The Act recognises that blocks of Māori land are generally owned by people connected to each other and to the land through kin groups, such as iwi 7 and hapū 8. In order to preserve the kin groups, the Act restricts the type of people to whom land can be sold or gifted.

The minimum number of trustees for a reservation is two people (unless the trustee is a body corporate 7, such as a Māori trust board or a Māori incorporation). A trustee does not have to be an owner in the land.
