A mortgage or loan may be acquired by:
the sole owner of a Māoriland block
all the owners of a Māoriland block acting together
the trustees of a Māoriland block who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or
a Māori Incorporation which holds Māoriland.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The MaoriLand Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
Succession is the legal transfer of interests or shares in Māoriland from a person who has passed away to the people who
are legally entitled to own those interests.
