APPLICATION TO CONSTITUTE A WHĀNAU TRUST
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993
Section 214
Form 36
Rule 12.3
WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
I have experienced those difficulties notwithstanding the fact that I was a practising lawyer and familiar with the workings of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act. The difficulty in forming a whānau trust multiplies with each generation that passes.
He nui te hunga ka uru mai ki tēnei kaupapa i te matenga o tētahi o te whānau, ā, ka tukuna ō rātou pānga whenua, ngā hea rānei o tētahi kaporeihana whenua ki te whānau.
Trustees are appointed by the Māori Land Court under the jurisdiction set out in s 222 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. In making appointments two crucial criteria must be considered.
