TRANSFERRING SHARES TO TRUSTEES
Māori land shares can be transferred, by a vesting order, to a
trustee from a person who owns, or is entitled to own, Māori
land shares.
Before applying to the Māori Land Court for an occupation
order, you will need consent from the other owners of the
land, and if applicable, from trustees or the management
