This form may be used to apply to the Court to confirm one or more resolutions passed by owners in Māori Freehold
Land or General Land owned by Māori who together are members of the same family and who have taken the
opportunity to meet together following a family gathering (such as tangi, wedding or reunion).
After Part 4 searches had been carried out at the MāoriLand Court I learnt that in 1967 an uncle of mine had appeared at the MāoriLand Court and had succeeded to some interests in the name of his mother and father (my grandparents).
Use this form to seek Court confirmation of an instrument or agreement of sale or gift of MāoriLand;
or to confirm a resolution of assembled owners to transfer MāoriLand by way of sale or gift.
Now, landowners and other court users can choose to resolve
disputes related to Māoriland through a free tikanga-based
dispute resolution service provided by the MāoriLand Court.

SUBJECT OF APPLICATION

A mortgage or loan may be acquired by:
the sole owner of a Māoriland block
all the owners of a Māoriland block acting together
the trustees of a Māoriland block who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or
a Māori Incorporation which holds Māoriland.
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).
All applications should be lodged with the Registrar in the District
in which some of all of the land is located
Fee: $23.00
