Wills

We help you prepare a will that reflects your wishes clearly and legally. Whether straightforward or more complex, we’ll make sure your assets are distributed the way you intend, reducing stress and uncertainty for your family.

Why You Need a Will
Many people put off making a Will — it can be uncomfortable to think about, but it is one of the most responsible decisions you can make for your family. Once it’s done, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your wishes are clear and your loved ones are protected.

If you own property, have a bank account, KiwiSaver or superannuation, or life insurance valued at more than $15,000, not having a Will creates considerable additional cost, stress, and delay for those left behind. A properly drafted Will avoids unnecessary complications and ensures your estate is managed according to your wishes.

Making a Will is generally straightforward and not expensive, yet it can save your family significant time, money, and worry in the future. Clear, legally sound advice is essential — every person’s situation is different, and a “one-size-fits-all” approach does not provide the protection you and your family deserve. We tailor your Will to suit your personal circumstances and guide you through each step with clarity.

When Someone Dies Without a Will
If a relative passes away without leaving a Will, we can still assist with the estate. The law sets out how assets must be distributed in these cases, which may not reflect what your loved one would have intended. For example, a partner or spouse may receive less than expected. While funds are highly unlikely to be forfeited to the Government, the process will take longer, involve more cost, and may create unnecessary difficulties for the family.
