The accurate documentation of succession to land is critical and enables landowners to work together to make decisions about its use for the benefit of all landowners, their whānau, and future generations.
You can find information on:
the current list of landowners of the block
when a person became a landowner, who they inherited whenua interests from and the type of land ownership they have
the previous landowners and line of succession, or whakapapa of the whenua.
Pātaka Whenua, the Māori Land Court’s new online portal, launched in June 2023. In Pātaka Whenua, landowners can find information about their whenua, search the court record, and apply to the court directly online.
By creating a free, culturally appropriate and safe process
outside of a court sitting, landowners and other Court users
can kōrero and wānanga about the dispute privately and
come up with their own workable solutions.
