My opinion piece published in the Dominion Post today (and Stuff) on Melissa Lee and her removal as Minister of Ethnic Affairs in the broader topic what that means for ethnic representation and belonging.

The new Trusts Act 2019 brings changes from 30 January 2021. It applies to existing Family Trusts, Trading Trusts and Trusts created under Wills.
The Act makes the administration of a trust more transparent. There is an expectation that beneficiaries must be told of the trust exists, that they can potentially benefit under it. and be informed of any changes that might affect their entitlements. The responsibility, compliance and liability of all trustees will increase.
You must consider whether your trust is still needed and if so if it will comply with the new trust laws and that all your trustees are up to speed.
