NOTES TO ASSIST APPLICANTS
(i) Death certificate – original or photocopy should be filed. If a death certificate is not readily available by reasonable
enquiry the Court may accept other evidence as to death. If death has been established at a previous hearing a further
death certificate may not be required.
(ii) Will - the original or a copy certified as a true copy by a solicitor or Trustee Company must be supplied where
the Grant of Administration does not contain a copy.
(iii) Next of Kin – where there is no will, or the will is unclear or leaves interests to anyone other than the preferred class of
alienee (who are the family of the deceased) then the next of kin for the purposes of succession are children of the
deceased; if there are no children then brothers and sisters; if neither of these then next of kin are the nearest relatives
on the side of the family from whom the land originated. Generally speaking where next of kin die before the person
from whom succession is sought their children are entitled to the share they would have received had they survived the
deceased.
(iv) Notice of hearing – while an applicant is not required to give formal notice of hearing to other beneficiaries
he or she is expected to consult with them and advise them of the application and when it is to be heard.
If this is not done the Court may direct that formal notice be given to the beneficiaries.
(v) Whāngai – where it is desired to include whängai as successors the Court will normally require evidence
of their acceptance by the family either by signed consents or orally at the hearing.
(vi) Succession by will – where a testator died after 1 July 1994 the right to succeed under a will is limited by s108 of the Act
to certain classes of people. If the successors named in a will are not children or their issue or qualify as next of kin of
the testator an applicant needs to satisfy the Court that they qualify to succeed. The Court office can assist you as to
what the qualifications are to succeed.
(vii) Additional information – if you find that there is not enough room on the form to provide all the information you need
to supply continue your application on a separate sheet of paper.
CHECKLIST OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED:
Original or certified copy of the election to administer,
or
Certified copy of Probate or Letters of administration or other Grant of administration
Copy or photocopy of death certificate
(if available)
Certificate by Administrator
(Form 20 - optional)
Deed of Arrangement
(where applicable)
Declaration or Affidavit where application being dealt with ex parte pursuant to Rule 10.8 of the Māori Land Court
Rules 2011
NOTE: The Court may, under rule 10.8 of the Māori Land Court Rules 2011, deal with an application without requiring attendance by the applicant or any other
person if it is satisfied as to the persons entitled to succeed. The Court’s power is discretionary and it will generally require a hearing where there are issues
to be settled such as rulings on whāngai or other matters which may not be straight forward. If you wish this application to be handled without appearance
and formal hearing, you should indicate Yes in question 24 and complete the following request.
