Pātaka Whenua gives you the ability to search and access Māori land information, submit an enquiry and file a Court application from anywhere at any time.
If the deceased did not leave a will, under the Act, their land will transfer as follows:
• If the deceased had children, they receive equal shares of the deceased’s land interests
In 2003, realising that there was only one uncle and one aunty still alive, something needed to be done. After Part 4 searches had been carried out at the Māori Land Court I learnt that in 1967 an uncle of mine had appeared at the Māori Land Court and had succeeded to some interests in the name of his mother and father (my grandparents).
Changes also strengthen the protections for Māori land. For example, when whenua is
changed from Māori customary land to Māori freehold land, the interests of the owners
will not be individualised.
The Māori Land Court is conducting an
inquiry to establish the successors to SILNA lands pursuant to Section 29, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 in accordance
with an application filled by the Minister of Māori Affairs, currently under application A20180009373.
In addition, in accordance with rule 5.11(1)(b)(iii) of the Māori Land Court Rules 2011, a brief summary
of the reason why the application has not been finally determined is also provided for each entry.
