Succession is confirmed by a judge or registrar, and the whakapapa to land and landowners become part of the permanent court record.
You should attach this request to your application and include any evidence required to support your request, and file everything with the Registrar for consideration (or for referral to a Judge). Note: The power of a Registrar or Judge to remit, reduce, or refund a fee is a discretionary one, and you must demonstrate that you are unable to, or ought not be required to, pay the required fee.
