Excellent resource for wills - advice, and cost-effective providers

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

I've just found this site - www.moneyhub.co.nz... - an excellent survey of several inexpensive will providers, plus important principles and guidelines.

CLICK ON THE LINKS - neighbourly.co.nz doesn't show the full URL within the post (instead it shows an elipsis i.e. 3 dots ...). I like the Perpetual Guardian www.ewills.co.nz... option - it's a bit more expensive than some versions but is still only $100 for a basic will, and has input by their legal team rather than depending solely on a computer. I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experiences with any of these providers - and if you'd like a quick check of the finished product just to reassure you that it's okay, we can probably arrange that - over coffee in Oxford if you're paying, or by email for $20 (limited to the first 10!)

'Do I need a new will? - I already have one...'

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

You should review your will regularly - but that doesn't necessarily mean you need a new one.
YOU NEED A NEW WILL IF:
* your will specifies your children by name as beneficiaries and you have had another baby in the meantime;
* your will makes cash gifts that you no longer have the money … View more
You should review your will regularly - but that doesn't necessarily mean you need a new one.
YOU NEED A NEW WILL IF:
* your will specifies your children by name as beneficiaries and you have had another baby in the meantime;
* your will makes cash gifts that you no longer have the money for unless your house is sold;
* your named executors can no longer act;
* the executor is the Public Trust or a lawyer and you don't want your estate to have to pay the level of fees they will charge;
* your ex-spouse/ex-partner is the executor and your separation/ dissolution happened after the will was made;
* you have married or entered a long-term relationship since making the will;
* you have changed your mind about who gets what, or your will specifies particular property that you no longer own;
* you need to appoint a 'testamentary guardian' for your children, and your current will does not do this.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Cost for transmission of land to executors after probate is granted?

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

Today's discovery was an estimate of $800 (incl GST) to transfer land from a deceased owner to the executors/administrators once probate is granted (or letters of administration). I admit to being a bit surprised. Are any local lawyers doing this for less? (Would you like Kiwilaw to?)

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.
