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.
Because Māori land can have so many owners, creating a trust can be an efficient way to make decisions about the whenua.
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.
Please include as much information as possible in your enquiry. Names of whānau, trusts, and whenua and related documents make it easier for us to complete research and provide a quality response.
