• Whānautrust
This is a whānau-oriented trust. It allows the whānau to
bring together their Māori land interests for the benefit
of the whānau and their descendants
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.
People on this list have been determined to be entitled successors to the original
beneficiaries of the land. If you or your whānau are on this list, please update your
contact details with us to receive communications regarding the block.
Use this form to add, reduce, replace or (in exceptional circumstances) remove trustees of a WhānauTrust, Kaitiaki Trust,
Ahu Whenua Trust, Whenua Tōpū Trust, Pūtea Trust or Māori Reservation.
Since 1 July 1993, shares in a Māori incorporation are deemed
to be interests in Māori land and unless there’s an exemption,
they’re treated the same as Māori land interests.
Whānautrusts
A whānautrust can be set up at the time of succession.
The
land interests would then go directly back
to those beneficiaries of the estate who
contributed shares to the whānautrust.
‘Māori Land Trusts’ includes a section on
whānautrusts.
