Using te reo Māori
Legal representation Speaking in court
Māori land matters are whānau matters. You can bring whānau with you to court to support you and your application.
Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
Remember to be considerate of your whānau relationships during mediation. Give some thought to what you do
and/or say to maintain whānau relationships during mediation.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
This may mean connecting with other agencies and exploring funding opportunities that can help you and your whānau reach your aspirations for your whenua.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
