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

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
31.5% Yes!
-
68.5% No thank you.
