Wāwāhanga ā-hapū (utu tāpae $228)
Hapū partition (filing fee $228)
A hapū partition divides the whenua and distributes the new land blocks among the existing owners.
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.
The
intended amendments are designed to provide
a strong platform for Māori landowners, to
give Māori landowners more autonomy and, if
they so choose, support to realise the economic
potential of their land.
Changes also strengthen the protections for Māori land. For example, when whenua is
changed from Māori customary land to Māori freehold land, the interests of the owners
will not be individualised.
