Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, s 264; Māori Incorporations Constitution Regulations 1994, Schedule 1, clauses 28, 31, Form 5
Māori incorporations manage their own successions (the transfer of ownership after a landowner-shareholder has died), rather than this having to be dealt with by the Māori Land Court. If a shareholder in an incorporation has died, the executor for the deceased person’s estate (property) can apply directly to the incorporation for the deceased’s shares to be transferred to the people entitled to them (the successors).
For more information about succession to Māori land, see “Succession: Transfer of ownership when an owner dies” in this chapter.
