SECTION:
APPLIC...
This form may be used by the executor(s)/administrator(s) of an estate to certify those persons entitled to the Māori
freehold land interests held by the estate, and/or in the case of a deceased Māori, any General Land intrests.
Frustrations have arisen in the utilisation of the land as the estate’s trustees have been unable to make distributions to the beneficiaries (of whom seven are now deceased) without giving some a greater benefit than others.
If the will includes provisions for Māori land interests and who they should be left to, the administrators of the estate can complete a certificate by administrator.
