If a trust, company, accountant, government agency, Māori Trustee, or other person is holding money you've received from Māori land, you can apply to get this money paid to you. This is referred to an ‘order of payment’.
Payment orders are often made during a succession, when we become aware that money is being held....
If an application for succession includes a whāngai child, we will refer to the tikanga of the relevant hapū or iwi to which the land and whānau are connected.
