The changes affect all trusts,
including Māori landtrusts created through the Māori Land Court
(such as ahu whenua, kaitiaki, and whānautrusts) and existing
trusts established before the law came into force.
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 whānautrust is required,
and consents of the proposed trustees.
Only in special circumstances will a Māori reservation be set aside for anyone other than the whānau, hapū, and iwi traditionally associated with that particular land.
(e) If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, then one will be appointed by a Judge
of the Māori Land Court in the district where the relevant land is located.
