Preservation of the integrity of the record, the record will prevail As a court of record, our key purpose is to accurately document the succession and management of Māori land. That information makes up the Māori Land Court record, which is the legal and official documentation of land ownership of whenua Māori.
If an owner with Māori Land interests is deceased, and a succession has not previously been dealt with by the Court or a
Registrar, you can use this form to seek a determination from the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s
Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
Indeed, the owners all accept that I must resolve the issue in this instance”
Tikanga Māori is defined in Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (the Māori Land Act) as “Māori Customary
rights and values”.
If an owner with Māori land 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 Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.
