Trustee responsibilities can include: researching options for the whenua on behalf of owners attending regular trustee meetings to discuss and debate plans for the trust communicating with owners and organising hui for owners or trustees to discuss plans for the whenua visiting the whenua regularly to check on the wellbeing of the land, and working with people involved in the whenua or trust, such as a lessee, accountant, or management team.
This trust will hold the land for the beneficial owners, hapū, iwi, or Whenua Tōpū trust.
Māori landowners can use, develop, and manage their land and ensure benefits for all owners. An ahu whenua trust: holds the trustees legally responsible for the management of the land, and uses a Māori Land Court-approved trust order, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees and beneficial owners.
Currently, the land is held in trust until the owners can receive the land.
Former land owners become shareholders in the Incorporation rather than owners in the land.
