Aligning trust procedures to changes in the Act You should update your procedures as necessary to reflect the changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. For example, you will need to be able to record that a surviving spouse is entitled to income from a land interest that they do not own, and that some owners are not entitled to the income from their land interest.
