Use this form to apply to the Court for an order vesting part or all of any Māori Land or General Land owned by Māori in an owner or a person entitled to succeed to an owner for the purpose of a house site or to confirm an existing house site (including a house that has already been built and is located on the land).
Changes also strengthen the protections for Māori land. For example, when whenua is changed from Māori customary land to Māori freehold land, the interests of the owners will not be individualised.
