This kind of appeal is different from appealing orders made by the Māori Land Court.
The owner of a beneficial interest in land. Where land is vested in trustees,
the trustees own the land as legal owners on behalf of the beneficiaries.
If you have a current application in the Māori Land Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you attempt to settle the dispute outside of court.
If an owner with Māori land interests is deceased, and probate, letters of administration or an election to administer
the estate have been granted by High Court, or is to be obtained, you can use this form to seek a determination from
the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.
