to provide notice to interested parties of hearings being
conducted in, and applications received by, the Mäori LandCourt.
If an owner with Māori land interests is deceased, and probate, letters of administration or an election to administer
the estate have been granted by High Court, or is to be obtained, you can use this form to seek a determination from
the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.
No formal appellate body was set up
until the establishment of the Native Appellate
Court in 1894. This Court, today the Māori
Appellate Court, was established to hear appeals
from the Native LandCourt.
If this is not done, the Court may direct that formal notice be given to the
beneficiaries.
