Public Trust Estate Charges

Ian from Tawa

Hi all, a while back I had a bit of a moan about public trust and their estimated charges for my mothers cash only estate. Having now been finalized just want to give people a picture of their charges:

Fixed Fee charges
Estate establishment fee $2,024.00

Estate Finalisation Fee $1,641.00

External Term Deposit Set-up fee $55.00

Income Commission $119.01

Physical & Digital Office Expenses $55.00

Probate/Grant of Administration fee $949.00

Time and Attendance charges

Additional Services $1,714.34

Beneficiary distributions $63.07

Communications and meetings $409.26

Complex grant of administration $328.90

Deal with estate assets and liabilities $3,108.14

Legal services $95.20

Processing payments and receipts $425.04

Tax administration services $161.92

Disbursement Paid for on behalf

Administration costs $66.78

GST $1,440.22

Total(including GST) $11,215.66

Pretty straightforward cash only estate although the additional services will likely relate to trying to locate my errant brother who was never going to talk to them anyway (public notice & then a PI).

Make your own call :(

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
