The Act now clarifies that Māori Land Court judges will follow the tikanga of the hapū or iwi associated with the land being succeeded to when deciding whether whāngai can succeed to a land interest. This means that in some cases whāngai may succeed to land interests as if they were a birth child or grandchild of the person who has passed.

For example, you will need to be able to record that a surviving spouse is entitled to income from a land interest that they do not own, and that some owners are not entitled to the income from their land interest.

Of the approximately 2.3 million ownership interests in Māori land, anecdotal evidence indicates that about half of these interests are held by deceased persons; many land interests are owned by the same person under multiple names; and many owners live far from their land and, in some cases, do not know they are owners of Māori land at all.
You can find "Total area of the block in hectares", "Total interests (shares) of the block", and Owners interests (shares) in the block" in Pātaka Whenua.
The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order. This occurs most commonly between close whānau members.
