To apply for a lease of more than 52 years (a long-term lease), you’ll need to complete a General Form of Application, and include evidence that at least half of the owners or people who own 50% of the land or 50% of the shares (if the land is vested in an incorporation) have approved the long-term lease.
A whenua tōpū trust can also hold non-land assets, such as houses, vehicles, or general land interests.
If an owner with Māori land interests is deceased, and probate, letters of administration or an election to administer the estate have been granted by High Court, or is to be obtained, you can use this form to seek a determination from the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
