Legal representation Speaking in court
Māori land matters are whānau matters. You can bring whānau with you to court to support you and your application.
In recognition of the principles of the Act that land is taonga
tuku iho, of special significance, and to promote the retention
of the land in the hands of its owners and their whānau and
hapū, the judges usually require that an owner wishing to gift
or sell an interest first consult with their children and whānau.

Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa.
