If you do apply to one of these
courts, you must file a notice of your application with the
MLC so it won’t make any orders before the High Court or
Family Court has dealt with the matter.
Contesting the will
If anyone wants to contest 26 the deceased’s
will, they can make application to the High
Court or the Family Court for hearing under
the Family Protection Act 1955.
Notice of the application to the High Court
or the Family Court should be filed with
the Māori Land Court so that it will not
inadvertently make any orders before the
High Court or the Family Court has dealt
with the matter.
