SUCCESSION TO SHARESShares in a Māori incorporation are deemed to be shares in
Māori land, and succession is arranged in the same way as for
Māori land.
Important Note: If an undivided interest in land i.e. shares in a block is being transferred, section 148 of the Act requires the transferee to be a member of
the preferred classes of alienees which comprise –
• A child or remoter issue of the transferor.
• Whanaunga who are associated in accordance with tikanga Māori with the land.
• An owner in the land who is a member of the hapü associated with the land.
• A trustee of a person belonging to 1 to 3 above....
Whakapapa of any person who is receiving shares in Māori land.
Explanatory Notes
Where undivided interests or shares in Māori land are to be exchanged the Court has no power to make an order
unless the person receiving the shares in a block is either -
(i) a child or remoter issue of the owner in that block of the shares to be exchanged, or
(ii) a descendant of any former owner who is or was a member of the hapū associated with the land, or...
You can calculate whether you have enough shares by dividing the area of the whole block with the total number of shares in the block to work out what area of land each share relates to.
(state your full name), apply for an Occu-
pation Order over the Māori freehold land or General Land owned by Māori named above as the site for a house.
Much like a partition, an amalgamated block is dependent on:
agreement or sufficient degree of support from the owners
the value of each land block and the shares (before amalgamation)
the value of the new land block (after amalgamation)
access arrangements to the new land block, and
new shareholding, based on the value of the pre-amalgamation shares, in the new land block.
