Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.
Where an person has a life interest or is a joint tenant in Māori Land you can use this form to transfer those interests
to the beneficiaries (remainderman) or the other party to a joint tenancy where the life/joint tenant has passed away,
wishes to surrender their interests or the life tenant has remarried or entered into a civil union or de facto
relationship.

In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
What has changed?
Succession is the legal transfer of interests or shares in Māori
land from a person who has passed away to the people who
are legally entitled to own those interests.
