Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.
Once again, some of the larger, more sophisticated trusts have included in their trust orders reference to the specific newspapers that are to be used for notice purposes and the frequency with which the notice must run as well as reference to iwi radio and tribal newspapers for example.
This is the case for the largest
and most successful trusts and incorporations, such as the Tuaropaki Trust and
Mangatu Incorporation, right down to the smallest papakainga trusts.
• Other: There are examples where a minute book
has been created for a specific activity,
application, hearings or other reason which
requires evidence to be recorded.
However, the trustees must have the power to grant
licences to occupy in their trust order. The trust order may
also limit who may apply and impose any conditions.

What to file with your application
You should file documents in support of your case. 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.
