A whenua tōpū trust can also hold non-land assets, such as houses, vehicles, or general land interests.
Any final terms of trust are subject to confirmation by the Māori Land Court in accordance with sections 214 or 244 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. 5.
As for incorporations, the Act provides that every Māori incorporation holds the land and assets “on trust” for the incorporated owners in proportion to their several interests in the land (s 250(4)).
