The minimum number of trustees for a
reservation is two people (unless the trustee
is a body corporate 7, such as a Māori trust
board or a Māori incorporation).
A trustee does not have to be an owner
in the land.
This may arise out of beneficial interests in a trust or incorporation, current commercial
or business activities, financial investments (including shareholding in public or private
companies), or membership or involvement with educational, charitable or other
community organisations that may be interested in the litigation.
The tipuna may still be named but the
beneficiaries must be clearly defined as excluding any family
member who had declined to contribute shares to the trust.
It’s important the beneficiaries of the land interests be
determined first in case the whānau trust is ever terminated.
