Succession Made Easier:
EMBRACING YOUR LEGACY
Welcome to the Ranginui No. 12 Block - a place of heritage, history, and community. If you're wondering about the next steps for succession, fear not! We've got you covered with all the info you need to ensure your rightful place in this treasured land.
Step 1: The Application Ready to start your succession journey? You'll need to file a succession application with the Maori Land Court. But here's the great news: you can do this from any Maori Land Court in New Zealand! So, no matter where you reside, your connection to this land can be honored.
Step 2: Unveiling Your Whakapapa Your whakapapa - the ancestral lineage that ties you to the landowner - plays a pivotal role in the process. This is your ticket to proving who you are and asserting your rightful claim. Sometimes, this valuable information may be documented in the will of your cherished whānau, such as your mother, father, kuia, koro, uncle, or aunty. Your link to them ensures you're eligible to file the succession application. The will is vital evidence that speaks of your rightful place in the land's legacy.
Step 3: Whānau Trusts - Unite for Prosperity At Ranginui 12 Trust, we encourage the formation of Whānau Trusts when succession applications are filed. This step prevents the fragmentation of shares into minuscule portions. With a Whānau Trust, you unite with your whānau to manage all matters concerning the land. As a unified force, your Whānau Trust will receive applicable distributions and dividends from Ranginui No. 12 Trust. It's a wonderful way to bring together your Māori land interests, benefiting your entire whānau and their descendants.
More Information Awaits! Eager to dive deeper into the details? The Māori Land Court is your ultimate source for additional information. They're here to guide you on your quest to secure your rightful place in this cherished heritage.
Together, let's embrace our legacy and create a vibrant future for generations to come!
