The Māori Land Court bench have released a practice note for lending money on whenua Māori. Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
Records may be separated by type of trust, and in some cases the records of particular types of trusts may be on the personal/personalty files.

Conclusion The role of trustees is onerous and frequently thankless. Trustees may be held personally liable, jointly and severally, for any losses a trust may sustain and for other breaches of trust.
All of which was, I might say, a not uncommon scenario in the Māori Land Court. The Formation of the Trust The next step I took was to outline this information to whānau members at a hui held on Labour weekend 2003.
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 whānau trust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.
Use this form to add, reduce, replace or (in exceptional circumstances) remove trustees of a Whānau Trust, Kaitiaki Trust, Ahu Whenua Trust, Whenua Tōpū Trust, Pūtea Trust or Māori Reservation.
