Our Act provides various safeguards to ensure that Māori land may only be transferred by court order following an application to succeed, gift, or sell to the PCA.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An applicationform based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
However, section 338(12) is a barrier to that form of financing on papakāinga reservations. There are not many options for people wishing to build on papakāinga reservations but who need to borrow in order to do so.
You can visit one of our offices to view:

current and historic memorial schedule information recording leases, occupations and other land uses

succession orders (names of successors to an estate)
