Historically, most succession applications were heard by a Māori Land Court judge. Now, if your succession application is assessed to be ‘simple and uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be heard by a judge in a court sitting).
The time and travel costs associated with attending a court sitting are removed when an application can be decided by a registrar. This approach also supports the efficient running of the Māori Land Court.

It would be interesting to see the response if our Māori Land Court required the parties’ written submissions in upcoming cases to be uploaded to the Māori land Court website prior to hearings.
Unformed roads still have legal status. They can be constructed to access your land until they are closed and handed back to the owners of the surrounding land blocks.
Because Māori land can have so many owners, creating a trust can be an efficient way to make decisions about the whenua.
