Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters

• forming a whānautrust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānautrust.

of the whānautrust that holds a beneficial interest in the
land.
