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 whānautrust is required and consents of
the proposed trustees.
In recognition of the principles of the Act
that land is taonga tuku iho, of special
significance, and to promote the retention
of the land in the hands of its owners and
their whānau and hapū, the Judges usually
require that an owner wishing to gift or sell
an interest first consult with their children
and whānau.
