Successions are ongoing until the land is transferred to the successors.
You can download and edit these PDF forms for the Māori Land Court and the Māori Appellate Court applications and email or mail them to us.
For the Māori Land Court, our focus is on being able to progress the successions as quickly as we can in order to update the lists of successors so that meetings of successors can be called.
If an owner with Māori Land interests is deceased, and a succession has not previously been dealt with by the Court or a Registrar, you can use this form to seek a determination from the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
