If you have a current application in the Māori Land Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you attempt to settle the dispute outside of court.
If the deceased did not leave a will, under the Act, their land will transfer as follows:
• If the deceased had children, they receive equal shares of the deceased’s land interests
No record of these conversations will be publicly available on the Māori Land Court record. If an agreement is reached through mediation, the mediator will record the terms of the agreement and provide this to the Māori Land Court.
