If an owner with MāoriLand 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
MāoriLand interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
I went on to discover however that at the time those successionapplications were made, various Māoriland interests had not been identified by the Court and were not included in the 1967 orders.
Why make this change?
Succession to Māoriland interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māoriland is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
