At our 2018 AGM held on 8 December at the Heretaunga Taiwhenua, the new trustees made a commitment to finding all owners and putting together an information pack for whānau to see a step by step process to prepare to receive unclaimed monies. What we have discovered is that when whānau do go through this process of succession, the Māori Land Court do not notify the trust. Therefore, whānau have a responsibility to contact us to update details as well. Alternatively the Māori Land Court information they have is not always the most updated. We have had discussions with Inland Revenue and the Māori Land Court to find out how we can improve the system. The most success we have had is when we approach whānau who know other whānau members, otherwise it's a very difficult task.
