This result only matches your search query when viewed in Te Reo Māori.Some people become landowners when land is gifted or transferred to them.
Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
This practice note has been issued as a guide to assist landowners, lawyers and the banking sector with lending against Māori freehold land (“whenua Māori”).
Māori trustees and committee of management members are responsible for caring for and managing whenua on behalf of landowners (beneficial owners and beneficiaries).
Whether you’re a landowner, currently working with us, or have engaged with us in the past, your feedback is important.
Transferring Māori Land Shares is one of a series of Māori Land Court booklets designed to help Māori – and anyone else with an interest – to gain a fuller understanding of current Māori land matters.
