In the issues paper produced
in April 2021 by the Law Commission entitled “Review of Succession: Rights to a person’s property on
death” the paper identifies a number of tikanga that I consider to be relevant and reproduce here.
The MLC deals with applications for new trusts,
replacement trustees, variations to trusts, reviews of trusts
and formal complaints, and receives trust reports and
financial accounts.

Fifth The project has also highlighted the need for the Māori Land Court to be more proactive in its identification and review of defunct trusts and incorporations due to circumstances such as the death of key trustee or management committee members.
The reform options proposed in the paper deal with every stage of the decision making process. The review also assesses how the primary legislation interfaces with other key statutes, and the respective roles central and local government and private groups should play in the provision and management of cemeteries.
With the focus of the recent review on increased productivity of land, let’s not forget the many trusts and incorporations that already do a great job and are success stories that have been celebrated this weekend.
