Bereaved? Need to apply for probate of a will? Why pay $1000+ or more?

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

We are offering a new probate service to executors of wills. This is when executors need to apply to the High Court for a grant of probate, for authority to administer the will.

You provide information by email and online questionnaires, we prepare the documents and courier them to you with full instructions for getting them signed and sending them to the High Court.

We charge $300 including GST, and you also have to pay the High Court filing fee of $200.

As far as we know, other providers (solicitors, Public Trust, etc) charge at least $750 PLUS GST, not counting the High Court fee.

We are offering a special rate till the end of July, while we test our new processes - there may be some glitches and hiccups - but we guarantee the documents (a) will be acceptable to the High Court; and (b) will be prepared within 3 business days of receiving the information we request from you.

No pressure! You may like to donate hundreds of dollars to your favourite family solicitor, especially if they are already holding the will. However, we'd like you to know you have a choice. If you use our service to obtain the grant of probate, you can still use the solicitor for full advice about interpreting the will, any disputes, and the rest of the estate administration.

Please see our website for more details - www.kiwilaw.co.nz.... Thanks for reading.

Two more Selwyn communities will soon have their drinking water chlorinated, but most of the district's water will be left alone – at least for now.

The Selwyn District Council last week rejected a plan to chlorinate all of its drinking water following widespread opposition from its 45,000 residents. More than 96 per cent of submissions made to the council were against the proposal.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
