A whenua tōpū trust:
can include one or more Māori land blocks, or general land owned by Māori
can include a wide range of beneficiaries, for example, a community, hapū or iwi in a specific area
makes the land trustees legally responsible for managing the land
has a Court-approved trust order that sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees
requires that any funds received by the trust be used for Māori community purposes, and
doesn’t require any succession to the curr...
Another point that the Court may consider in the context of experience is a nominee’s former or current role as a trustee and the extent to which that has been successful or otherwise. Where a trustee has been involved in difficult situations on other trusts, whether or not a satisfactory explanation has been provided may also be a necessary point to review.
Use this form to create a Whānau Trust by vesting some or all of your interests in trustees to hold on behalf of the
descendants of a given person or tupuna (the beneficiaries)
If you are creating a Whānau Trust as part of a succession application please complete form 23.
