakamau wira 2, ngā reta tuku
whakahaere 3 rānei), te wira tuatahi rānei,
ngā kōrero mai i te hui ā-whānau mēnā kei
te whakatūria he rōpū Kaitiaki Whānau, arā
WhānauTrust me ngā whakaaetanga o ngā
tāngata ka whakaingoatia ki runga ki te trust.
Governance entities In the context in which I work, we have a range of governance entities, from trusts to incorporations, but no matter what the governance structure is - whether it is an ahu whenua trust, a whānautrust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.
A few things we can offer assistance with are:
General enquiries
Filing of applications
Successions
WhānauTrust
Ahu Whenua Trusts
Māori Reservations
Māori Incorporations
Partitions
Occupations
Trustee training on request
