SUCCESSION TO SHARES
Shares in a Māori incorporation are deemed to be shares in
Māori land, and succession is arranged in the same way as for
Māori land.

Our dispute resolution process is considered 'successful' when both parties agree on an outcome at mediation.
Exceptions include:
• a succession to further interests where
there has been previous succession to
the deceased person
• vesting of lands in a minor who has
turned 20 (provided that all appropriate
documentary evidence is filed with the
application).
At 2025 Chief Judge’s MB 373-390 (4 February 2025) the Court made orders amending a succession order to Teone Karepe I or Hoani Karepe at 32 T 117-119 (30 May 1972) and cancelling a succession order to Porokuru Te Kiwi at 155 ROT MB 234 (30 November 1970).

It is not surprising to me that the skills and capabilities of those in governance are the key to successful enterprise on Māori land.
