Māori trustee
The Māori trustee administers many Māori land blocks and
distributes money to the owners. The MLC automatically
sends a copy of all orders affecting ownership to the Māori
trustee to keep land records up to date.
Some Māori land titles have a majority of owners who cannot or will not succeed to
their ownership interest despite attempts to encourage them to succeed.
This factsheet deals only with the transfer of shares held in
land that has multiple ownership (that is, undivided shares).
For information about granting confirmation of an instrument
of alienation1 or about transfers of whole blocks of Māori
land, please contact an MLC office.

Secondly, their refinements to this structure, after many meetings, has created a model which better represents the grassroots “ownership” of the block. 1) The standard structure is the same:
The ahu whenua trustees are the legal “owners” of the block in dealings with third parties and must ensure compliance with the district plan, payment of local body rates etc and are responsible for the block’s services, access etc.

So it was not uncommon on this project to have a block with an appellation such as this: Waerenga East No 2 B, Waerenga East No 1, Section 7 block 5 Rotoiti Survey District, Maungaroa Kaharoa No 12 block (Amalgamated) Lot C.
