I recently heard of someone (North Island) who needed 'letters of administration' for someone's estate after the person died suddenly.

He didn't leave much, just Kiwisaver, but over the $15,000 threshold where a grant of administration is necessary. His family asked three different lawyers what it would cost. They were told a 'minimum' of $3000. One said there would also be '$500 disbursements'.
That is obscene.
'Disbursements' would be $200 for High Court fee. Plus maybe $100 for a will enquiry (if placed in the most expensive part of New Zealand, otherwise $57.50). Plus $35.70 for a paternity search. Anything else was legal fees or office expenses.
In most cases, Kiwlaw will do the work for $400 plus disbursements. Add $100 for necessary advice to a spouse if they are the applicant. You can do your own will enquiry and paternity search, or use Kiwilaw's automated online 'bot' to do it, or pay a bit more for Kiwilaw to do it. We will send you the documents with full instructions for signing and sending to the High Court. It's not that hard. Don't let bereavement become a rip off.

If you are making use of OSCAR care, would you please be as kind as to indicate which dates families will require care from. We would like to establish if families require 3 or 4 weeks of holiday care and activities for their children. Thank you for your time. :-)
OPINION: Johnny Moore says if the smiles from ear to ear are anything to go by then the electric scooter trial is a success. The "grumpy old men" need to stop grizzling and remember what having fun is like.
