A mortgage or loan may be acquired by:
the sole owner of a Māori landblock
all the owners of a Māori landblock acting together
the trustees of a Māori landblock who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or
a Māori Incorporation which holds Māori land.
The Act recognises that blocks of Māori land are generally
owned by people connected to each other and to the land
through kin groups, such as iwi7 and hapū8.
This information helps us to find the correct records relating to your whānau and whenua so we can make sure the land is being transferred to the right people.
This includes a list of all aggregated (or combined) Māori landblocks. It does not include information about Crown Land, Crown Land Reserved for Māori, general land owned by Māori, or landblocks under internal review.
The website also
contains a link to Māori Land Online, a tool
that provides web based information on
the current ownership and title information 1
for all Māori Land Court blocks.
