PRODUCED BY THE CHIEF JUDGE OF THE MĀORI LAND COURT AND CHAIR
OF THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL
21 September 2026
This resource is a guide for the media seeking to attend Māori Land Court, Māori Appellate
Court and Waitangi Tribunal proceedings.
Succession with administration (Form 21)
Sections 117 and 118 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and rule 10.2(2)(a) of the Māori Land Court Rules 2011
Use this form if the deceased left a will and formal administration has been granted by the High
Court:
• The interests go to the people named in the will (if they are entitled to the interests)
The report does not address that historical context. The 21
year period since the passing of the Act has arguably been the quietest two decades
of legislative activity affecting Māori land since 1840.
