Succession Guide
The succession of shares process can sometimes feel complex or overwhelming, particularly at a time when
whānau may also be dealing with the loss of a loved one. The purpose of this guide is not to overwhelm you
with legal terminology or technical requirements, but rather to help you gain a clear understanding of what
succession is, why it is important, and the steps involved in transferring shares in Whenua Māori and Wi Pere
Trust interests.
