WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?
This application form has been modified specifically for use in determining the successors for South Island Landless
Natives (SILNA) lands in accordance with Part 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement.
Introduction While hearing succession applications I often find myself suggesting to those appearing in front of me to consider forming a whānau trust. I stress that a whānau trust is designed to manage specified shares in Māori land, it facilitates the bringing together of interests for the benefit of descendants and most importantly is a valuable tool to prevent ongoing fragmentation or, more correctly, fractionalisation of shares.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
