SUCCESSION TO SHARES
Shares in a Māori incorporation are deemed to be shares in
Māori land, and succession is arranged in the same way as for
Māori land.
It is not surprising to me that the skills and capabilities of those in governance are the key to successful enterprise on Māori land. Increasing the skills and capabilities of those in governance, or improving their access to others who do have the requisite skills and capabilities, is the key challenge to improving the utilisation of Māori land.
For
example, for an application for succession, you’ll need a
death certificate, any grant of administration (grant of
probate2 or letters of administration3) or the original will,
minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānau trust is required,
and consents of the proposed trustees.
