Incorporation
Unlike trusts, a Māori incorporation is structured like a company and is governed by the Māori Incorporations Constitutions Regulations 1994 .
This is the case for the largest
and most successful trusts and incorporations, such as the Tuaropaki Trust and
Mangatu Incorporation, right down to the smallest papakainga trusts.
In these cases, the family or personal representative needs to
approach the incorporation secretary directly.
Entitlement to succession
Before 1 July 1993, Māori incorporation shares were dealt with
in the same way as other personal property (like cars and
cash).
