This model for the utilisation of multiply-owned Māori land had its origins in Taitokerau in 1989 where, under s 438 of the Māori Affairs Act 1953, a block was vested in a trust with exclusive use areas identified in a schedule to the trust order for whānau shareholding groups.
Trustees may be held personally liable, jointly and severally, for any losses a trust may sustain and for other breaches of trust.
Use this form to create a Whānau Trust by vesting some or all of your interests in trustees to hold on behalf of the descendants of a given person or tupuna (the beneficiaries) If you are creating a Whānau Trust as part of a succession application please complete form 23.
