From
6 February 2021
On the death of a landowner, descendants can apply
immediately to succeed to the land interest.
The surviving spouse or partner does not receive the land
interest but is entitled to income from the land and to occupy
the family home.
Thus, we have opened
a new chapter in the history of the Māori Land
Court.
As a consequence, we are in a transition
phase between the old approach and new.
Special fixtures are arranged and advertised in accordance
with the provisions of the Mäori Land Court Rules and they
may not necessarily be listed in this publication.
