The Act now clarifies that Māori Land Court judges will follow
the tikanga of the hapū or iwi associated with the land being
succeeded to when deciding whether whāngai can succeed to
a land interest.
Important Note: If an undivided interest in land i.e. shares in a block is being transferred, section 148 of the Act requires the transferee to be a member of
the preferred classes of alienees which comprise –
• A child or remoter issue of the transferor.
• Whanaunga who are associated in accordance with tikanga Māori with the land.
• An owner in the land who is a member of the hapü associated with the land.
• A trustee of a person belonging to 1 to 3 above.

Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases:
a roadway would have been created to give access to the land
there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or
a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.
For example, you will need to be able to record that a
surviving spouse is entitled to income from a land interest that
they do not own, and that some owners are not entitled to the
income from their land interest.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
Your application will be considered ‘uncontested’ when:
• it has been notified according to Māori Land Court Rules;
and
• it has been published in the Māori Land Court’s National
Pānui; and
• no one has objected to the application.
