The Act stipulates that the Court's objective is to keep Māori lands in Māori hands, protect wāhi tapu, and assist landowners in living on, developing, and using their land for the benefit of all owners, their whānau, and their hapū. Our rules and regulations The Māori Land Court Rules 2011 set out how we operate, including how we receive, review, notify, process, and conclude applications.
For example, an application for succession will require a death certificate, any grant of administration (probate 2 or letters of administration 3) or the original will, minutes of a whānau meeting if a whānau trust is required and consents of the proposed trustees.
