It is good to kōrero with whānau about whāngai succession
before applying to succeed to a deceased landowner’s
interests.
If you are awhānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’.
Issues Options that may be possible at mediation

What are the decisions you have made in the events leading up to now? For example, agreeing to attend
a mediation hui.
Court processes can also be
time consuming and costly.
By creating a free, culturally appropriate and safe process
outside of a court sitting, landowners and other Court users
can kōrero and wānanga about the dispute privately and
come up with their own workable solutions.
However, the reality was that some of our Māori Land Court staff were ill-equipped to do this due to both a lack of resources, and a lack of access to court records.
That may be submitting another type of application or getting in contact with other agencies or organisations who can assist you with the next chapter of your journey. Once you have had a discussion with your whānau about your aspirations for your whenua and you have come up with a plan, our Pae Manawa are here to support you with your next steps.
