Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, ss 219, 220
The trust is established by the making of a trust order by the Māori Land Court. The trust order states the objectives of the trust, the rights and obligations of the trustees, and the rights of the beneficiaries.
A trust order – often also called a “trust deed” – is a document that sets out the rules that will govern the trust. The trustees must follow those rules.
There are some trust deed templates on the Māori Land Court website that you can customise.
