Before you apply to the court you must assess whether the proposed change is feasible.
You’ll need to get:
a copy of the block details for each block
a current list of owners, and
a current certificate of title from the court.
You’ll also need to notify the members of the whānau and hapū associated with the land (the “preferred classes of alienees”) at least twice before the court hearing. For a more detailed definition of “preferred classes of alienees”, see “Overview and key terms” at the beginning of this chapter.
Note: For complex applications you’ll need to contact your local Māori Land Court for more information.
