A Māori Freehold Land disclaimer may appear when you search for a title or instrument in Land Record Search.
Disclaimers appear when there is a possibility that the title or instrument is Māori Freehold Land. We can't guarantee this possibility.
When there is a link in a disclaimer you can select it to search for more information on the Māori Landonline website.

"This title has been identified by LINZ as potentially being Māori Freehold Land, you can view this in the Pātaka Whenua online portal. If you believe this is incorrect, or has been linked to the incorrect block, please contact us."
