To support this initiative, the Court has established a dedicated monthly hearing for Fast-Track applications. The process has been designed to help whānau complete trustee changes more quickly, reduce waiting times, and provide a clearer and more efficient pathway through the application process.
To support you through the application process, four plain-language application guides have been developed: How to apply for succession How to apply for Partition of Māori freehold land How to constitute a whānau trust How to constitute an ahu whenua trust or whenua tōpū trust These new guides are designed to help you identify the right application to make, understand where to begin, and prepare all the information needed before applying.
