With shares held by individuals becoming increasingly fractionated but shares held in whānau trusts being relatively stable, I foresee a time when these whānau trusts will be major shareholders in trusts and incorporations.
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.
