HOW TO FILE AND COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION FORM
There is no fee for this type of application.
You must provide all information required on
the form before filing it with a Māori Land Court
office.
In some cases a trust order or regulation will allow a trustee to receive reasonable reimbursement for expenses they incur in their role as a trustee – they may also provide that a meeting fee or honoraria be paid. Any meeting fees or honoraria need to be approved by us so we can ensure that you have the broad support of your beneficiaries or shareholders, and that the business of the trust can afford to make such payments.
The completed application, with the meeting’s
minutes and the application fee, should be sent to the MLC.
COURT ORDER
The MLC will conduct a hearing about the application.
