Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court
You do not need to register in Pātaka Whenua to be able to access information or make an application or enquiry.
If an owner with Māoriland 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 MāoriLand interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.
If the will includes provisions for Māoriland interests and who they should be left to, the administrators of the estate can complete a certificate by administrator.
