to time by Māori land trusts have been carried over to the new
Trusts Act:
• Trustees may apply to the Māori Land Court for directions
about the trust property or the use of their powers or
functions.1
• The Māori Land Court may relieve a trustee from personal
liability if they have acted honestly and reasonably and
ought to be excused for a breach.2
