In 1993, the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand. Today, many Māori landowners continue to act as collective kaitiaki of their whenua, to honour and protect their land as taonga-tuku-iho.
If death has been established at a previous hearing a further death
certificate may not be required.
2 Names of immediate family members
The information provided in question 5 helps the Court to search for land interests—any additional whakapapa
could help the Court in its search.
3 Next of kin
Where there is no will, next of kin for the purposes of succession are children of the deceased.
The process to do this is different from other
Māori Land Court application processes.
Landowners and other interested parties, if
appropriate, should hold a meeting to decide
to set aside land as a Māori reservation.
