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

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
