Historically, most succession applications were heard by a Māori Land Court judge. Now, if your succession application is assessed to be ‘simple and uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be heard by a judge in a court sitting).
Where the relevant tikanga does not recognise a relationship that entitles whāngai to succeed, the Māori Land Court may issue a court order giving whāngai a lifetime right to receive income or grants from the land or the right to occupy the family home on the land, or both.
