Māori Trustees

A Māori Trustee is a professional or organization appointed to manage and protect the assets, property, or rights held on behalf of Māori individuals, whanau (families), or groups, especially when they lack the resources to do so themselves. They operate under legal frameworks to ensure that assets are preserved, used appropriately, and benefits are maximized for Māori beneficiaries. Their role includes managing land, settlements, and cultural assets, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, and upholding Māori values and interests in their management.
