Whenua tōpū trusts, again a land management trust, which provide for iwi or hapū based
trusts designed to facilitate the use and administration of the land on behalf of a wider class
of owner, normally a whānau, hapū or iwi grouping.
Support was given for the formation of a whānau trust. An application to constitute a whānau trust was filed in 2004 and eventually heard in February of 2005.
Given
the varied circumstances in which special aid may be granted, we do not consider
that an inflexible rule, or set of criteria, should be applied. Rather, a grant of
special aid is a relevant factor to be taken into account on a case-by-case basis.

death certificate, any grant of administration (grant of
probate2 or letters of administration3) or the original will,
minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānau trust is required,
and consents of the proposed trustees.
