There are 27,137 Māori freehold land titles and approximately 2.3 million ownership interests in those titles. So we are dealing with multiple owners averaging 85 owners per title – the lowest 10% averaging 1 owner to each title, and the highest 10%, averaging 629 owners in each title.
If one owner dies, the other joint tenant(s) automatically succeed to the interest that the deceased joint tenant held.
When the life tenant dies, their right to life interest finishes. Many life interests state that the life interest will terminate if the life tenant remarries.
