Visit the Ministry of Justice careers website to find information about Māori Land Court vacancies.
If an owner with Māori Land interests is deceased, and a succession has not previously been dealt with by the Court or a
Registrar, 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.
If you’re making a whenua timeline you can access historical information of that whenua as recorded in the Māori Land Court (or our predecessor, the Native Land Court).
If you prefer to talk kanohi ki te kanohi, you can visit us in person at one of our nine offices. If you're unable to travel to one of our offices, you can attend one of our paneke.
