Introduction While hearing succession applications I often find myself suggesting to those appearing in front of me to consider forming a whānau trust.
Use this form to add, reduce, replace or (in exceptional circumstances) remove trustees of a Whānau Trust, Kaitiaki Trust,
Ahu Whenua Trust, Whenua Tōpū Trust, Pūtea Trust or Māori Reservation.
There is significant variation in how district registry offices maintained trust files with some
filing applications regarding trusts in separate sequences.
