Here an individual can form the trust and appoint trustees and the shareholding, which maybe across many blocks, is held for the uri of that individual down through the generations.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An applicationform based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.

WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?
This applicationform has been modified specifically for use in determining the successors for South Island Landless

This means that wills do not apply, and all legal children are entitled to succeed, equally. The applications are free.
