• Whānautrust
This is a whānau-oriented trust. It allows the whānau to
bring together their Māori land interests for the benefit of
the whānau and their descendants.
Those entitled to succeed do not wish to form a whānautrust.
Those entitled to succeed have conferred and wish to vest the interests of the deceased into a whānautrust.

Governance entities In the context in which I work, we have a range of governance entities, from trusts to incorporations, but no matter what the governance structure is - whether it is an ahu whenua trust, a whānautrust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.
Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānautrust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānautrust.
(k) Landowner(s): [insert the names of the owners of the Parent Block or
the name of the existing management structure (in the case of a trust, name the
current trustees, followed by “as trustees of the [name of trust]”)]
(l) Maximum Occupants: [Twelve (12)] people.
