In simple terms this means that the boundaries and areas of Māori land are now clearly marked, identified and registered as a certificate of title. The lists of owners have also been brought up to date and the status of Māori freehold land has been clearly identified as such on LINZ’s records.

The trustee becomes the legal owner when the order appointing them as trustee
for the land is registered against the title. The beneficiaries are called the beneficial
owners.
