I stress that a whānau trust is designed to manage specified shares in Māori land, it facilitates the bringing together of interests for the benefit of descendants and most importantly is a valuable tool to prevent ongoing fragmentation or, more correctly, fractionalisation of shares.
One title would represent the totality of the shares currently held by the Seymour whanau (32.21252 shares) to be vested in (Phillip Douglas Seymour, Pauline Ruth McKay, Selwyn Gerald Martin Seymour, Edward James Seymour, and Caroline Ngawaiata Rowena Power) as to their respective shares, with the other title vested in the owners, being the whanāu of Tame Horomona Rehe.
Each question includes space for additional comments, please feel free to share anything you think we need to know.
We will produce a report on the findings of this survey and share this on our website.
