Historically, most succession applications were heard by a Māori Land Court judge. Now, if your succession application is assessed to be ‘simple and uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be heard by a judge in a court sitting).
Use this form to file an appeal against a final decision or determination of the Māori Land Court. An appeal under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 may only be lodged within 2 months from the date of the decision or determination, unless accompanied by an application seeking leave to appeal out of time on Form 1.
It is also important to notify every person named as a party in the application and any other person affected by the application.
