Once you are ready, make sure to tick the box to agree to the terms and conditions, then click
“Submit” to send your enquiry to the Māori Land Court.
Historically, trust applications were heard by a Māori Land
Court judge.
Now, if your 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).
Please ensure you allow plenty of time for your request to be considered, as your application will not be lodged with
the Court until a decision on your request has been made.
