Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• 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.
Occupation orders can
now be granted not only to the landowner or any person
entitled to succeed to their interest, but also to beneficiaries
of the whānautrust that holds a beneficial interest in the
land.
This is the case for the largest
and most successful trusts and incorporations, such as the Tuaropaki Trust and
Mangatu Incorporation, right down to the smallest papakainga trusts.
It is also called a trust order.
A trust order sets out the general purpose of the trust and
well as the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and
limitations of the trustees.
Within te ao Māori, rangatiratanga can embody the authority of a rangatira (a Chief) but importantly also
that of the people, being the whānau (family), hapū (sub-tribe) and iwi (tribe).
Whenua tōpū trusts, again a land management trust, which provide for iwi or hapū based
trusts designed to facilitate the use and administration of the land on behalf of a wider class
of owner, normally a whānau, hapū or iwi grouping.
You must own an interest in the land or be the beneficiary of a whānautrust that owns an interest in the land.
The title of ownership remains with the landowners, but the occupation order may be passed on by succession.
