The Māori Land Court automatically sends a copy of all orders affecting ownership to the Māori Trustee to keep land records up to date. Because the Māori Trustee also distributes money from Māori land, it is important that addresses are provided for all successors.
Agencies such as the Māori Land Court, the Māori Trustee, Collections, and the Electoral Enrolment Centre all have separate databases with addresses of Māori land owners.
The trustee becomes the legal owner when the order appointing him/her as trustee for the land is registered against the title.
