SIGNATURE OF APPLICANT Dated: / / For more information visit www.māorilandcourt.govt.nz MĀORI LAND COURT CONTACT DETAILS This application may be lodged with the Registrar at any office of the Māori Land Court.
The first step in filing an appeal or charging order application is to gather any supporting documents and complete the general form of application ( Form 1 ).
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
This means that wills do not apply, and all legal children are entitled to succeed, equally. The applications are free. Download the application form for Hāwea-Wanaka Download the application form for Toitoi To apply, please email the completed form and any supporting evidence to mlcsilna@justice.govt.nz or bring the completed application into any of the Māori Land Court offices to send to the Christchurch office.
