land interests would then go directly back
to those beneficiaries of the estate who
contributed shares to the whānautrust.
‘Māori Land Trusts’ includes a section on
whānautrusts.
For
example, for an application for succession, you’ll need a
death certificate, any grant of administration (grant of
probate2 or letters of administration3) or the original will,
minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānautrust is required,
and consents of the proposed trustees.
It is also called a trust order.
A trust order sets out the general purpose of the trust and
well as the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and
limitations of the trustees.
Records include:
o Appointment of trustees
o Applications for new trusts, replacement trusts, variations to trusts and supporting
information
o Vesting orders
o Copies of court minutes
o Court orders
oTrust reports and accounts
oTrust correspondence with the Court
