SUCCESSION TO SHARESShares in a Māori incorporation are deemed to be shares in
Māori land, and succession is arranged in the same way as for
Māori land.
It also enables Māori landowners to seek a charging order
if they have paid more than their share of water services
charges on Māori freehold land held in multiple ownership.
If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple
ownership has paid more than their share of water
services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land
Court under section 69A of the Act for a charging
order to recover the excess amount paid.
