Other than in unusual circumstances, it would not be prudent for the Trustees to make a loan
to a Beneficial Owner on terms that included no interest being paid, a long term of repayment
and no security against repayment, because a loan of that type could:

b. subject the Trust capital to undue risk; and
c. compromise the interests of other Beneficial Owners.

In many cases the only option for owners to resolve disputes
over their land is through the Court. This means issues of a
personal and sensitive nature to whānau may be discussed
in a public court hearing.
Wāwāhanga ā-hapū (utu tāpae $228)
Hapū partition (filing fee $228)
A hapū partition divides the whenua and distributes the new land blocks among the existing owners. This also means the land can’t be gifted or sold outside of the existing owners.
