If this is not done, the Court may
direct that formal notice be given to the beneficiaries.
6 Whāngai
Where it is desired to include whāngai as successors, the Court will normally require evidence of their acceptance by
the family, either by signed consents or orally at the hearing.
7 Succession by will
Where a testator died after 1 July 1994, the right to succeed under a will is limited by section 108 of Te Ture Whenua
Māori Act 1993 to certain classes of people.
That firm then amalgamated with D.E Wackrow in 1997 becoming Wackrow & Co, and he became a partner in that firm in 2002 which is currently known as Wackrow Williams & Davies Limited. The Law firm has been a finalist in the NZ Law Awards three times and has won two NZ Māori language awards.
