Succession applications
Succession is the transfer of shares in Māori land from a deceased owner to their
descendants and beneficiaries.
In practical terms there is almost no customary land, ie land that has not gone before the Court and to which title has been issued to particular owners in defined shares, remaining.
The Māori Land Court is conducting an
inquiry to establish the successors to SILNA lands pursuant to Section 29, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 in accordance
with an application filled by the Minister of Māori Affairs, currently under application A20180009373.
How are mortgages registered against whenua Māori?
14. Where the title to the land is held by a Māori land trust or a Māori Incorporation, the
mortgage has to be sent to the Māori Land Court’s Registrar for noting (ss 150A and
150B of the Act).

The benefits of an incorporation include:
the ability to establish and run commercial operations for maximum financial benefit to the shareholders
the application of a corporate model to the management of Māori land
autonomy from the normal Māori Land Court practices that apply to trusts, and
voting and resolutions by shareholders are based on the number of shares held, rather than the number of votes received.
(b) No later than one year prior to the Expiry Date, the Occupier shall be entitled to
apply to the Māori Land Court to extend the duration of this order for the
Extension Period.
This was intended to
allow the Crown to govern control of the lands held by settlers and retain their right to
manage their own lands, possessions and affairs
