A mortgage or loan may be acquired by:
the sole owner of a Māoriland block
all the owners of a Māoriland block acting together
the trustees of a Māoriland block who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or
a Māori Incorporation which holds Māoriland.

Manatōpū MāoriMāori incorporation
A Māori incorporation has a structure like a company and can be set up over any Māoriland.
Why make this change?
Succession to Māoriland interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māoriland is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
(e) If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, then one will be appointed by a Judge
of the MāoriLand Court in the district where the relevant land is located.
