‘Simple’ succession applications have no complicating
factors. Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’
succession includes:
• all the people to succeed are the natural children of the
person who has passed away, and they will all receive
equal shares in the interests; or
• further land interests or shares owned by a person who
has passed away are identified and can be succeeded
to by the same people in the same way as the earlier
interests.
However, the trustees can decline such an information
request in some cases (for example, if the information is subject to
personal or commercial confidentiality).

We have trusts and incorporations worth in excess of $100 million. For example: Tuaropaki - $667million, Lake Taupo Forest - $165million, PKW Incorporation - $162million, The Proprietors of Atihau-Whanganui - $178million, to name but a few.
Changes also strengthen the protections for Māori land. For example, when whenua is
changed from Māori customary land to Māori freehold land, the interests of the owners
will not be individualised.
Alienation is when landowners grant certain rights of their land to another
person. For example, selling land gives the new owner the ownership rights; leasing
land gives the lessee a limited right to occupy land in return for payment of rent
(and other conditions); mortgaging land gives the mortgagee the right to sell the
land if the mortgage is not repaid (refer to section 4 of Te Ture Whenua Māori
Act 1993).
Understanding of the problems encountered by whānau in managing their whenua, for example,
issues arising in trusts, incorporations, marae structures and Māori reservations issues.
