What to file with your application
You should file documents in support of your case. For
example, for an application for succession, you’ll need a
death certificate, any grant of administration (grant of
probate2 or letters of administration3) or the original will,
minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānau trust is required,
and consents of the proposed trustees.
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.
What to file with the application
Evidentiary documentation should be
filed with the application. For example, an
application for succession will require a
death certificate, any grant of administration
(probate 2 or letters of administration 3) or the
original will, minutes of a whānau meeting if
a whānau trust is required and consents of
the proposed trustees.
With shares held by individuals becoming increasingly fractionated but shares held in whānau trusts being relatively stable, I foresee a time when these whānau trusts will be major shareholders in trusts and incorporations.
However, the trustees must have the power to grant
licences to occupy in their trust order. The trust order may
also limit who may apply and impose any conditions.
The Court will also need to be sure that there are no health issues related to the siting of the proposed urupā. For example, if there is a nearby water course the Court is likely to require the applicant to make inquiries with the Health Department and the local authority about any issues that such a feature might present in relation to a proposed burial ground.
