Succession to furtherinterests
If you’ve already submitted your succession application and you discover that there are more Māori land interests to include, you can apply for succession to furtherinterests.

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.
