Wills - costs - and mirror wills

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

Public Trust charges $280 for a simple will, $500 for more complicated wills.

Public Trust charges $280 for a simple will, $500 for more complicated wills.

For simple wills, I like the look of ewills.co.nz which produces online wills for $100, but I haven't seen their output yet. Until further notice, I'd be happy to look over the results without charge if people use them, if you email the results to me, just to know what they produce. (There are also other online providers - I think the cheapest I found was about $45 - the same offer applies - I'd be interested to see what they produce and to know whether they are user friendly, and I'll let you know without charge whether what they have produced is 'legally okay'.)

For a will from scratch I would charge between $150 and $700 depending on complications and whether you provide information to me efficiently e.g. by email rather than by personal interview. HOWEVER, I don't provide a will-storage service - you have to make your own arrangements for keeping the original will safe. ALSO, I don't spend time witnessing the will - I send it to you with instructions for you to arrange to sign in front of two adults who are not mentioned in the will.

Mirror wills - where spouses make wills that are identical except for reversing the will-maker and executor - shouldn't cost more than a single will (in my opinion). It takes 30 seconds to reverse those details. If someone tries to charge you twice as much, just do one will and then copy it out yourself, swapping the details.

The main value that lawyers add to the will-making process is advice about how to deal with tricky situations. If you don't have a tricky situation, you don't need a lawyer's will.

Hi neighbours,

Did you hear a "sonic boom" and see an object flying across the Canterbury sky? Many residents witnessed a suspected meteor this week.

The burning rock was at least the size of a fist – much larger than what astronomers usually see above New Zealand. Usually the objects are about the size of a grain of sand.

The arrival of a meteor can be impressive, with even something pebble-sized lighting up in the sky, Canterbury Astronomical Society president Euan Mason says.

So what did you think of the meteor? Where were you when you saw it? And do you see them often from your place? Let us know in the replies!

My lovely cousin and her 3 beautiful kids (aged 5,3 &2) have recently moved to Christchurch from Taupo and are looking for a rental home so she can get her eldest daughter back into school ASAP. As the little ones prefer being together in one room she is looking for a 2-3brm home. Fully fenced is a must, as is heating (warm/dry) and a bath. Long term lease preferred. She registered with local real estate agents today but I said I’d see if any ‘neighbours’ might know if anything properties available now/coming up. Thanks in advance! Cheers Jeanine
