Transferring shares as a sale or a gift
You can only transfer Māori land shares by
a sale or a gift with a vesting order, unless
the Māori Land Court agrees to confirm a
memorandum of transfer.
Your feedback will help us provide a better experience for all court users.
The survey opens on Monday 1 September 2025 and will close at midnight on Sunday 21 September 2025.
Inquiry about delayed judgments
If you are concerned about a delay in delivering a reserved judgment in the Māori Land

someone with an interest), an inquiry should be made to Chief Registrar.
That sale cannot proceed unless the owners give to the preferred classes of alienees a right
of first refusal.
Any member of the preferred class of alienees who wishes to be considered by the owners as
a prospective purchaser of the land must give written notice of his or her intention to pursue
the right of refusal at the hearing of the application.
