Pātaka Whenua will be unavailable for an upcoming maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience.

The benefits of a hapū partition are:
no consent is needed under the Resource Management Act 1991 , and
there’s no requirement for land contributions for roads, reserves, or public use or access.
Whānau members entitled to succeed to the whenua include:
Any brothers or sisters
Their parents (who they received their whenua from) – if they have no brothers or sisters, or those brothers and sisters have no children.
That was an environment of predominantly Māori students, set timetables, specified study periods, limited or no access to technology (and by that I mean televisions) and no wāhine.
The Māori Land Court has no power to stop this from happening. In any case, you cannot use a Māori land block as security without the permission and/or support of all other landowners.
‘Simple’ trust applications have no complicating factors.
Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.
