In August 2020, the Government passed targeted changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify the legal processes for owning, occupying and using Māori land. What has changed? Succession is the legal transfer of interests or shares in Māori land from a person who has passed away to the people who are legally entitled to own those interests.
BENEFICIAL OWNER The owner of a beneficial interest in land. Where land is vested in trustees, the trustees are the legal owners of the land and they hold it upon trust for the beneficial owners and they manage that land in accordance with the trust order set by the Court.

Occupation orders can now be granted not only to the landowner or any person entitled to succeed to their interest, but also to beneficiaries of the whānau trust that holds a beneficial interest in the land.
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.
