be used and held for the benefit of the Trust and not for the personal benefit of the

matter, and if trustees are found to be at fault, they can
expect to pay for any losses that they have caused.

You must ensure that the funds received for the trust are applied for the benefit of the shareholders or beneficiaries of that trust.
The income usually goes to pay those concerned with the management of the land with the balance being used to awhi marae or to provide education grants and kaumatua grants.
The order will be written up in the Court title records if it
affects land, and sent to every person who has to act on it,
for example, to the Māori trustee if they’ve been ordered to
pay money they’re holding, or a Māori incorporation5 if the
order affects shares in that incorporation.

The MLC is able to remove trustees if it is satisfied that the
trustee has lost the capacity to act as a trustee or that their
removal supports the proper function of the trust.
