Where an owner has a life interest or is a joint tenant in Māori Land you can use this form to transfer those interests
to the beneficiaries (remainderman) or the other party to a joint tenancy where the life/joint tenant has passed away,
wishes to surrender their interests or the life tenant has remarried or entered into a civil union or de facto relationship.

a nominee with strong support from the owners may be unsuitable through a lack of ability, experience and knowledge or for other reasons.
