TERMS OF TRUST ORDER
1. TRUST NAME, TIPUNA AND BENEFICIARIES
Trust Name
1.1 The trust created by this Court order shall be known as [INSERT TRUST NAME] ("the
Trust").
Of the approximately 2.3 million ownership interests in Māori land, anecdotal evidence indicates that about half of these interests are held by deceased persons; many land interests are owned by the same person under multiple names; and many owners live far from their land and, in some cases, do not know they are owners of Māori land at all.
Te Puna Manawa Whenua outlines what they may need to know, understand, and do when hearing applications in the Māori Land Court. The name Te Puna Manawa Whenua can be translated to mean ‘the spring from deep underground.’
The court order
The court order is the document that confirms the legal change made to the ownership and/or status of the whenua. The court order also informs the information we provide to Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to ensure the changes in legal ownership are updated in their database.
